Blocking scam calls on landline
We get dozens of recorded scam calls every week. How do we block these on an AT&T landline? *60 doesn't work for this application (and only blocks 10 LOCAL numbers). Why isn't AT&T doing this automatically?

Let's help you stop these unwanted calls, @dgold!
While *60 is able to block up to 10 local numbers, we have multiple ways to block calls for your landline devices. For example, did you know that you can use *77 to turn on the ability to automatically reject calls?
Let us know if this helps- we hope to hear from you!

I get multiple robo calls from Xfinity, Spectrum, american insurance etc. throughout the day. I have asked to be removed from their call list when i talk to a person, but they just call back using a wireless number or a person's stolen number. There's got to be a way to STOP these called! Signing up for the DO NOT CALL list will not work with Interstate spam/scam calls. How can we stop them?

Glad to help you stop unwanted calls, Dennis_S.
You can stop anonymous calls using *77, block calls with *60, and use other star codes to stop unwanted calls.
If you need help with any other aspect of your phone service, let us know.
Thanks for visiting the AT&T Community Forums.

These scam calls can use thousands of numbers. My CID have a few peoples name and when I answer, they’re from India. You mentioned other “*” options, what other number options are there?
