Call Screening

You have control to ensure you receive important calls. You can limit the callers that ring your phone, filter callers, or forward important callers to another number.

Calls from anonymous callers, or other callers, can be given special treatment, such as being blocked, sent directly to voicemail, forwarded to another phone number (like your mobile), or having a custom ring pattern assigned.

NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY

You can also reduce the number of unwanted sales calls you get by signing up for the National Do Not Call Registry. It’s free! Visit lnnte-dncl.gc.ca to register your number.

All Other Callers

If you don’t want to receive calls from anyone, use this feature to block all callers and then enable only custom (specific) callers to reach you.
