AT&T Unveils AT&T Call Protect to Help Customers Manage Unwanted Calls

AT&T just launched AT&T Call Protect. The free network-based service gives eligible AT&T wireless customers with HD Voice more control over unwanted calls on their smartphones.

This innovative solution harnesses the power of the AT&T network to give customers automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam call warnings.

Customers can simply add the feature through the myAT&T account or the AT&T Call Protect app to get automatic fraud blocking which helps reduce the chances that a customer will become the victim of a phone fraud or scam and suspected spam warnings on the incoming call screen which let customers choose whether or not to answer calls that originate from a suspected spam source.

“Nuisance calls are an industry-wide problem that unfortunately affect many people,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Device and Network Services Marketing, AT&T. “We’ve listened to our customers and know they want a network that provides tools to proactively assist in blocking nuisance calls. AT&T Call Protect, along with others, will help put customers more in control of the calls they receive.”
