Blocking numbers helps others

The more numbers you block, the more that you protect others from falling victim to scams or fraud via the telephone. This is because Phonely's systems will detect any number that is commonly blocked by our customers and add it to our auto-block database.

Any number that enters our auto-block database will be prevented from calling any customer with any Phonely plan which will in turn further reduce the risk of anyone becoming prey to phone criminals.
