Full control over inbound & outbound calls
Call Blocking puts you in control of who can reach you and where your calls can go. Easily block unwanted or nuisance inbound calls before they connect, whether it’s spam, cold callers, or specific numbers. You can also set rules to restrict outbound calls to certain destinations, helping to prevent accidental or unauthorised use of your service. All settings are managed quickly through your customer portal, giving you a simple, effective way to protect your time, your team, and your business.
We know how disruptive nuisance and spam calls can be; not only are they irritating, but they also waste valuable time and can affect your productivity. That’s why we’ve made Call Blocking a powerful and easy-to-use feature, fully accessible through your Number People customer portal.
With Call Blocking, you can instantly prevent specific inbound or outbound numbers from connecting to your service. If you’re regularly receiving spam calls from a particular number, you can simply add it to your block list, and those calls will be automatically stopped before they reach you. This gives you greater peace of mind and ensures your line stays open for the calls that matter.
The feature is equally useful for managing outbound calls. You can block entire ranges or types of numbers, such as international or premium-rate destinations, by entering partial number prefixes. This is especially valuable for businesses that want to prevent accidental or unauthorised outbound calls, reduce costs, or ensure that staff are only calling approved regions. For example, by blocking all calls that begin with international dialling codes, you can ensure your service is used strictly for UK-based calling.
Whether you’re looking to reduce interruptions, increase call security, or take control of how your phone service is used, Call Blocking gives you the flexibility and control to manage it all in just a few clicks — no extra hardware or complex setup required.
