Mark Your Calls as Spam

Overview

You can use the mark spam feature to reduce the number of unwanted phone calls that you receive. With this feature, you designate a phone number as either a potentially fraudulent call or as a telemarketer call. If you mark a call as fraudulent, then it is declined, and the number is blocked from calling you again. If you mark a call as a telemarketer, then it rings through to you. But calls from this number display the term Telemarketer in the Incoming Call Alert and display an icon next to them in Recents.

Process
