Stop unwanted nuisance calls
Spam Blocker utilizes third party analytics to apply a spam risk level to all calls you receive. The risk ranking is determined from the call activity of the originating telephone number and is not controlled by Xfinity. See below for details on how to submit feedback regarding the risk ranking of a telephone number.
Spam Blocker’s default settings will order calls in the following manner:
- High Spam Risk calls will be blocked
- Blocked calls will not have the ability to leave a voicemail
- Medium Spam Risk calls will be sent to voicemail
- Calls sent to voicemail will not ring
- Low Spam Risk calls will be allowed
- Risk label will be displayed with incoming notification
- Risk label will be displayed with incoming notification
To manage your Spam Blocker settings, see Spam Blocker controls and settings.
If you believe a phone number has been mislabeled as spam or want to report a number that appears to be nuisance/spam or fraudulent, see How to report potential call blocking errors. Feedback submissions will result in an evaluation, which may result in a change in how future calls are categorized or labeled. Any information you submit is subject to our privacy policy, xfinity.com/privacy/policy.
