No one enjoys getting spam calls or texts, and unfortunately, they can do more than just disrupt your peace. If you engage in a robocall from a scammer, your finances and identity could be at risk. With Robocall Blocker, you have an extra layer of protection between you and unknown and unwanted outreach. Here’s how it works: AUTOMATIC CALL SCREENING When an unknown caller rings your line, Robocall Blocker will ask the caller to state their name and the call’s purpose. You’ll listen to the brief message and either accept the call, reject it, or send it to voicemail. Then, you can choose to block that number or add it to your contacts. Robocall Blocker also cross-references the incoming number against its global database of millions of scam phone numbers and screens the caller’s dialogue for common scamming terms and language patterns. SMS PROTECTION For even greater phone protection, Robocall Blocker can block spam texts as well. When SMS protection is enabled, Robocall Blocker can analyze text messages from unknown senders and check the number against a robocaller database, as well as URLs in the body of the message against a suspicious URL database. Allstate Robocall Blocker is included in select Allstate Identity Protection plans. Not a member?
