Let Phonely Block Unwanted
Calls for You

Further reduce the risk of receiving calls from scammers and fraudsters by having known suspicious numbers blocked on your behalf. Trust Phonely to get to the scammers first.

Auto call blocking

With any Phonely plan we will automatically block the known suspicious numbers on our database for you. This database is updated daily with numbers commonly blocked by our customers. Any number reported via our who called me website reaches our database within the hour!

If you're on a CallGuard or CallGuard+ plan, you can also manually block as many numbers as you wish. Besides that, you can also choose to have calls from withheld numbers blocked automatically, which is a common tactic used by scammers to hide their identity. You can also block calls from non-UK numbers, which are often used by international scammers.

With Phonely, you have the power to decide what calls get through to you.

Unlimited number blocking

With either CallGuard plan you can block as many numbers as you wish. There is no limit on how many numbers you can block, which is something you won't find with most other providers.

Instantly see what numbers have been blocked from calling you

Block calls at any time

On your online dashboard, you can block numbers who have called you as well as manually adding ones you may have experienced in the past.

You can also report a number to our Phonely team, which will investigate the number and if found to be a nuisance or scam number, will add it to our global block list, meaning that number will be blocked for all Phonely customers. By blocking and reporting numbers, you are helping to protect not only yourself but also others from receiving calls from scammers and fraudsters.

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.
