UK ISP TalkTalk Enhance Nuisance Call Blocking with ‘Check and Report’

Thursday, Sep 28th, 2017 (4:47 pm) - Score 1,307

Broadband ISP TalkTalk, which already blocks nuisance calls at the network level and recently enabled Caller Display + Last Call Barring for all users at no extra cost, has today launched a new phone security feature called ‘Check and Report‘ that helps customers to identify and stop unwanted calls.

The ‘Check and Report‘ feature appears to consist of a page on the ISP’s site that allows customers to check who has called them by pasting the phone number into a search box. Users can also use the report feature to highlight unwanted callers and see whether a number is currently blocked from the provider’s network, as well as how many people have searched for the number previously and how many people have commented on it.

Donna Moore, TT’s Head of Scam Prevention (must be a busy job), said:

“Protecting our customers is incredibly important to us and we remain committed to reducing the amount of time our customers spend dealing with unwanted calls. We’ve developed Check and Report to empower customers by giving them a simple way to defend themselves against unwanted nuisance, sales, scam and silent calls.”

End.
