AT&amp;T customers now have another way to fight against spam calls.</p><p>
This week, AT&amp;T revealed a new service (https://www.att.com/offers/call-protect.html) that automatically blocks robocalls and identifies other suspicious spam calls for users on a voice and data contract with a smartphone that supports HD Voice.</p><p>
  The free service, Call Protect, comes with a companion mobile app for iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/at-t-call-protect/id1181632589?ls=1&amp;mt=8) (free) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.callprotect) that lets users setup temporary call blocking and get notifications about what’s been auto-blocked. AT&amp;T’s Call Protect blocks spam calls at the network-level before reaching customer’s phones.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3152870/iphone-ipad/atandt-now-offers-spam-call-blocking-for-free.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
