Anonymous Call Rejection

Note: This article applies to AT&T local home phone service. Don't have traditional phone service? Select Voice service or wireless service.

Anonymous Call Rejection (*77) intercepts calls from people who have used a blocking feature to prevent their name or number from being provided to people they call. When Anonymous Call Rejection is activated, callers hear a message telling them to hang up, unblock delivery of their phone number and call again. Your phone will not ring unless the caller removes the block.
