If you’re a Verizon user tired of spam or robocalls, the carrier offers several free and built-in tools to block them effectively. Here’s how to stop unwanted calls right away.

1. Turn On Spam Blocking with Verizon Codes

Verizon lets you activate spam protection instantly using simple dial codes:

  • *662 → Turn spam blocking ON

  • *632 → Turn spam blocking OFF

  • *#662 → Check spam blocking status

After dialing *662, you’ll hear a confirmation message that Call Filter is active on your line.

2. Use the Free Verizon Call Filter App

Download Verizon Call Filter (free) from the App Store or Google Play to block, identify, and report spam calls.

Features include:

  • Automatic blocking of high-risk spam calls

  • Spam ID and risk-level alerts

  • Personal block list

  • Optional paid version for caller ID and extra control

3. Silence Unknown or Private Numbers on iPhone

For iPhone users:

  • Go to Settings → Phone → Silence Unknown Callers

  • Toggle On to send calls from unknown numbers directly to voicemail

This works alongside Verizon’s filters for even stronger protection.

4. Report Spam Calls or Texts

If a spam call or message still gets through:

  • Forward spam texts to 7726 (SPAM)

  • Block the number manually from your phone’s recent call list

  • Report persistent spam via Verizon’s Call Filter app

AvNexo Tip: Keep *662 active and use the Call Filter app together — it’s the best free way for Verizon users to stop unwanted calls across the U.S.
