Spamdog
Call Blocking
How does call blocking work?
Spamdog relies on its extensive list of identified and known spammers and other malicious phone numbers to keep you protected. The database is constantly updated and if you've upgraded to Spamdog Pro then that database is updated for you automatically as well. Spamdog Free users can update the database for themselves manually whenever a new update is available.
As a Spamdog user, you also have access to additional tools to control who and for what can contact you: creating Block and Allow lists, Warning others of potential spam and configuring your own rules in Blocking Rules.
Still received a call from an unwanted number?
Telemarketers, scammers and spammers use new numbers all the time. We are constantly (every day) updating our list of known numbers used for these types of calls. We highly recommend that if a spam or scam call comes through despite Spamdog you either Block the number or at least select to Warn others. This way calls from that number will no longer come through for you, and we will receive information about the suspected spammer and can add them to the database.
Didn't receive a call you were expecting?
By default Spamdog blocks only calls from numbers found in its database. Check your Spamdog Settings to make sure none of the rules you might've set for yourself are not causing this number to be blocked for you. If the issue persists, please get in touch with us and help us investigate.
If you believe a number is mistakenly listed in the database please let us know by contacting Whatspam Company Support. You can also already Allow it for yourself on your phone to make sure next time the call comes through.
Spamdog is designed to protect users from unwanted contacts, but sometimes it may block legitimate numbers. We continue to review and reassess the blocked numbers and appreciate your help if you see we made a mistake.
