Blocked numbers are not available if you do not provide Smith.ai with the Caller ID.
If there is a specific caller that you do not wish to speak to, you can block their phone number from reaching you and our receptionists. When anyone calls from that number in the future, they will receive a message letting them know they have been blocked. Once a caller has been blocked, you will not be charged for future calls from them (since they don't reach our receptionists).
You'll find this feature useful for:
- Undesirable sales calls
- Unwanted/rude callers
- Unwanted referrals
Adding Numbers to your Blocked List
There are two ways to add individual callers to your blocked list.
Option 1: Via the call summary

Removing a number from the blocked numbers list

- Navigate to the “call handling” menu on the left side toolbar.
