Good Day & Welcome @onagonkat
Bell Mobility does not offer a call blocking feature per se to block incoming calls. You can block mobility phone numbers by using your mobile phone's built-in call settings.
Android Devices:
- Via Phone App: Open the Phone app, tap the "Recents" tab, long-press the number you want to block, and select "Block/report spam".
- Via Settings: Go to Settings in the Phone app > Blocked Numbers > Add a number.
- Blocking Unknown Numbers: Inside the "Blocked Numbers" setting, toggle "Unknown" to block private/withheld numbers.
iOS Devices (iPhone):
- Open the Phone app and tap "Recents".
- Tap the "i" info icon next to the phone number you want to block.
- Scroll down and tap "Block this Caller".
Blocked numbers on a mobile device will go directly to voicemail. The mobile phone rejects the call and will send it to voicemail. The recipient will not receive notifications. The blocked caller can still leave a message.
The only way to eliminate a message from being left is to completely remove voicemail as well. This is an account level change. If you are the primary account owner, this can be completed by a Bell Community Moderator.

Good Day & Welcome.
Bell Mobility does not offer a call control feature or blocking service as a feature for cell phones.
Depending on your device, there is an option to filter unknown callers. This will send them directly to voicemail. The numbers will still appear in your list of callers. You can "Silence Unknown Callers" in your mobile device Phone settings. Please check out the Helpful reply in this Bell Forum thread.
You can also turn on Call Blocking & Identification in your Phone app. For further information, please visit the support page for your mobile device.
- Block or avoid unwanted calls on iPhone – Apple Support (MY)
- Block a phone number or contact on your Galaxy phone
Bell has also implemented Universal Network-Level Call Blocking (UNCB) to help protect Canadians against certain types of unsolicited calls. UNCB blocks calls that have blatantly inaccurate Call Display information.
Bell introduced a new suspicious call detection feature in late April 2025. Suspicious call detection uses AI analytics to monitor incoming calls in real time, and it alerts you about potential spam or fraud. When you receive a call from a suspicious and unknown phone number, your device will display a warning label to help you decide whether to answer:
- Likely Fraud – calls deemed highly suspicious and fraudulent
- Possible Spam – calls that appear suspicious but are more likely to be categorized as unsolicited.
- You should exercise caution when answering calls with these labels.
Suspicious call detection is a self-evolving analytical engine, and the accuracy will continue to improve over time.
Thank you for posting your question.
Take care.

I have this same issue from a 1-833-***-**** collection agency and they do not answer their number and it their voice mail system fails. They call several times a week directly to my voice mail. It is from a previous owner of the phone number I have.

Hi there, @Moe Bailey . Thanks for reaching out.
We recommend reviewing previous helpful replies in this thread for more info on how to block callers. Regrettably, calls are unable to be completely blocked from connecting to your number.
If the calls prove to be enough of a nuisance, alternative and more extreme options can include requesting your voicemail inbox to be disabled, or requesting to have your number changed.
Let us know if you have any further questions. Best wishes.
— Kris
