Hello @Sunshine2014, we'd be glad to provide you with the necessary steps towards managing your AT&T Call Protect spam list.

 

In order to process, you'll need to have the mobile app open:

  1. Open the app and go to the Block tab (it’s a red circle with a slash through it).
  2. Find and tap on the call that was blocked.
  3. Select Unblock.

Good tips to know:

  • We’ll still automatically block potential fraud calls. When private callers hide their numbers and the app flags those calls as fraud or spam, we’ll display those calls as 000-000-0000 on the caller ID display.
  • If your phone has its own block list feature, the numbers you block in the AT&T Call Protect app won’t show on that list.

Let us know how these steps helped and thanks for reaching out to the AT&T Community!

It is auto blocked by the app. It is my leasing company and I definitely don't want them blocked. Is there a way to let the app developers know to not block this number?

No worries, @Sunshine2014.

 

Feel free to review and observe more information about how to submit a request to be removed from the spam list. (Keep in mind, removal is not guaranteed.)

 

Thank you for your time!

This link asks for a username and password that I don't have.

They sent an email saying that the spam label for the specified number has been removed. Thanks!

I have the same problem. My mother-in-Law, who is in my contact list, keeps getting marked as a SPAM caller and her calls to me are now going straight to voicemail. How do I mark her as allowed?

How do you unblock a number that the app has decided it is a "severe threat" when it's in my contact list, and obviously others have selected the "report" tab to only advise they wish it unblocked.   I do not see an "unblock" button.
