Rogers Business Phone: Spam Call Blocking Feature

Contents
Overview

Rogers (formerly Shaw) new Spam Call Blocking feature can be turned on via My Shaw to detect and block phone numbers identified as spam. Available to Rogers Business accounts with an existing phone service.

What is Spam Call Blocking?

We've likely all received a spam call at some point. You know the ones... they can be fraudulent, malicious, or just plain annoying. Spam Call Blocking is a feature that provides opt-in call filtering to intercept these suspected nuisance calls.

Spam call blocking option is included on all Business Phone plans at no cost.

How it works

Rogers uses complex algorithms to detect and block unsolicited calls. Numbers deemed spam are given a negative reputation and will be filtered out.

With Spam Call Blocking enabled, incoming spam call handling depends on whether Rogers voicemail is enabled:

  • Voicemail enabled: spam call will go straight to voicemail.
  • Voicemail disabled: spam call will be terminated and not received at all on your end.

Spam Call Blocking is an opt-in feature, meaning it will be disabled by default until you enable it through My Shaw. Rogers can also enable it for you by calling in to technical support.
