How to Convert Call Screening On Your iPhone

1. Touch Settings.
2. Touch Apps close to the bottom of the menu.
3. Touch Telephone.

Within the Section screen, unknown callers will see three options: Never, do not place the reason for calling and silence. Here’s what you should know about each of these options and that is right for most people.

Which screening option do you need to choose?

The selection never exists the default option and allows calls from unprepared numbers passing and ringing on your phone. It is also a document missed call in your list for some giving in your phone application, just like before screening calls.

If you touch the reason for calling, your iPhone will ask anyone who calls you without the unprepared number why they call you without ringing to your iPhone. After the caller answers a few questions, your iPhone will let you know with the caller’s response transcript. Then you can decide whether you want to answer the call or not.

You can also select silence, which is a nuclear option for phone calls. Any unsaved numbers calling you will be tucked and sent to voicemail, questions are asked.

The question of reason for calling is the best option for most people who want to show calls. I chose it, and when he informed me when the fraud responded to some questions, which rarely did me, and they informed me when my medical office invited to cross some test results. If I had chosen silence, I would miss the medical office (and choosing would never mean checking every call that I expected something important).

If you select a reason to set up and dislike it, you can always re-follow the above steps and select one of the other options. And remember, you can always silence the iPhone and you must not torture it by phone calls. My wife didn’t turn off the phone in months, and she remains blissful unsafe spam.
