Set up block list and star name list

Block list
Add numbers that you want to prevent their calls from ringing through.
Cell calls with numbers that have been added to your block list will also
be blocked.
Star name list
Add caller names to your star name list to allow their calls to get through
to you without having to go through the screening process.
There are many organizations like schools, medical offices, and
pharmacies that use robocalls to communicate important information to
you. Robocalls uses an autodialer to deliver pre-recorded messsages. By
entering the EXACT Caller ID (CID)'s name of the organizations into the
Star name list, it ensures these calls will ring through when you only know
the caller names but not their numbers.
