You can activate the additional option either in the Telekom Shop or by calling 0800 33 01000 free of charge.
- Arcor: You can also block phone numbers with Arcor. You can set which numbers are affected and which exceptions you want to determine online in your account.
- Unitymedia: With Unitymedia you can set up a lock completely free of charge and deactivate it again at any time. To do this, call 0800/700 11 77 free of charge from the Unitymedia network.
- 1 & 1: With 1 & 1, you can activate it straight away via the 1 & 1 Control Center. In the "Telephony" area, you can manage the unwanted phone numbers.
- In addition to the providers mentioned, many other companies also have comparable packages to choose from. It is best to look at the corresponding homepage, in the FAQ or in the terms and conditions of the respective provider.
