Dialing #662# turns on T-Mobile's Scam Block feature, which automatically blocks calls identified as potential scams before they reach your phone.

No Ring: Blocked scam calls will not ring your phone or show up in your standard call log.
Compatibility: This shortcode works for T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers.

Managing the Feature

To turn it on: Open your phone's dialer, enter #662#, and press the call button.
To turn it off: Dial #632# if you want to disable Scam Block.
To check status: Dial #787# (#STS#) to see if the feature is currently active.
