Call Restriction

What is Call Restriction?

Call Restriction is a feature in telephony that allows phone users or service providers to restrict certain types of outgoing calls or incoming calls.

Call restriction is typically used as a security measure to prevent unauthorized or costly phone use. There are various types of call restrictions that can be applied, including: Outgoing call restrictions: This type of restriction prevents outgoing calls to specific phone numbers, such as international or premium rate numbers, or numbers that have been blocked by the phone user or service provider. Incoming call restrictions: This type of restriction blocks incoming calls from specific phone numbers, such as those associated with telemarketing or spam calls. Time-based call restrictions: This type of restriction limits phone usage during certain times of day or days of the week, such as during off-hours or weekends. Call restriction features are commonly found in landline and mobile phone plans and can be managed through phone settings or the phone service provider's website or customer service. It's important to note that call restrictions may vary depending on the phone plan or service provider and may involve additional fees or charges.
