  4. Under Calls, select Contacts only
  5. Turn OFF: Repeat callers (sometimes labeled “Allow repeated callers”)
  6. Tap Messages under Exceptions, then select Contacts only
  7. (Some Android skins): Go back, tap Apps, and ensure Phone and Messages are listed as exceptions
  8. Swipe down from the top of your screen to open Quick Settings, then tap the Do Not Disturb icon to enable it

Step 2: Disable Live Voicemail

  1. Open the Phone app
  2. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) → Settings → Voicemail (or Call Screen & Voicemail)
  3. Tap Live Voicemail → switch it OFF

Step 3: Activate Your Secretary

Open the Phone app → Keypad
Dial each code below, replacing XXXXXXXXXX with your secretary’s 10-digit number from your onboarding email, then press Call:

*61*1XXXXXXXXXX#

*67*1XXXXXXXXXX#

✅ After each code, you should see Activation Successful.

Done!

All unknown calls will now go through your Scam Defense secretary, and voicemails will arrive via email.
