Unmasking blocked callers with Privacy Guard eliminates one of the nasty tricks (i.e., staying anonymous!) that telemarketers, spammers, debt collectors, and scammers use to try to bother you. Privacy Guard examines the incoming caller ID and requires callers where the caller ID is blocked or unknown to enter their number. Yet, Privacy Guard also lets legitimate callers get through, such as those calling from a foreign country.

How privacy guard works

Whenever a caller with a "Blocked" or "Unknown" caller ID contacts you, let it go to YouMail and Privacy Guard will require the caller to enter in their phone number to identify themselves to be able to leave you a voicemail. Telemarketers won't want to identify their phone number and robocallers can't type in their phone number so you will only have messages from legitimate callers!

Blocked or unknown calls are usually bad news. And no one likes wasting time with telemarketers and spammers. So why waste time and energy listening to their voicemails? Prevent clogging up your inbox with Privacy Guard – and automatically force blocked callers to unblock their number (or enter it) to get through.

Frequently asked questions

Caller ID is great, but it often shows unknown or blocked when callers hide their identity or their caller ID gets lost as the call moves from carrier to carrier. Think of Privacy Guard as a supplement for caller ID that captures the caller ID for anyone trying to leave a voicemail. YouMail uses caller ID to automatically block calls from known scammers but others hide their identity with an "Unknown" or "Blocked" caller ID. That's where YouMail Privacy Guard steps in. Privacy Guard forces "Unknown" or "Blocked" callers to identify themselves before they can leave you a message. Since scammers won't identify their number, you'll only get messages from legitimate callers.

Make unknown and blocked callers identify themselves to leave messages.
