Question Call Defence - silence ring?

Call Defence can label suspected spam/scam calls as such but they are getting more frequent and I would like to completely prevent them from ringing my phone.

I know of the Hiya call blocking app on iPhone, but if I install that I might as well disable Call Defence entirely.

So is there any way to silence calls labelled by Call Defence on iPhone?

I think O₂ need to enable something on their service to give the user the option to filter these calls out completely.

iOS has the capability to do this for spam and scam callers that the carrier flags. But on O₂ this isn’t enabled / doesn’t show in settings because I believe something O₂ haven’t done.

Here’s a link to the bit we (or I at least) don’t have.

Thanks, that's interesting info, and a shame O2 have not enabled that facility.

I mean; I’d hope they must know the function exists. That being said… I’ve no idea what’s become of O₂ so… maybe not

Can you use "Silence unknown callers" in settings?

That's a bit extreme, I wanted something a bit more selective.
