How to Disable Call Intercept in Verizon

Enable or disable call intercept by contacting the provider company.

Call intercept allows you to manage your calls by screening those you can't identify, calls from private and anonymous numbers and calls from outside your service area. Telephone companies provide the feature as an extra service to customers with caller ID. This service costs extra, and you can disable or enable it by contacting your provider.

Instructions

1. Call Verizon Advance Services at 1-800-527-7070. In addition to turning Call Intercept on or off, Verizon customers can manage their settings to provide an override code to friends and family members to bypass the intercept.

2. Enter your 10-digit telephone number when prompted by the automated voice machine.

3. Follow the prompts given by the automated machine. When asked, select the option to manage your Call Intercept options.
