Every so often a number turns into a nuisance: a spammer, a time-waster, someone you’d simply rather not hear from. Blocking them stops that number from calling or texting any of your numbers, so they can’t get through at all.
From a conversation
The quickest way is straight from the chat:
- Open the chat and click the ⋮ at the top (or right-click the conversation in the list).
- Choose Block, followed by the person’s name or number.
- Dialbird checks first with Block [number]?, explaining it will stop all their messages and calls. Click Block to confirm.
Their conversation then shows a red Blocked label at the top and a red icon in the list, and they can’t reach you any more.
To let someone back through, open the same menu and choose Unblock. That takes effect straight away, with no confirmation.
From Settings
You can also manage blocked numbers under Settings, then Blocklist. That’s where you’ll find everyone you’ve blocked, and where you can Unblock them or block a new number by typing it in.
See Blocklist for more.
Blocking works across your whole workspace. A blocked number can’t reach any of your inboxes, or anyone on your team.
