AT&T will enable free automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam-call alerts to all mobile lines by default over the coming months. It will be applied to all new lines going forward, and to existing lines "over the coming months". The features have been available since last year as an option. Last month the FCC issued a ruling allowing companies to opt customers into such tools by default, and now AT&T is doing just that. Existing customers can get the features today by downloading AT&T Call Protect or turning it on in myAT&T account settings.
