How to block 16507464741

Heads up: this number doesn't match standard Australian formats and may be spoofed. Blocking it stops this caller ID, but a spoofer can switch to a different forged number tomorrow, so report it to Scamwatch as well.

  1. Open Phone → Recents.
  2. Tap the (i) icon next to 16507464741.
  3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Block this Caller.
  4. Confirm Block Contact.

Blocked calls go straight to voicemail and SMS from the same number is silently dropped.

Network & regulatory
  1. Most Australian carriers (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, TPG) can add nuisance numbers to a network-level block list. Call their support line and ask.
  2. NBN VoIP providers (Aussie Broadband, Superloop, MyRepublic, etc.) usually let you block per-number from your account portal.
  3. Register on the Do Not Call Register. Telemarketers are legally barred from calling registered numbers.
  4. Report scam calls to Scamwatch and the ACMA.

If 16507464741 claimed to be from your bank, the ATO or Australia Post, treat it as suspicious until you verify by calling the official number on that organisation's website.
