How to block 461960196

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.

On iPhone

  1. Open PhoneRecents.
  2. Tap the (i) icon next to 461960196.
  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.

On Android

  1. Open PhoneRecents.
  2. Long-press 461960196 (or tap it and choose Details).
  3. Choose Block / report spam.
  4. Confirm Block.

Wording varies between Samsung One UI, Google Pixel and Xiaomi MIUI, but every modern Android dialler has the option under the recent call's menu.

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 461960196 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.
