What is call barring and how to activate it?

Call barring is a telecom feature that lets you block certain incoming or outgoing calls. It’s useful for avoiding unwanted calls, preventing accidental international dialling, or controlling costs. On Yomojo (an Australian mobile provider), you can activate call barring through your phone’s settings or by contacting Yomojo support, as they operate on the Optus network which supports these features.
