Newer higher security for spam calls

I thought that I had received an email not that long ago from Xfinity saying that they have some new measures on blocking spam telephone calls.  I can't seem to find that email now.  Anyway, for the past 2 days I have been trying to log on to one of my websites that has 2nd or maybe it is 3rd, party verification and will call me and give me a code to enter.  My phone never rings yet it goes to voice mail and there is no message or code left.  I am thinking that the new spam measures are considering this call spam.  How can I fix this so I can get these verification calls that I need?

I figured it out.  When the call came to give me the code to put in, the spam filter was considering it low risk, and on a couple of tries, medium risk spam and then it was automatically sent to VM.  I just went in and changed my settings.  I don't know how much hair I pulled out trying to figure it all out.

margene1636 Thank you for the update, I am glad to hear you were able to get that setting adjusted. O was going to recommend our Spam blocker setting page to help, but it looks like you found it!

Hi there, user_utqu4u! These would be the Spam Blocker Settings. You can choose different options for low, medium, and high risk calls. You can allow, filter, send to voicemail, or block each category.

1. Sign in to Xfinity Voice using your Xfinity ID and password.
2. Click the Settings (wheel) settings wheel icon icon in the upper-right corner and select Settings to see your voice preferences.
3. Select Call Blocking.
4. Adjust Spam Blocker settings accordingly.
