Phone calls aren’t as easy as they used to be, and now anyone can be blocked by a gatekeeper at the phone. What’s going on? Pickr joins the ABC to explain.
Making calls sure isn’t what it used to be. These days, a call you make might land at the pick up you expected, but it also might just be sent to call screening, thank in part to new features phones now offer.

Pickr’s Leigh Stark joins ABC’s Statewide WA Drive program on February 13, 2026 to talk about call screening and who it might benefit, plus what scammers do when they encounter it. Listen to the segment from around the 22 minute mark (21.45) until it’s taken down, usually a week or two later.
