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!
