How to Opt Out of Gemini Automated Phone Calls

Block Gemini Call for Me and other automated Gemini calls with Google’s official opt-out page, then review Pixel 11 caller rules.

September 27, 2026 Yum News

Gemini can now place real phone calls from a Pixel 11. Google calls the consumer feature Call for Me. The assistant uses your mobile number, discloses that it is an AI on a recorded line, and talks to a US business on your behalf.

If you run a shop, share a family line, or simply do not want an AI on the other end, Google also published a block list. This guide follows Gemini Apps Help and the official opt-out page so you can stop incoming agent calls, or place one yourself with the documented limits.

What Call for Me is allowed to do

Gemini Apps Help says the mobile app can call businesses to:

Get hours, stock, service quotes, and similar facts.
Book, confirm, or manage appointments and reservations.
Work through phone menus and wait on hold.

Google is rolling the feature out. It may be missing on your account even if you meet every rule below.

Eligibility, as listed in Help on 27 September 2026:

You are 18 or over and in the United States.
You use a Pixel 11 with a US SIM card.
You are signed in to the Gemini mobile app.
You have a Google AI subscription.
You installed the Public Beta of Phone by Google and the latest Gemini app.
Device language is English.

Calls go out on your carrier plan. Standard rates apply. Gemini can only dial US numbers for now.

Block incoming Gemini calls

You do not need a Pixel 11 to refuse these calls. Help points to a dedicated page: g.co/gemini/opt-out (hosted at android.com/ai/gemini/calling-opt-out).

Open the opt-out page on a phone or computer.
Enter the number that should stop receiving automated Gemini calls.
Verify it with the 6-digit code Google sends by SMS (or request a voice code).
Confirm the number is Not on block list, then tap Opt out.
Wait for the confirmation that the number is on the block list.

Google’s copy on that page is plain: once you opt out, the number is added to a block list and will no longer receive automated calls from Gemini. Opt in on the same page if you later want those calls again.

This list is about incoming agent calls to your line. It does not cancel Call for Me on someone else’s Pixel. It also does not replace carrier spam filters or Pixel Call Screen.

Place a Call for Me request (if you are eligible)

Open the Gemini app on the Pixel 11.
Ask it to make the call. You can add @Call for me in the prompt.
Be specific. Help’s examples:
- Call [Restaurant Name] and book a table for two at 7 PM tomorrow.
- Ask the dry cleaner on Main Street how much they charge to hem pants.
Read the summary: number, name, and other details Gemini plans to share.
Edit the task if anything is wrong.
Tap Call for me only after that review.

Gemini introduces itself as a Google AI assistant calling on a recorded line, and states your name. You accept the Google Terms of Service, the Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy, and the Gemini Apps Agentic Calling Additional Terms when you use the feature.

During the call:

Cancel before it connects if you change your mind.
Follow the live transcript. Your mic stays muted by default.
Tap Audio to listen or mute the live audio.
Tap Take over to unmute yourself. Gemini announces the handoff and leaves.

Afterward, a notification lets you View results in Gemini. The Phone app keeps the transcript and recording in call history. Rate the chat with thumbs up or down. Phone by Google may also show a survey.

Google sets a daily cap. Help does not publish the number. If you hit the cap, wait until the next day.

Hard limits Google documents

Gemini Apps will not:

Call emergency services such as 911.
Complete payments or share card numbers and other financial secrets over the phone.
Relay Social Security numbers, passwords, or health details.
Place telemarketing calls to sell products or services.

Treat those as product rules, not suggestions. If a task needs a card number or a medical fact, place the call yourself.

Data handling for agentic calling is covered in the Gemini Apps Privacy Hub. Read that page before you let Gemini speak your name to a business.

How this differs from older Pixel call tools

Call Screen, Hold for Me, and Direct My Call still live in Phone by Google. Those tools help you after you already dialed, or they intercept an inbound ring.

Call for Me starts from the Gemini app and talks without you on the mic. That is why Google added a public opt-out list. A salon or clinic that never asked for AI callers can block the number path without changing every Pixel in the country.

If you already connect Gmail or Calendar to Gemini for other work, keep those toggles separate. Connected Apps do not grant Call for Me. Setup for those connectors is in How to Connect Apps to Gemini in 2026.

Practical tips

Put the business number in the prompt. Do not make Gemini guess which “Main Street cleaner” you meant.
Name backup times (“if 7 PM is full, try 7:30”) so the agent does not invent a slot.
Stay nearby for the first few calls. Take over if the other party asks a question Gemini should not answer.
Review the recording in Phone before you treat the summary as a confirmed booking.
Opt out work and home lines that should never hear an agent, even if you use Call for Me on a personal Pixel.

Conclusion

Call for Me is a US Pixel 11 beta with a paid plan, an English device, and the Phone by Google public beta. Google discloses the AI on every call and blocks emergency, payment, and telemarketing use.

If you do not want those calls on your own number, verify it at g.co/gemini/opt-out and stay on the block list. If you do want the assistant to dial a restaurant, write a tight prompt, read the pre-call summary, and keep Take over one tap away.
