Enroll today and start answering with confidence.



Key Features:

• Get real-time alerts on your incoming call screen so you can better avoid spam calls

• Automatically send spam callers to voicemail with the spam filter

• Report a number as spam so you can help improve our algorithm

• Block calls from phone numbers similar to your own or from a specific NPA-NXX

• Manage other unwanted calls with a personal block list

• Block all incoming calls from international numbers

• Search our spam database to see if a number has already been identified as spam

• Identify unknown numbers by name on the incoming call screen, call log and eligible messaging apps, even if the caller is not saved to your contacts

this feature works perfectly! thank you Verizon! Update: a year after using the app, it didn't seem to catch as many scam calls as it used to. So I tried the paid app for 3.99 a month. It's better but there is an annoying quirk. Call that have been blocked don't get thru but I get a notification with sound on top of whatever I'm doing. Why??? If I've blocked the number, why would I care if they keep calling ? As far as I'm concerned, I don't even want them sent to voice-mail. 3/23. No good.

This is useless unless you upgrade to plus. I'm trying to save expenses in this horrible time of inflation so I elected to take the "cheaper" Verizon plan which saves me about $20 a month and it includes basic call filter that does nothing! It appears to me that there is nothing to troubleshoot, when I changed plans I started getting Spam calls. Apparently "basic call filter" only ID's caller info but does not block any of the categories of spam calls that I used to have!

Well this app hasn't blocked a single call in the last 3 months and was 20% block to 80% allow the previous 3 months. The 3 months b4 was maybe 50/50. Verizon's servers know where the spam comes from but allows the spoofed caller ID to go through because they make money on the call into their servers and out to you. Find something else. 03/01/2024 Update: works much better. They've done a lot of upgrades to the functionality and the ability to block real spam
