Or, upgrade to Call Filter Plus with Caller ID for added security. Put a name to the unknown numbers, make your own personal block list, and even assess the risk level of incoming calls. 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
• See each spam call’s level of risk so that you can learn more about the caller

• 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

The app doesn't work. It just says it's checking account status forever. Also, this app allows some spam to come through. Some loan company kept calling for someone whom I've never heard of, and they refused to remove my number. i tried reporting them and blocking them but still received their spam voicemails. I'm not emailing you to "troubleshoot" the issue. It was working fine, so I doubt it's a setup issue. Perhaps the people you pay to keep your apps functioning could look into it.

This app has worked great until 2 days ago. Now when I click on a number to block it, I get a message saying "checking account status". I have left it loading for 30 minutes and nothing happens. I can't even close the app out or back out. I have to pull up my open apps and close it from there. Please fix this as I am getting bombarded with spam calls that I am unable to block.

This app completely defeats the purpose of blocking calls because instead of stopping unwanted callers, it just shifts the problem to voicemail. Blocked numbers still leave messages, so I end up wasting time deleting voicemails rather than preventing the calls in the first place. On top of that, the settings are grayed out almost all the time, the app is sluggish, and reinstalling doesn’t fix anything. Very frustrating and not effective as a true call blocker.
