iPhone 11 Pro Max Why is iPhone so terrible at spam callers?

[cuzo]

Tons of spam and these apps do nothing with the free version. My old androids where much better.

Whats a good one to fwt for under 3.00 a month?

Almost all the major US carriers have some kind of spam block app you can install. I think most are free with a paid tier for additional options. Or try NoMoRobo

If you let us know which carrier you're on, we can be more specific about the carrier options.

AT&T and T-Mobile both offer call blocking. I don't believe Verizon has such an app.

Verizon does too, it's called Call Filter..

Verizon does to, it's called Call Filter..

Is it a new app? When I had Verizon a few years ago, their app didn't actually block calls it just sent them to voicemail.

I have AT&T and even with their filter I have gotten breakthrough robo-calls.

I've had it for a couple years. It works fairly well.. They have a paid version that adds features but I haven't tried it..

T-Mobile's Scam Shield works well. Every once in a while I will get what is probably a robo call. I just block the number. If it tries to call me again, it gets disconnected before my phone even rings.

They do. It's called Verizon Call Filter in the app store.

I get a few every once and awhile also. Between silence unknown callers, call filter and blocking numbers my phone stays pretty silent..

My phone makes more noise with email than anything lol

 

[Aoligei]

LOL. There is no option for us to filter all phones comes from outside of the country. I am constantly getting robo call or one ring call from African countries.

I was forced to silence all unknown call, but I am ended up with missing important call from doctors office, client calls…

Android is offering much better way to managing income calls

I have the Verizon Call Filter app. It gives you an option between sending to voicemail or blocking the call at the network. I think blocking the call at the network is a relatively new feature.

Call Filter is what I had when I had Verizon. It didn't have the block option at the time. Good to see Verizon offers it.

I do that as well. It just the issue has gotten so out of hand that my blocked list is like 40+ numbers.

I wish the providers could offer a service to block all numbers from international switches. I do not expect any calls from outside of North America. Why can they not allow me to block any call coming through an international switch? If a company wants to use an Indian or Philippine call centre I should be able to block them. If you want to call me, do it from NA! Then at least our local fraud/DNC laws will apply
