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

Eligible customers get a 15-day trial of Call Filter Plus. Customers can choose to enroll in Call Filter to get the basics (spam detection, blocking and reporting) for free, or subscribe to Call Filter Plus for all that and more for $3.99 per month, per line. Accounts with 3 or more eligible lines can subscribe to Call Filter Plus (Multi-line) for $10.99/month by logging in to My Verizon. If you choose to enroll in Call Filter or Call Filter Plus, the spam filter will be automatically set to block high-risk spam callers, but you can change your block settings at any time.

It's not very effective. Most of the spam calls I get are not classified with any threat level and so are not blocked. But recently it blocked a call from my doctor's office even though that number is in my contacts. The paid version is not a significant improvement over the free version. Free version might be better than nothing. I feel providers could do more to block these calls at the network level if they wanted to... block all telecom from countries with scam farms.

This app does not work. I receive close to 5 or 10 spam calls a day. It is hit or miss if this app will block the call or just dump it to my voicemail so that I have to manually delete it. The app crashes constantly and asks to check my account. When i am paying money for the "plus" version with such limited options, this is unacceptable. I have decided to forward all my calls through Google voice "a free app" because it has better spam filtering.

The app is constantly checking my account status now. I've been having this issue off and on until the most recent update. Now I can't report or block anything. Every number I have blocked is still able to text or call me. Half the time the texts come through my regular message folder instead of going to the blocked folder. Blocking certain area codes doesn't work either. I actually started getting more spam the more I reported in this app which makes me wonder what's really going on...
