About this app

Your phone is your door to the world, and you shouldn't open it for just anyone. With Call Filter, you can screen incoming calls, auto-block spam and report any unwanted numbers. 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

• Seamlessly update your contacts with newly identified numbers

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. Data charges apply.

Verizon's Call Filter App requires a Verizon standard monthly account on an eligible device.

This app sucks. Brain-dead design, at best. Why ask for the caller details and description if you are only going to allow a handful of characters for the name & description fields!?!? This isn't remotely enough to make the feedback valuable, let alone then wasting my time trying to use shorthand just to fit into this app's free text fields. Ultimately, I'm not convinced there's any value in taking the time to report these #s, as I do not believe anything useful is done with the feedback.

It's a terrible app, along with the Verizon message app. I'm now using Google messages and Google phone. The Verizon call filter app provides insufficient options for spam and blocking calls and texts. Every time I'd block a number, the same caller would use a different number to call from. Google phone and message apps have solved my problems with the numerous spam messages and calls. I'm escaping Verizon mobile when the opportunity arrives.

update : some stupid idiot used my number for a car search and now I'm getting bombarded with voicemail from dealerships. The option to block them from voicemail isn't working. It's better than it was with the new layout but still needs a lot of work. I wish there was better call data. At least this time it's actually blocking calls. As of last month I am getting bombarded with spam texts and this filter has no way of blocking them. I am paying for the full version.
