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.

Whatever update was done, the call filter is not working properly. It keeps stating that it is unable to connect to the server. I have to force a shutdown of the app and open it again. Then it keeps saying "checking account status...". This app was working fine previously. Please resolve the issue. Thank you.

this app doesn't filter calls. honestly, it hasn't in months. why we would trust Verizon to do this is beyond me. utter trash app and should be uninstalled. since you, app maker, responded. let me make it clear: app worked fine for years. then you changed to charge for it and I was like... this shouldn't need a charge; company with more money than small countries! so I went with the free version. spam calls flooded in with no muting. luckily I know how to block them now on my own. keep your one

Blocks calls I want to get and lets through ones I don't. I also don't recall installing or enabling it (must have been an auto install, like the stupid games that pop up every update) but suddenly, calls from contacts in my phone - PEOPLE I WANT TO HEAR FROM - started being sent straight to voicemail or blocked without the opportunity to leave a message. I disabled the app since I can't remove it. I'll find a better one that doesn't block calls I want on my own, thanks.
