ADVANCED NETWORK TECHNOLOGY
Our supercharged network analyzes every call using A.I., machine learning, and patented technologies. And our defenses update every six minutes to stay ahead of scammers.
BUILT-IN PROTECTION
Americans deal with billions of scam and robocalls every year. Our Scam ID and Scam Block technologies help identify and stop them before they ever reach your phone.

• Caller ID – See who’s calling before you answer.
• Allow list – Calls from numbers on your Allow list will never be blocked by our network and always ring your phone.
• Verified Business Calls – When available, verified caller information from trusted businesses and why they’re calling will show on the incoming call.

• Personal Number Blocking – Block specific numbers and contacts as soon as they hit the T-Mobile network.
• Category Manager – Tired of telemarketers? Or survey calls? Scam Shield gives you control over what types of calls are allowed to ring your phone.
• Reverse Number Lookup – Not sure who a number belongs to? We’ll do a reverse phone number lookup and show you anything we can about who is calling.
• Voicemail to Text - Get text messages containing readouts of blocked calls that were sent to voicemail.

Been working great. Hardly get spam now or unsolicited calls. Update: Barely two scam calls a week now. A problem though now. I have a contact that I set to go to voicemail. I want to allow his calls. When clicking 'allow' nothing happens. Click send to vm hoping to undo the setting and I get 'Looks like we are having trouble connecting. Please try again'. Am currently talking to a rep hoping for a fix. Update: All is well now. It is not an instant change when clicking. Love this app!

Update 4/27/24- 3rd review. I get so many scam calls that I can't even answer my phone anymore unless I know the number. Nothing is being blocked. Caller ID never shows a name, and nothing goes to voicemail. I never had this problem until t-mobile. I give up. Time to change. This is my 2nd review, and I am hoping for answers. I have the premium scam shield, and nothing is premium. Calls are still not updating days later, calls are not getting blocked, and caller ID on but doesn't work at all.

6-23-23/Who calls 13 times back to back and doesn't leave a voice message even once? Scam Shield knows. UPDATE 4-29-24/I don't know what is happening with the phones of the folks who are fussing (I'm being polite here) about this app. I've had it for 2 & a half years & it does a FANTASTIC job blocking spam calls, providing caller's names, & never even once has it blocked anyone in my contacts. It even verifies the number is not spoofed. And it shows location call is coming from. For FREE!!!
