The free version of Call Filter will get you spam detection, a spam filter and the ability to report numbers.
After it is installed and opened, tap"account,""subscription status" and then"subscribe" to enroll it for your Android phone. iPhone users need to simply open the app, tap"get Call Filter" and then"tap subscribe" to set up the service for their phones.
An alert will be given when the incoming call is likely to be spam. Verizon will let you determine your level of risk to help the network block calls for you automatically, sending them straight to voicemail. While it begins rolling out the free version today, Verizon says it will take about three weeks before it will become widely available. You don't need to have an unlimited plan to sign up, but it won't currently work with a Verizon prepaid plan.
The service will also work with basic phones plus older BlackBerrys and Windows Phones if you still have them, though certain features will vary. To set up those devices either call Verizon, head into a store or log into your"My Verizon" account on the company's website.The $2.99 version of"Call Filter" will still exist. Those who opt to pay for it will also gain Caller ID to identify the names of unknown callers, plus the ability to create personal spam and block lists.
You also get a"robocall risk meter"-- that ranks spam calls on a"high,""medium,""low" scale on your call screen based on their risk for fraud level-- and the ability to look up spam numbers.
