AT&T Call Protect for Android
Great app! I used to pay 4.99 for AT&T Smart Limits and that app couldbt do half od what this Free app does!! It auto blocks Fraud calls and they never end up on your call log or ringing at all! It warns about numbers thay have been reported by other users and do much more! It has a clean design you can see your call log just as you have it including contact names and pictures. Also besides auto block you can add contacts or numbers you have blocked on your phone as well! Download and try this app you won't regret it! AT&T thanks for such an awesome free app!
Used to be great, but now it just says terms like 'fiancial services' instead of debt collector. I get calls all the time for people that used to have this number and now I have no way of knowing if it's something actually for me from a bank or credit company or a debt collector that I have to state for the 500th time that I'm not 'insert name here' and to leave me the hell alone.
Update: Two new stars for removing the 30 day auto removal of numbers. Thanks devs for listening!!! Ok. Could very much be improved. Doesn't block a broad enough description nor last long enough. Should definitely add blocking for text. Should add manual input of numbers. Should allow manual time limits as well. 30 days just doesn't cut it.
I love this app. It came with my new Samsung Galaxy s8 Plus and took the guess work out of what to install. Plus it works just great.It makes it so easy to block all those scammers and unwanted calls quickly and easily and with my new phone took the guess work out of what to download. This one works the Best by Far. Quickly Easily the jobs done. Five Stars.
Update: S7 not having the silent mode problem. I have been receiving calls that show auto blocked. This needs fixing. Caused my phone to randomly switch to silent mode And the contact email is an unmonitored email box! Bad AT&T not providing a legitimate feedback path
This app catches almost every call. You can never have an app that can catch every single call because of all the robo callers out there but being this is a first line of defense through AT&T it is phenomenal. Four numbers that are not known it will prompt you otherwise you'll see that it blocked calls without ringing your phone. The reporting is easy you just hit report and then put in any details that you feel are necessary to add it to their Global block list.
I have enjoyed the lack of crazy calls! Last few days the app will not open and show me who or when the calls are coming through, I have even uninstalled and re-installed it and I'm still struggling. I have told and added it to my families phones and they love it too.
It appeared to work at first but hasn't worked since. I've gotten several calls from random numbers and it hasn't blocked, flagged, or even tagged them as telemarketers. At this point the app is just taking up space. I will remove if it continues not to work.
I made a review and it got deleted. It would be better if this could tie into the national do not call registry and filed a complaint with the said registry automatically. It would also be helpful when making a report, see what other reports are on that number, if any. Then we'd know for sure if it's a scam number or not.
Works well, but would love to hide what form of call it is. A bit embarrassing when your phone is setting on a table and in big letter it reads "DEBT COLLECTOR" when you receive a call type like that. Maybe just block it? Or just say "FLAGGED CALL"...
I like the fact that it has caught a lot of the scammers and spammers that like calling my phone. It blocks them too which saves me the hassle of having to do it. There are some numbers that have managed to get by, but I am really liking it thus far
Another bloatware bs at&t worthless product. Doesn't work on a brand new $1,000 phone. At&t sucks, asnd most apps are just using us. Why should this app be different. The wireless phone companies could stop the to go calls, but it's too lucrative
It doesn't work at all I receive unwanted calls for a Walter Holmes all the time like all hours. Not to mention calls that use local numbers that are not local. I've called numbers back and get a business that was not who I just told that I was not interested in their service.
4 stars because it works but need to keep re-blocking numbers every 30 days. I hope the app would just keep blocking the calls until the number is removed from the list. Edit: 5 stars now since calls will be blocked until I take it off the list. Awesome!
I have Hiya and I luv it. Wish this app had the same function like Hiya does. For instance the pop up window before and after a call comes thru or ends. Other than that its a great concept just needs the options that the Hiya app has.
This app sucks! It has not automatically block a single fraudulent number! Even when I have manually blocked dozens of spam numbers. The app "Mr. Number" is light years ahead of this app!
It's an ok app. I get plenty of "telemarketer" "spam" and so called "debt collector" calls, I've blocked the actual calls and even wrote in the names, but I still receive these calls. These things should automatically be blocked.... Once it's fixed, I'll give a higher rating.
Works great but I have been receiving numerous false alarms. Today, I got a notification that I had 3 blocked calls, check my recent calls and the logs in the app, nothing. This happens every 2 to 3 days. Almost like it creates a false notification to remind me it is there. If they are real blocks, they should show up under blocked calls in the app.
I no longer receive as many calls from numbers I do not recognize. It lets me know when a number has been reported and some calls show up as telemarketers. Works well.
Hey compared to what we had before.... which was nothing,.... But it is a pain to have them become unblocked every 30 days! I Hey AT&T, want to explain that to us? If it's a law then we need to change the law!
Didn't work! Got the offer to download the app and then was told my number wouldn't work. AT&To doesn't treat their GoPhone users like their others. We are the step kids nobody talks about just because we can't afford contract phones!
I really can't give a review when it gives me an error everytime I try to set it up. I did everything correctly, yet it doesn't work. I'm going to give it a few more days to work itself out. If it doesn't, I'll get root command to have it removed,,, Wayne A Caddell Jr
Works perfect. Some people need to read all the instructions and not complain when it's actuly their fault lol. Swear to many people have phones now including way to many that don't know how to work them lol should have stayed super expensive maby then there wouldn't have been tons of dummies having then lol
This app is added protection that goes a long way. It is like an app antivirus for scam phone calls. Scam phone calls, botcalls and telemarketer calls are today's virus because they are so out of control.
I like this app but wish it had more automatic functions available instead of having to pull up and look at every single call to flag them. The people complaining about too many dummies having phones now should at least use spelling correction before posting their comments, their inability to spell causes their comments to show how much of a dummy they are themselves, not a good reflection on them.
Did not work on my new LG V20, said it was not elegible, see FAQ, but the FAQ had no further explanation. I get 10 times as many spam calls as real ones and AT&T does nothing for me. After 10 years on AT&T, time to look for better service. If there is none better, then cheaper. It hurts when I pay $150 to get spammed and $15 for real calls month after month.
It's okay. I get about 10 calls a day it block. I hope to God it lasts longer than 30 days, after reading some of the reviews. Should be permanent until we unblock them. Follow t-mobile and make something where it blocks the calls before even ringing in. Too many people fall for these scams. You could potentially save loves if your drastically improved on this.
The app is OK ar best. It does not pick up a lot of the spam or telemarketers calls. I manually block on the app. Biggest disappointment is it sends blocked calls to voice mail! How is that a true call blocking app?? It should just disconnect calls or even better, give "the number you have called is not in service" message, that would be call blocking!
This app is ok. It doesn't really block that many call though, which is a problem. It tells me that it is suspected spam or telemarketer but it still let's the call come through. I already know it's either spam or a telemarketer, what I want is for the call to be blocked all together. Instead I still have to go and manually block the number, which I can already do without this app. I wish that there was an option to block all suspected spam and telemarketer calls because the "block potential fraud" option maybe catches 1 in 20.
Fantastic!!! I didn't know if this would work but I was so tired of the telemarketers calling.. All day and night. I've had this downloaded for a few weeks and haven't gotten one of those calls since! It's caught them all. This is so worth it!!!
App is slow, doesn't block anything and they are very quick to delete reviews they don't like. Make your damn app work and you won't get negative reviews. Seriously, how long do I have to stare at a retrieving data sign...
Works like a charm. I had a number that wouldn't stop calling me no matter how many times I opted out of receiving the calls. So I downloaded this app and added it to the block list. After their calls were blocked several times, they finally stopped calling me altogether.
This app is almost worthless. Out of 65 spam calls only 4 were blocked from this app. It only blocks calls from a spam list they control, it does nothing for "spoofed" numbers which is what most scammers are using these days. I've called AT&T about this and I'm not sure they are taking it seriously. I'm considering switching to T-Mobile since they already have protection agenest spoofed calls which they block at the network level without even needing an app. I expect the same or better techonogly from AT&T.
It's blocking my unwanted calls. Thank goodness. Even when you ask these companies to take your name off their calling lists, they don't. I have even registered on donotcall.gov. This is helping me more.
I am SO happy this app is out there. This app has blocked so many potential scam and fake computer support calls.
App came installed on phone and makes me smile with every call it blocks. I've only been using it 2 days but so far lovin' it
Blocks calls perfectly, however robo dialers now think my number is unassigned so it spoofs my number and uses it when making spam/scam calls. I have been receiving calls from random people telling me that they are returning a call they had missed from me. Block the call and the scammers think it's unassigned, so they add it to their database to use as another spoofed number to call people with. Don't block it and the calls come in at all hours non stop. Awesome
This app works perfectly! I like that the auto blocked numbers never even make my phone ring. Even unwanted political calls are blocked. It is easy to look at the call log in the app and verify that the numbers that have been automatically blocked are really unwanted calls. I like that the app notifies you when a call has been blocked making it easy to verify that the call was unwanted.
Great app. Works almost as well as the spam caller ID from Google. I wish it would just send the spam calls into the abyss automatically, but at least I know not to pick up and that's a life saver.
