Check your phone
Some phone manufacturers currently offer integrated alerts for users to check if their phones have this mode. For example, Samsung S7 and Note 8 devices have intelligent call modes that indicate automated or scam calls. Google’s spam blocker will appear on the Pixel phone screen with a red alert. If you don’t have a Pixel phone, you can still download the Google Phone app for Android.
Check your provider
Service providers or major telecommunications companies all have their own apps to stop spam calls, for example, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint… that you should also check out. AT&T has the Call Protect app that can automatically block suspicious calls. Verizon’s Caller Name ID will provide a warning before you answer. T-Mobile’s Scam Block will automatically block known scam calls without any additional settings. Sprint’s Premium Caller ID allows you to register your name and provides a service to identify the true caller.
Download apps
Apps like Nomorobo, Truecaller, Hiya, RoboKiller, and YouMail can eliminate automated calls. Nomorobo will filter out scam calls while YouMail notifies scammers or annoying callers that your number is no longer in service. Most of these apps are free for at least one week, after which you will have to pay a fee to continue using them.
