Number Shield

For years I’ve fought with AT&T and spam callers from one area code. This solved it. Just today it blocked over 30 spam calls.

App keeps crashing, won’t load numbers. The FAQ page refuses to load. I contacted customer support, but they don’t reply back. Looks like I got ripped off, nothing else I can do except leave a 1-star review.

It works

This app lets me do what Verizon refuses to: block specific area codes that i get 10+ spam calls a day from. Verizon wants me to pay an additionally monthly fee to block just 10 "neighborhood codes"(the first 6 digits). Number shield just let me 6 area codes i get all my spam from. Number shied let me block 6+ million numbers for a one time payment of 2.99! Verizon wanted me to pay 3.99 A MONTH to block just 10 neighborhood codes(6 digits) thus only 100,000 numbers. Number shield is doing what verizon refuses to. This service should be provided by verizon for FREE but i had to find a third party app to handle this. Thank you for this great, fairly one-time-prices app. 10/10 amazing

So this may sound bad, but I have only had 23 spam calls for the first 20 days of May, but that is down from over 60 a month. I usually get 2-3 a day from similar exchanges. Now I block them and my spam calls are a third of what they used to be. International spam has completely stopped. Great program. UPDATE: I have been using this app for years. I don’t get nearly as many spam calls as I used to. However, my spam text messages have skyrocketed. When there is a pattern, I have started blocking the exchanges for spam texts and those are dropping. The only problem is that spammers are constantly changing numbers. I’m still happy with the results.

So nice to block the political ads!

Feels useless as what I want is an app that stops robo calls from clogging my voice mail. This stops the ring, but send to voice mail. Waste of money.

Works reasonably well but there are still calls coming through. Seems to be the only blocker that gives you the option of using a wildcard option but as I mentioned, calls are still managing to get through. I would say nuisance calls have been reduced but about 50%.

Would have loved this to help but just like other ones it does not. I still constantly get calls everyday from numbers inside the range of numbers I block. It didn’t block anything at all. I don’t know what the other people are talking about because nothing has changed and I have many ranges of numbers input in the block section. Don’t waste your money.

App consistently crashes when uploading bulk spam numbers. I’m assuming this is because they limit the quantity of numbers you can block. Very disappointing and a waste of money.

If a number is blocked on your iPhone, you also have to set it up on your connected iPad, etc. otherwise it just rings on your iPad…

This app does not block calls. It just sends them to voicemail which you can do simply by setting your phone to send an identified caller to voicemail. It’s not helping at all.
