Today, AT&T launches AT&T Call Protect. The free network-based service gives eligible AT&T wireless customers with HD Voice more control over unwanted calls on their smartphones.
This innovative solution harnesses the power of the AT&T network to give customers automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam call warnings.
Sounds like a great idea, but I was under the impression that many of the spam calls cycle through numbers endlessly. That could be a long cat and mouse game, but hopefully with technology, they can curb a lot of it.
Yeah they constantly spoof numbers, I even got a call one day from my own number which was creepy. I just don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t know. I’ll copy/paste them into Safari and usually end up adding them to my Junk contact which is blocked. Tip: if you add numbers to a blocked contact you have to unblock it and block it again or the new numbers will ring through if they call back.
