T-Mobile blocks a lot of spam callers, but they do not seem to block these spoofed caller ID calls.
Thankfully these spoofed calls are so easy to spot that they aren't even a real annoyance to me.
- DrScump 9y agoOn my T-Mobile GS7, most such callers are recognized and given a "Scam Likely" caller-id label.
- posguy 9y agoHow does the phone model even play into this? Odd of you to mention it.
- DrScump 9y agoIt doesn't occur on my GS5s.
- smudgymcscmudge 9y agoThe difference may be the t-mobile account instead of the phone. IIRC, they are rolling the "Scam Likely" feature out starting with t-mobile one plans.
- masonic 9y agoIn my case, all 5 phones are on the same plan and account.
- dave7 9y agoSame on my SIM-free GS7 in the UK. They (Samsung) appear to have some kind of crowdsourced database of spam callers in the default phone app (there is an option built in to report). It works amazingly well and was a surprise when I got this phone, coming from a Nexus 4. It seems to work very well indeed.
