This is a very helpful app it really helps to reduce scam calls and unwanted calls. The more we use it and block unwanted calls, the better it gets, so let's work together and report these unwanted calls. T-Mobile is good because they offer this for free, whereas AT&T, and other carriers charge more for it. Like I said, the more we use it to report scam calls, the better it works.

I love the voice to text transcription for voicemails. Easy to use and you choose where you want to receive your voicemails - in your Email, your Messages App or the Scam Shield App with Premium Service. set On. Only thing is after paying my phone bill, my Premium Service sometimes needs to be turned back on. Transcriptions may not work until you check all line settings. Or sign into Tmobile account manually. If that doesn't resolve the issues, call support.

This app works reasonably well. Not anywhere near 100% effective. The app would be much more effective if it blocked all numbers that carry no name identity. Then, reporting numbers is slow and cumbersome. Reporting is often slow, or fails completely. If this feature was not included in my plan. I would NOT endorse paying for it!
