Verizon branded apps have limited functionality in unlocked phones. In this case, the call filter app does not work at all. I have unlocked "Samsung Z Fold 6", and it says that my phone is not compatible with this Verizon app. Called their technical support, and the guy who I spoke to, seemed absolutely incompetent.

Best Service There is! They are patient, friendly, and knowledgeable as a whole! I am very impressed with my wireless service and addition amenities my plan offers! Veries from plan to plan and all are exceptional. i have continued to ask about ways to better my wireless plan, and there are always options to make it fit for me, personally! I have tried other companies, and it just didnt feelcomfortable or affordable. I am pleased with the way Verizon & all who stand by them keep up the spirit!☺️

Blocks a call I just called! It also only allows 5 calls on the allows list without paying! I literally had to disable the app to recieve calls from an 800 number! Response to verizon response- Can't troubleshoot forcing people to pay to allows more than 5 phone numbers. That's a policy change. And a bad policy at that. There are other features you can charge for then allowing calls the customer uses and vets that's not spam.
