Call Protect is a free spam call blocker and automatic Caller ID tool for your phone that protects you against new telemarketers, robo-callers, scammers, surveys, spammers, and other unwanted callers. With Call Protect, you can have a peace of mind while it works for you to reduce the number of unsolicited phone calls you receive.
Call Protect maintains the latest list of active spam and robo callers. This list is monitored and updated in real-time. When you activate the Call Protect extension, the list of suspicious phone numbers is periodically updated on your device. Other numbers, which may potentially be harmful, but have not been identified as such with full confidence yet, are added onto your phone with their caller ID information containing a warning. This will alert you when you receive those calls.
Beside Call Blocking and automatic Caller ID, this app also offers a Caller ID lookup service. You may use this service to perform a free reverse phone lookup on any number from the US and Canada. This lookup service usually retrieves name to help you identify the caller. After identifying a caller, you have options to call, message, or block the number. You can also add it to your contacts directly from within the app.
Some useful features:
- Automatic spam call blocker
- Caller ID information on risky numbers
- Reverse phone lookup utility
- Manually block a range of phone numbers
The use of Call Protect will certainly reduce the unwanted calls you receive. It will also alert you when a potentially harmful phone number calls your phone.
