Arysyn Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I would be cool if Sprint got this feature: http://about.att.com/story/att_call_protect.html Neat feature I'll be adding to my smartphone since I have AT&T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swintec Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Sprint does have this, but it is only available on the Bolt right now. I didnt bother to add it though but at least they say it is coming for more devices "soon"...plus it cosrts a bit extra, $2.99..dunno if it is any better than AT&Ts implementation. I also wonder if it will work if you are not connected to LTE.

Sprke Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Wouldn't you have to have simultaneous voice and data for these services to work? Or is Sprint checking the number on a network level before it rings your phone? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible the appropriate info is being passed during call set up as the call rings (or maybe right before it) which is why i wonder if one needs to be on LTE for it to work. If so, I am on eHRPD to much to be really valuable to me at this point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv1 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Or you can get the Mr. Number app in Playstore, which works great detecting, and blocking spam calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
