Robocall Blocker

About this app

No one enjoys getting spam calls or texts, and unfortunately, they can do more than just disrupt your peace. If you engage in a robocall from a scammer, your finances and identity could be at risk.

With Robocall Blocker, you have an extra layer of protection between you and unknown and unwanted outreach. Here’s how it works:

AUTOMATIC CALL SCREENING

When an unknown caller rings your line, Robocall Blocker will ask the caller to state their name and the call’s purpose. You’ll listen to the brief message and either accept the call, reject it, or send it to voicemail. Then, you can choose to block that number or add it to your contacts. Robocall Blocker also cross-references the incoming number against its global database of millions of scam phone numbers and screens the caller’s dialogue for common scamming terms and language patterns.

SMS PROTECTION

For even greater phone protection, Robocall Blocker can block spam texts as well. When SMS protection is enabled, Robocall Blocker can analyze text messages from unknown senders and check the number against a robocaller database, as well as URLs in the body of the message against a suspicious URL database.

Allstate Robocall Blocker is included in select Allstate Identity Protection plans. Not a member? Sign up at aip.com or check if your employer offers Allstate Identity Protection as a benefit at http://aip.com/employee.

Allstate Identity Protection is offered and serviced by InfoArmor, Inc., a subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation.

Ratings and reviews

This is best call blocker ever and I tried them all. Has blocked 100% of bad calls and none of the good calls. Great job transcribing voicemails to text. The latest update fixed the problem using Back < key to exit the app, then starting the app would leave you stuck on Start page asking for a phone number then server error. They called me twice to give me update about the bug. Great customer service! They really care! But it is not blocking spam text messages.

Signed up for AIP through work. Went through the process with verification code and all that. There is no access to the app now. I have to start all over, putting my phone number in, and all I get is a server error. I did get a possible spam call warning. It was for my mechanic, which is not necessarily a bad thing. They send calls through a different number.

Went to set everything up and then found out there are cellphone companies that don't work with. Recommend to check before you install this App and set it up. Great concept of a call and text blocker of unwanted contacts. Hopefully, it will support all companies for cellphones.
