Number Shield

Versuche die App und gebe dann meine eigenen Erfahrungen hier bekannt.

Used to be good but then stopped blocking any numbers. Useless. Don’t waste your time. Try Hiya.

Once i enabled text filtering in settings, messages, unknown and spam and selected number shield. all number ranges i added were permanently blocked.

Updated 2024: still working. I never even know it’s there. It just does its job! Original review: I’ve been using this app for several years and it works great. You have to pay attention to setting it up but afterwards it just does its thing. I’ve tried several of the big-name blocker apps but this one is better. The developer is responsive if you have an issue or question. I wish I were more of an influencer so I could help it get more recognition! Thanks to the developer!!

Trying to block area code 202 to get rid of all the political garbage spam text and this app doesn’t work.

Doesn’t work with iPhone. Not resetting my phone to make this app work like it suggests. Fix your app to be compatible with iPhone. All I get is a msg that says “database error. Need to backup and reset phone.” Deleted app, still same issue.

Worked for the first four or five entries but now it won’t open. It says “Blocking Numbers” and never gets past 25% so u can’t put in more numbers.

I was getting 6-7 calls from North Carolina every day. After installing Number Shield, I have blocked about 42 million numbers in NC. Calls are now maybe one a day—then I block that area code and prefix. Nicely done.👍😊

The app is terrible. I've reached out to the developer multiple times (example below) and gotten NO RESPONSE from Customer Support. "Hi, I'm making another attempt to get a response to my message. Please explain why the app isn't working, and why it starts a long "high number count" block process EVERY time I re-open the app. Annoyingly, there's no way to stop the process either. Again please advise."

I’ve been getting a ton of spam text messages lately so decided to see if there was an app that could block numbers according to area code, and I saw this one mentioned a few times in my searches. I downloaded it and entered 4 of the most common area codes I was getting these from. The app said it couldn’t do it on the 4th one and to try again. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app a number of times, plus restarting my phone, I finally got it to work. It said something like 40 million numbers were blocked. I was like Yes, finally!! … only to be disappointed by getting multiple spam texts from those same area codes within the next week… I tried entering a “1” in front of the number thinking maybe that was the issue but it wouldn’t even change it over. Also checked to be sure my call blocking was allowing the app, and that the “block text messages” was on within the app.
