User Reviews for Firewall - Spam Call Blocker

LOVE♥️ But problem with SMS blocking part..so 4 stars.

As far as them stopping the calls from coming in....ITS BEEN WONDERFUL!!!!! Everyday I would get 7-10 a day!!! Most coming from the same cities in the USA!! It’s heaven not running to see who is calling, or just hearing the phone ring that many more times a day, then having to go into the phone more to block the number and add it to the HUNDREDS I’ve already blocked but they have tons more to use so I have block more!! It’s a lost cause trying to think you can stop it by your own self blocking these “PITA’S” just go for the small fee per month, it saves so much aggravation and time!! BUT..on reason for 4 stars...I opted for blocking spam text messages, but They still come through. I don’t know if there is something else I need to do on my end to completely stop them or if they need to take more steps to ensure they are not getting through. If you don’t mind that, then by all means save the misery of those annoying machines calling you all day and night long!

Not great.

Let me preface this review as "this app did not work for me" however, it may work for you? Firewall blocks any number or SMS (if you set it up) that is not whitelisted. I am a consultant and travel extensively. Firewall's approach for me is too limiting; for instance, I had to use an SMS text system that randomizes their numbers for each message, which was a nightmare with Firewall. I could reply to one message and not the other etc. The other problem stemmed from the fact that all calls forwarded through Firewall's VOIP telephone system, the call quality for me, was inferior, and is not easily switched to a mobile carrier during the call. To my understanding, they are working on it. I felt like I was paying to be a beta tester when using the Firewall app.

I never leave reviews

I have had this app for some time now. I am not a tech person, at all. I was so bombarded with useless call, so I installed this app & four others at the same time frame. (None were the free type). I wanted to see if this “type” of app really worked on useless calls. Out of all I tried this App has the most features, easy to use & set up...and most importantly....it WORKS...100% of the time. As far as the monthly fee...I’d rather pay for the app to block all the calls & messages than spend my time answering calls/messages that are bogus. It’s definetly a Keeper!

Disappointed.

Like most, I had high hopes for Firewall. On day one, it blocked 7 robocalls. Gotta love that! But for me, the caveats quickly began to mount.- Call quality is terrible. Every time anyone called me, I'd have to call them back to be able to eliminate persistent noise and dropouts.- Calls in the call history no longer display the proper label (e.g., "home," "iPhone," "work," etc.). Instead the label is replaced with "Firewall." So you have no idea where the person is calling from. That's not trivial. It's often important to know if someone's calling (or called) from home or work, etc. Firewall removes that information. Bad move.- Voicemail messages are intercepted and are handled in a very clunky manner within the Firewall app. I hate it. Furthermore, far too many taps are required to get to the audio playback.- When calls come in, the app's interface is different from the Phone app, which is disconcerting. And the button to answer calls is blue instead of green, which is just dumb. There's a reason that conventions exist and have become *universal*: Green is for "go," and red is for "stop."Although I loved having unwanted calls blocked, the caveats are simply too intrusive. So regrettably I've removed Firewall. It's a great idea in theory, but these issues need to be resolved. Until then, Firewall falls far short.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I’m very hesitant about downloading any app to my phone without reading reviews, fine print, etc. I took the chance of downloading this app after reading positive reviews... I was desperate to find an app to block all of those pesky Robocalls. Well ! I am very pleased to announce that this app blocks everything that you don’t have listed in your contact list on your phone. My phone has been so quiet .... except for calls that I do want and know. It also lets you know what numbers are known Robocallers ... scans unknown numbers ... and just scans and blocks everything! I’m on the trial period for using this app, but for the very low monthly fee they charge afterwards it is definitely worth it!!!! I recommend everyone download this app! Thank you so much developers!

The perfect app!

I’m still in the trial period, but if it keeps working the way it has been so far it will be worth the 4 bucks! I had to change my number because my phone was blowing up with unknown numbers. I tried 2 other apps and they didn’t do what I wanted. I’m a private person; I don’t want anyone calling me unless I gave them my number. This app is a dream! Strange numbers don’t even ring! I have peace and quiet now!UPDATE: My only complaint is people can’t hear me when I answer the phone. I hear them saying “hello” over and over until one of us hangs up. I immediately call them back. If that’s the only issue, it’s still worth the $4 in my case. I don’t get enough legitimate phone calls for this to be a real problem.

A MUST HAVE ap

I love absolutely everything about this ap, especially when it lets me know when the call is from a “Known Robo Caller”. Wish I found this ap sooner. We are about to disconnect our home phone because of all the calls. It is a land line and I wish there was a way to connect this ap to that phone. It would save us the time of calling friends, family, doctors, and other contacts to change our number to one of our cell phones. Well worth the monthly fee. If I didn’t find this ap, I was considering dropping my cell phone as well, since I average 8 to 10 Tellemarketing calls a day, and at inconvenient times. Two Thumbs Up. Highly recommended.

Firewall

I truly thought I would love this but now I’m not sure. I don’t think as many calls are coming through that usually have been. But even just now 2-3 times in a row I’ve gotten a call from same number which came thru with no name of who it is therefore I know the Number isn’t inMy Whitelist. It’s been one of the numbers I’ve been trying to stop and not succeeded at getting rid of even with Firewall. This confuses me. Yesterday I deleted couple numbers that also go through that aren’t in my whitelist. Suddenly here’s once again the other I spoke of in beginning ringing one more for me to hit drcline. Just wondering why nothing stopping it all. Gonna try to add other stuff now to see if will help but not sure if will continue this dubscription.

Missed numerous important calls

I did not like your service, so I got out of the subscription and dialed the appropriate number for my sprint carrier *720 to end the call forwarding, but it still didn’t work. Kept getting text messages from firewall saying I am missing calls and that I need to dial *720 again, since I am unsubscribed. I have done this plenty of times already, I emailed customer support with a full explanation of my situation and of my attempts, and all they told me was to dial *720 for sprint to end the call forwarding, seems like they didn’t even read the message.. I’ve missed important calls, such a disappointment, please fix this.Update: In the end, I was told to contact my carrier to manually disable the call forwarding..Update: to this day unable to get it fixed. (Months later) Have contacted my carrier multiple times to try to resolve but the issue persists. What the heck did you guys do?

Good App but...

I installed FIREWALL a few weeks ago. I liked it, I recall that; but, I ended up UN-installing FIREWALL-just can not recall the exact reason! Regardless, ever since I uninstalled FIREWALL, I’ve been experiencing a problem. I have received about 5 or 6 text messages, over time not all at once. I assume they originate from FIREWALL Customer service division. They all basically say the same thing & I have followed through with every recommendation from each text. The text says-“I missed a call from (xxx) XXX-XXXX because FIREWALL was unreachable.”(Probably because it’s NOT on my iPhone any longer!) Then it goes on to say to call *720 to PERMANENTLY DELETE FIREWALL & to un-forward calls to it from my iPhone. Which, I have done SEVERAL TIMES! Apparently, this is NOT working! Can someone help?? I’ll check back to see if anyone from Firewall answers my questions here! Thank you.

Description

Firewall is the only app that can handle the state of spam calls today. BLOCK 100% OF SPAM CALLS Most robocall blocker apps try to determine which numbers spammers use, but spam callers and robocallers switch numbers and use fake Caller IDs to get around those blockers. Firewall works the opposite way.

You create a list of people from your contacts who you want to hear from, and only those approved callers can ring through. All other callers get blocked or sent to voicemail. PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY AND PRODUCTIVITY Firewall is guaranteed to block spam calls, fraud calls, and robocalls, but it does a lot more to help keep your number private and keep you productive: - Avoid unwanted text messages, with our SMS spam blocker - Eliminate disruptions from legal but annoying calls (car dealers, salespeople, etc) - Screen messages with visual voicemail - Pause the blocker when expecting an important call from an unknown number - Protect your personal number by making anonymous outbound calls to unknown numbers - Keep your privacy intact - your contacts are stored locally unlike other robocall blocker apps - Get support from our U.S. based customer service team 7 days a week Some of our favorite features include: BEST-IN-CLASS VISUAL VOICEMAIL Quickly see who called and what they wanted, so you can determine if you want to call them back, block them, or add them to your allowed contacts list. OPTIONAL SMS FILTER SMS spam is on the rise. Flip on Firewall’s SMS filter to keep scammers and marketers from polluting your messages with unwanted texts. PRIVACY FOR ALL Firewall is built by Ad Hoc Labs, the same company that makes Burner, the award-winning 2nd phone number app. We build privacy-first communications tools, and unlike many other companies, we value privacy above all else. We would never sell your data or compromise your privacy. 14-DAY FREE TRIAL Firewall is free to try for 14 days - we know you’ll love it! If not, you can opt-out of the subscription during your free trial and won’t be charged. Once your free trial ends, your subscription will automatically renew at $3.99/mo with no commitments. Cancel at any time. Firewall is only available for Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint customers. Firewall robocall blocker lets you block unwanted calls and puts you back in control of your phone. Here’s a little about why people love us: “Kryptonite for unwanted calls” - Macworld “My phone hasn't rung once. I couldn't be happier” - CNET “A radical option to crack down on robocalls” - Axios Terms of Service: https://www.adhoclabs.co/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://www.adhoclabs.co/privacy-policy
