So does Verizon know that it is half way through March already and they have not made the caller ID free like they said they would. Wish they would just let us use the Samsung phone app instead of the limited one

Well did they say what year, maybe not this March ??????
coming soon is something I don't trust from Verizon. can't remember but they had something coming soon about the BlackBerry PRIV once and it became a running joke
Maybe it will be any day now (not much time left in this month).
This article seems to indicate later this week.

So what's the step by step process to get the free version? The Call Filter app in the play store isn't compatible with my LG V20. According to Verizon's site, that app use to be the Caller Name ID app, which I do have but it is not giving me the free version option when I try to sign up. Digging on the Verizon website, I did find the spam filter page, but again, it only offers me the paid version to sign up with. I did see an asterisk note that there's a free version available on the paid version's sign up page, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
The V20 is listed on their site as a compatible phone. I thought maybe it's because I haven't taken the Oreo update, but they have much older LG phones listed as compatible that aren't even on Nougat.
I finally got signed up via the website (they must have updated since my comment, because the free version wasn't available at first. It did say it could take up to 4 weeks for the app to update, so hopefully that happens and we can get in to it.Per Verizon my S8 is compatible but the Play Store says it isn't
The app (which you may already have) is called "Call Filter". The call blocking and reporting are functions that seem to be done at the user/phone level.So there is an app download in addition to signing up for the "free" service on the Verizon website?
Just searched AC about this crap and found this topic. Apparently this was installed on my phone with an update, because I would never knowingly install ANYTHING of Verizon's.
Before anyone does install it, I would check out the reviews in the Playstore, not to mention the permissions. Sadly, I wasn't surprised.
*EDIT* Apparently you cannot uninstall it, however with some apps you can disable it.
