Question Where is "Caller ID and Spam Protection?

[ilgal]

Hi, all. I'm watching a video about setting up my S24+ and there is a clip about turning on Caller ID and Spam Protection. It's supposedly under Call Settings, below the Block Numbers option, but my phone doesn't have it. I have a U.S Verizon phone. The Software version shows OneUI 6.1 and Android version 14. Any ideas?

Do you have a choice between the Samsung and Verizon versions of that feature?

 

[ilgal]

It doesn't show up as an option in call settings at all. It should show up as an option where the highlight is in the screenshot.

For caller ID, check under Caller Information. For spam protection, look for the Verizon Call Filter app. If you don't have it, you can get it in the Play Store.

My unlock s24u has it in call settings but Verizon most likely removed it to use their own app

Verizon did indeed remove it.

That's usually the case lol

Ahh...bastards. On your advice, I did check for the VZW Call filter and it's there and active. Thanks for the info!

Would flashing the unlocked firmware enable it? I have a factory unlocked device with the unlocked firmware and am using Verizon.

Wow, I can't believe you would suggest Verizon doing such a thing.

Shame on me

When I had an S10+ from Verizon, I flashed the unlocked firmware to get back the features that Verizon eliminated like Find My Mobile and Call & Text on Other Devices.

It's not there for Tmobile either

TMo S24Plus here and that option is indeed a part of my call settings in the same location noted above.

I know this is probably old news, but I noticed on the Verizon branded S24+ the call and text on other devices option is there. That missing was the main reason I flashed the unlocked firmware on my Verizon phone. I'm guessing it has to do with Verizon ditching Verizon messages.

T-Mobile has there Own Personal Caller ID, Text Spam Block , It's called Scam Shield. And it definitely works cause i have it.
