Where is Scam Protection or Scam Shield?

[kolyan2k]

I dont see any settings to remove scam calls on Tmobile S26

It's part of the T life app. It's no longer a separate app. You just have to open t life app go to your account and there is a section for Scam Shield

Is it the same as #662# dialer code and it's something that integrates with phone when spam calls come in?

I thought Call Screening was very useful on Pixel, but it's nearly useless on Samsung because it doesn't screen spam calls, it screen ALL unknown calls without any options

On the unlocked its run by Google now

I have that, but it doesn't stop from receiving spam calls. I want to block and/or screen spam calls but Block spam is removed from T-Mobile it seems and screening spam is not an option on Samsung for some reason

This one I don't have. Can anyone confirm this was removed on T-Mobile phones?

Gotcha.. it's on my unlocked with T-Mobile

Yeah after reading a bit I do see that carrier phones have this removed. And I am surprised Call Screening doesn't have option to screen spam calls.....makes no sense to me

Carrier phones probably want to run their own version if I had to guess.

Does your call screening have only 1 automatic option?

I haven't paid attention but I will next time I get spam

No I mean in settings it's Auto Screen Calls on or off, nothing else? Because in Pixel there are 3 options for auto screening calls

Oh ok this what mine looks like with 2 options

Wow......this is crazy that T-Mobile removed all these settings

How is this even legal to remove advertised features from phone?

 

[kolyan2k]

Can anyone else confirm with T-Mobile phone that it's removed and it's not just me who disabled some critical app?

Usually T-Mobile pretty good on not messing with what Samsung comes with besides their own stuff, I'm surprised.

You could try using the Google dialer app. It works fine on my wife's S23 (I have a Pixel). It's not 100%, there are some oddities.

I purchased the phone with call screening, I want my call screening. They can't just remove it

No, you paid for T-Mo to loan you a device that they will dictate to you how it may be used. That is the down side to getting a carrier branded device. besides the options they hide/remove, there is the bloatware they include, in case you're having trouble finding your own apps to install and not use.

In the meantime,
