According to T-Mobile, last year, about 58 billion scam and robocalls were made in the US. To make things worse, the current COVID-19 crisis is a “huge opportunity” for scammers, with over 1 million related scam calls being made daily in the US since the beginning of the pandemic.

T-Mobile says that Scam Shield protects you better than the anti-scam features of Verizon and AT&T. The new protection system works regardless of the wireless technology used by scam callers – from 3G to 4G and 5G, and even Wi-Fi.

T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers will be able to download Scam Shield starting July 24 via Apple App Store and Google Play.
