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.

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!

I wish this app would have been available when Apple first allowed third party blocking apps. I kind of think Ad Hoc Labs might have been too slow to market with this. If they add features I think they’ll succeed long term with this app. I think my requirements are a little unique. At my high point I was receiving 18 - 25 spam/scam/robo calls per day. I’ve tried 4-5 other paid apps with mixed results. I enabled AT&T Call Protect Plus (which also allows unknown calls to go directly to voicemails) and I went to the IOS beta as soon as possible just to block these calls with Unknown Caller. I was down to one scam/spam call per day getting through. My issue with IOS unknown callers is I receive a ton of unsolicited sales call for work. They tend to email me first so these sales calls were still getting through since Siri recognizes their phone numbers. I wanted them all blocked. Period...full stop. My issue with Call Protect unknown callers is I get a bunch of robocall voicemails filling up my voicemail. I decided to give Firewall a try and it stops them cold. I like the tiered voicemails, especially having two different greetings. One for whitelisted numbers and one for everyone else. They block the obvious spam/scam/robocalls so you don’t even see the VMs. Between AT&T and Firewall they are very effective. I wish the call quality was a little better but frankly I barely actually take calls unless from family or coworkers and never from a salesperson without a specific meeting being setup. I’m old enough to remember a time before cell phones and answering machines when if we weren’t around to answer a call we just missed it. I remember answering machines when we returned calls if necessary. Frankly with voicemails, text messages, chat apps and emails I see no reason to be a slave to picking up every call.

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!

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.

UPDATED: Hi there, we're so glad you're still loving the app! Regardingyour connection issue, all inbound calls are handled using VoIP instead ofyour cellular network. This means that Firewall receives calls through aninternet connection like cellular data or Wi-Fi. Make sure you have a superstrong data/internet connection when using Firewall; that will improve thecall quality as well! If you have a strong cellular data network, you canalways use the switch to cell feature which will use your cellular networkfor calls instead of VoIP:https://support.tryfirewall.com/article/92-what-does-the-switch-to-cell-feature-do.Hope this helps!
We've made some performance improvements and calling fixes for iOS 16. Shoot us an email - support@tryfirewall.com.
