I used to get spam calls all day long, some day’s multiple times an hour! There were a few of them that had a robo dial that called 55 times in a row!! Since downloading and using Active Armor I don’t get ANY of those calls! You can set it up to have anything not in contacts to go directly to voicemail. The paid version includes VPN which is great! You can also set that up to start automatically every time you go to the internet. I haven’t had the issues mentioned in another review, it all depends on how you have your phone and internet setup. There’s a setting that says “block all cookies” if you have selected that, it won’t open sites because all sites use cookies and some are required in order to access the website. I tried that option once and it did block me from opening any website, as soon as I changed that setting, no problem. The VPN keeps your IP address private. I love this app! The only negative I’ve had is it doesn’t always update automatically, I have to go to the App Store and check for updates.

New update making it worse

Sorry to post a negative review, but I feel like you should be aware. With the new update, I have to use to additional steps to make sure my connection is working. It’s already a pain to have to keep the app itself open, and in the Network section. I also have to keep the Settings app open to Cellular all the time, just to keep a connection. I now have to go back, then select “Cellular” as well as having to go to the home page of the Active Armor app and select “Network” to make sure it’s working. I was already having to do the first two things all the time. (Bad service outside of the city.) Now I have to do two more steps, so I spend a ridiculous amount of time just trying to make sure my connection is working properly. I know this is a bit long already, but I also need to let you know that tone of voice is difficult to get through text. So, please know I’m trying to be informative, not grumpy. :)After receiving feedback, I should have clarified. We live in a rural area with two options for internet (both are satellite). Even though we’ve lived here for over ten years, no other options have become available for internet. My phone works much faster with the WiFi turned off, when I’m at home. I know it’s hard to believe in this day and age, but there are still very few internet options available to many Americans who live in rural areas. I know we have wanted AT&T internet for quite some time, though. ;)

You only need to have your cellular connection switched on the first time you authenticate the app. As soon as you are in the app you can go back to Wi-Fi. Sorry if you were confused we will try to do better at explaining that to customers.

This app is a share your spam numbers you got

I think this app is trash. I get 10 to 20 spam text daily & spam calls. It is like using this app I got more spam. Also this app is for the paying customers to do AT&T job by reporting each and every spam text or calls because they just keep a log of what paying customers report AT&T doesn’t do anything other then share that other customers reported the same number as spam! I gotten calls that have been confirmed as a spam call. It lets 100% of spam calls on my Applewatch. Before you could copy and paste phone numbers to report now you have to type each phone number or type the number the text message then copy it because you have to remove the number 1 prefix & spaces also dash in between the number. I am paying $100 a month for trash AT&T service when other cellphone companies charge less like boost mobile even mint mobile. Also I have over 500 spam text & spam calls I have reported and counting. I am getting even more spam during election time every day like clock work 20 or more daily. AT&T should be paying me for the harassment I get daily nope I am paying them $100 dollars a month for it. I will leave AT&T this month August 2024 after 24 years of over paying for trash service! Update I switched to Boost Mobile already and have more better reception as in bars then AT&T plus I no longer use this AT&T app and the spam text stopped. Boost Mobile for only $25 a month versus the $100 a month I was paying AT&T.

UPDATE: Imagine getting a developer’s response to tell you how to make settings you already have in place. Imagine a developer’s response that assumes you don’t know what you are talking about and just decided to write a review about how terrible their application is just for entertainment. Imagine having spent hours on the phone with the developer’s company and having their own advanced technical service representatives confirming how terrible the product actually is and confirming it in facts doesn’t do its intended purpose. Imagine a company that controls all of the communications to and from a device, develops an application that they parlay into a service they want to charge certain customers for to do the very thing this application claims to do at no cost, and it actually doesn’t work. May I reintroduce to you AT&T’s ActiveArmor and AT&T.Imagine a mobile phone company that offers an application and service to filter unknown senders and when enabled you get more than if it’s not enabled. Imagine a mobile phone company that has had a data breach allowing your information to be purchased by nefarious individuals and your spam, unknown calls, and unknown texts skyrocket. Imagine no more. May I present to you AT&T and ActiveArmor, look no further.

Hello! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. To get the most from AT&T ActiveArmor, open the app and go to the Calls tab to set up your Call Routing preferences and opt to block all spam categories including Private callers who choose to hide their number from you. And turn on My Contacts to ensure your contacts always come through. Also, on your iPhone, open the Phone app, tap Settings, then turn on ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ to block calls from unknown numbers. These steps help reduce unwanted calls and texts. For those that slip through, you can add them to your personal block list. I hope this will improve your experience and feeling about the App. Thanks for choosing AT&T!
