If a phone company offered non-phone number spoofing, would you:

I would switch carriers and I’m also willing to pay the $5.00 per month extra to guarantee I don’t receive any more spoof calls.

I am almost always streaming something on my phone and hate getting interrupted several times per day with some annoying spoof call.

Verizon is currently selling a service that flag calls a likely spam. It seems to work pretty well for the 1 month free trial they gave me. I have heard that other carriers are including similar services at no additional cost. I don’t really get enough spam calls to pay $3 a month to avoid them.

Now that you mention it, Sprint offered the same or similar service via an app called “Caller ID”. As the phone is ringing the app displays a message for numbers not in your contact list identifying the caller via caller ID and/or indicating that the number has been tagged as potentially associated with fraud or spam. Neat during the free trial period, but to continue costs $2.99/month. Since I can’t see how this is significantly better than the “don’t answer let them leave voicemail” method described above, I have declined to pay.
