So, if you have T-Mobile, use T-Mobile’s Scam Shield and don’t bother with Truecaller. Truecaller also failed to mark as spam all of the political calls and texts before the U.S. These alerts are followed by other notification methods, but the time it takes to receive an alternate notification and take down an address can have a significant negative impact when every minute counts. Some of those marked as Junk (and therefore had their notifications suppressed when they came in) were from a 911 Computer Aided Dispatch system (used to notify first responders of emergencies and provide address and situational info). Truecaller also marked a couple dozen legitimate text messages as Promotional and Junk. (I manage my parents’ Verizon account.) I don’t remember the other one. One was Verizon’s Sales department returning my call. I installed Truecaller, hoping it would catch the few spam calls that Scam Shield does not (one or two a month), but, in the 6-9 months I had it installed, Truecaller only showed two calls as spam and they were both legitimate calls. I use T-Mobile’s Scam Shield service and app.
