EE spam

After using EE for my work line, I've received more spam calls via that number in 2 weeks than I have ever had over Three at all. They need to step up their spam protection game.

They have but there's a charge for it...



Also has this year's buzz word in it.. AI POWERED FTW (I added the FTW bit) :D

I've added it to my account... Reluctantly.
Let's see if it makes any difference. Also note they've signed me upto a free trial which is then £2 a month after for some security software they use. Will be removing that when I have the chance.

It's funny you mention that you've seen a spike in spam calls, I've noticed on my EE line I am getting more of those calls. I would get a few here or there but in the last month at least 3-4 a week.

Normally I would ignore unknown callers but we had a house flood recently and the insurance company seen hell bent on using as many different companies as they possibly can to fix everything.

The cynic in me would say the increase in spam calls is well timed with the launch of this new product...
 
I assume this EE product is just Hiya, but on a network level?


Samsung also uses Hiya to block spam calls.

Personally I use Google's Phone/Messages apps which are very good at blocking the type of spam calls/texts I receive, work on all Android, and is also free.

I guess this is still useful for iPhone users since Apple doesn't seem to have any protection in place?

You can silence unknown callers but nothing by default.

You can install Hiya as a stand alone app on your iPhone enable basic spam call blocking and of course there's a premium subscription for more services.

It's a bit strange to charge for the Hiya part of it when EE/Hiya would benefit from the data collected from any attempted spam/scam calls.

Also a strange decision considering that the same thing is implemented on BT/EE digital voice at no extra cost.

For what it's worth, I haven't had any such calls on my EE mobile in ages

I guess Hiya have to make money somehow, they're charging EE who pass the charge onto users.

i get loads of spam calls on EE. i used to get multiple per week but since May it's been more like one every 1-2 weeks. still annoying but not as bad, i really hope they fix it at some point! i at least don't get spam texts.

my number is originally from 3, then EE, then Vodafone, then EE. anecdotal but i seemed to get more spam calls ever since my number went on Vodafone.
