Scam Block Technologies Now Available for MetroPCS Subscribers

T-Mobile said Scam ID and Scam Block are available to customers of its low-cost subsidiary MetroPCS at no extra cost. Both work on all MetroPCS devices because the technologies are built directly into T-Mobile’s nationwide network. “Since T-Mobile launched Scam ID and Scam Block in April 2017, the Un-carrier has already identified and flagged or blocked over 243 million calls for customers,” said a news release. “Though scammers succeed with only 0.2 percent of all calls, a successful scam can cost victims an average of $274 per person according to a study from Truecaller.”
