Hey Cricket users! If you’re tired of unwanted calls and messages cluttering your mobile experience, you’re in the right place. Cricket’s Call Defense feature gives you greater control over your calling experience while keeping those pesky spam calls at bay. Let’s dive into how you can make the most of this amazing feature.
What is Cricket’s Call Defense?
Cricket Call Defense takes your call management to the next level. It helps in identifying potential spam callers and automatically blocks numbers that are likely fraudulent. Plus, it offers call authentication using the STIR/SHAKEN industry standards, ensuring that you can trust the numbers that come through. Not only does it save you time, but it also gives you peace of mind!
Features of Cricket Call Defense
- Automatic blocking of fraudulent calls and SMS messages.
- Nuisance call warnings for spam, telemarketer, political, and survey calls.
- Real-time call authentication for verified incoming calls.
This fantastic feature is completely free for eligible devices and is included in all Cricket rate plans!
Activating Cricket Call Defense
If you’re a new customer or haven’t yet activated this feature, don’t worry! In most cases, Cricket automatically turns on Call Defense when you activate your service. But, if you want to make sure it’s running or need to customize it a bit, here’s how to do it via the myCricket App:
- Open the myCricket App and log in to your account.
- Tap the gear icon located in the upper right corner to access Account Settings.
- If you have multiple lines on your account, select the specific line you want to manage.
- Under Line Settings, tap on Call Defense.
- Switch the toggle to On or Off, depending on your preference.
Is the Change Immediate?
You might wonder if turning on or off the Cricket Call Defense has any waiting time associated with it. Good news! Your changes should take effect in real-time, so you’ll be ready to go in just a moment!
Why Don’t I Always Receive Call Warnings?
To effectively receive those helpful call warnings, make sure you’re within an HD Voice coverage area and that Cricket Call Defense is turned on. You can always check your current status by visiting the myCricket App. If you’re ever uncertain, it’s just a few taps away!
