Robocalls, spoofed numbers, suspicious callers, and unwanted sales calls have become frustrating parts of everyday phone use.
Some people want every unknown number blocked automatically. Others can't risk missing a legitimate call from a doctor's office, delivery driver, employer, or family member.
Finding the right balance between protection and convenience matters.
As we develop Defentra's phone-protection features, we're interested in understanding what people actually need.
Would you prefer real-time call warnings, customizable blocking rules, suspicious-number lookups, voicemail screening, or a combination?
Have you used a call-blocking application that worked particularly well—or one that created more problems than it solved?
Tell us what your ideal phone protection would look like.

Unwanted calls and suspicious numbers — what would your ideal Call Shield do?
A phone protection feature needs to avoid blocking important legitimate calls.
I would be interested in controls that distinguish between unknown numbers, suspected spam and calls that match saved contacts.
An explanation of why a call was flagged could be useful, particularly when the detection is uncertain.
Would a temporary allow-list be helpful when expecting a call from an unfamiliar number?
