No more staring at your phone debating whether to pick up or not. Report or block spam calls with ease.

And search for the phone numbers of local businesses straight from your Galaxy's native phone app.

Deal with spam the easy way

The Smart Call function lets you know who's calling even when the number isn't on your contact list. When it's spam, you can easily block the call, and then take action by reporting it.

Take action against spam

Before or after you respond to a spam call, you can choose to block or report the number so you won't be harassed twice.

Tap either 'Block' or 'Report', depending on what you want to do

To report spam numbers, select the type of spam, write a comment, and tap the 'Report' button.
Search locally

SEARCH LOCALLLY

No need to open an Internet browser. Search for local businesses directly from the phone app, using the Places tab. Call them up or save the number to your contacts.
