Start with FREE AI-powered Message Protection. With protection enabled, GoodCall watches messages from supported apps like text/SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, and more. It recognizes common scam tactics and warns you when something doesn’t look right.

For complete protection, upgrade to Call Protection and let GoodCall detect scams while they’re happening on the phone.

FREE MESSAGE PROTECTION

Scam messages don’t always look suspicious. They can appear to come from a bank, delivery service, employer, government agency, friend, or family member.

GoodCall uses AI to look beyond the sender and recognize the tactics scammers use, including urgency, impersonation, suspicious links, payment requests, threats, and attempts to steal personal information.

With free Message Protection, GoodCall:

• Monitors incoming messages
• Detects suspicious language and scam tactics
• Warns you when a message may be dangerous
• Explains what made the message suspicious
• Helps you decide what to do next
• Protects you automatically in the background

Spam filters see the sender. GoodCall sees the scam.

UPGRADE TO REAL-TIME CALL PROTECTION

Scammers constantly change phone numbers, imitate legitimate callers, and use convincing stories to pressure people into acting quickly. Blocking known spam numbers isn’t enough.

Upgrade to Call Protection to detect scam behavior during live phone calls. GoodCall listens for the tactics scammers use and can intervene before money or personal information is shared.

When Call Protection is enabled, GoodCall becomes your default Phone app and provides:

• Full dialer and contact calling
• Complete in-call screen experience
• Call history and recent calls management
• Secure visual voicemail
• Real-time AI scam detection during calls
• Instant warnings when a call becomes suspicious
• Smart call badges for clear safety indicators
• Guidance on what to do after a suspicious call

HOW CALL PROTECTION WORKS

GoodCall analyzes conversations for signs of fraud, including:

• Impersonation of banks, businesses, government agencies, or family members
• Urgent demands for immediate action
• Requests for gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or unusual payments
• Attempts to obtain passwords, verification codes, or financial information
• Threats, secrecy, manipulation, and other social engineering tactics

When GoodCall detects a potential scam, it alerts you immediately and helps stop the conversation before damage is done.

PROTECTION FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

GoodCall can protect your own phone or help you manage protection for the people you care about.

From one account, you can:

• Protect yourself
• Add and manage protected family members
• Help a parent or loved one complete setup
• Manage multiple protected phones
• Keep your family safer from message and phone scams

Your phone only counts toward your Call Protection plan if you choose to protect it. If you’re managing protection for someone else, you can do so through the app without protecting your own phone.

WHY GOODCALL IS DIFFERENT

• Traditional spam blockers rely mainly on known senders and phone numbers
• GoodCall analyzes the behavior and tactics behind the message or conversation
• AI helps detect new and evolving scams, including those from familiar-looking numbers
• Protection extends beyond robocalls to impersonation, manipulation, and social engineering
• Free Message Protection makes it easy to start protecting yourself right away
• Optional Call Protection adds real-time protection where scams can be most convincing

PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN

• No selling of personal data
• Secure, encrypted architecture
• Built to protect—not monetize—your information

Scams can reach anyone. GoodCall helps you recognize them sooner, respond with confidence, and protect the people who matter most.
