This will help combat a common strategy used by scammers who spoof phone numbers masking their real number. Unfortunately, this will not put a stop to all those robocalls, but it will at least give you some peace of mind knowing whether the unknown caller is using a validated number or not.<\/p>\n<p>The call validation display is part of AT&amp;T Call Protect and is rolling out automatically to most Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and LG V40 users. If you own one of these devices on AT&amp;T and you&#8217;re not already seeing the validation screen, then you can download the AT&amp;T Call Protect app and enable it from the account settings located in myAT&amp;T.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/att-enables-call-validation-help-combat-robocallers\" title=\"AT&amp;T enables call validation to help combat robocallers\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2019\/12\/att-phone-screen-number.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/att-enables-call-validation-help-combat-robocallers\" title=\"AT&amp;T enables call validation to help combat robocallers\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2019\/12\/att-phone-screen-telemarketer.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>AT&amp;T Phone digital home phone users are also eligible for call validation display and can enable it under account settings in myAT&amp;T. If you don&#8217;t have any of the above devices, then you&#8217;re out of luck for now. However, AT&amp;T has stated that it will begin expanding it to more mobile devices next year.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember, even if the number is validated, it doesn&#8217;t guarantee that the caller won&#8217;t try to take advantage of you. That&#8217;s why AT&amp;T still recommends that you always use your best judgment when answering a call, regardless of the number being validated or not. Also, calls that are not marked as validated can still be legitimate, so again, use your best judgment regardless of the validation status when answering calls.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"category reco-block\">Get More Galaxy S10<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"product\">Samsung Galaxy S10<\/h4>\n<p>\n<span itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" class=\"article-rating article-rating--inline app-none\"><br \/>\n  <span class=\"article-rating-stars\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"article-rating-star fa fa-customstar\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"article-rating-star fa fa-customstar\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"article-rating-star fa fa-customstar\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"article-rating-star fa fa-customstar\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"article-rating-star fa fa-customstar-half\"><\/span><br \/>\n      <\/span>  <meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"5.0\"><br \/>\n  <meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"0.0\"><br \/>\n  <meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"4.5\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/att-enables-call-validation-help-combat-robocallers\" title=\"AT&amp;T enables call validation to help combat robocallers\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2019\/02\/galaxy-s10-render-front-white.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Galaxy-Factory-Unlocked-Warranty\/dp\/B07N4GKMH8?tag=androidcentralb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUacUdUtUgs10YYr\" title=\"\" class=\"cta shop norewrite\" rel=\"nofollow\" georiot-ignore=\"true\">Galaxy S10 From $800 at Amazon<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Factory-Unlocked-Warranty-Ceramic\/dp\/B07N4L36H7\/?tag=androidcentralb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUacUdUtUgs10YYr\" title=\"\" class=\"cta shop norewrite\" rel=\"nofollow\" georiot-ignore=\"true\">Galaxy S10+ From $900 at Amazon<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Galaxy-Factory-Unlocked-Warranty\/dp\/B07N4M495N\/?tag=androidcentralb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUacUdUtUgs10YYr\" title=\"\" class=\"cta shop norewrite\" rel=\"nofollow\" georiot-ignore=\"true\">Galaxy S10e From $650 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/samsung-galaxy-s10-review\" title=\"\" class=\"end norewrite\" georiot-ignore=\"true\">Galaxy S10 Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/best-galaxy-s10-cases\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">Best Galaxy S10 Cases<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/best-galaxy-s10-plus-cases\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">Best Galaxy S10+ Cases<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/best-galaxy-s10-accessories\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">Best Galaxy S10 Accessories<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/best-galaxy-s10-screen-protectors\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">Best Galaxy S10 Screen Protectors<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/androidcentral\/~4\/AteWpcpiSV0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only available for users with a Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, or LG V40.<\/p>\n<p>What you need to know<\/p>\n<p>AT&amp;T is rolling out call validation screens based on the SHAKEN\/STIR protocol.<br \/>\nIt is part of AT&amp;T Call Protect and is only available for the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, LG V40, and AT&amp;T Phone digital home phone users at this time.<br \/>\nAT&amp;T is planning on expanding call validation display to more mobile devices in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, we&#8217;ve all been bombarded by the non-stop ringing of our phones due to robocalls.
