Last year, T-Mobile unveiled its Scam Shield software to help protect customers from scam phone calls. This software is available for free to most T-Mobile customers and has helped make using your phone, and answering calls from unknown numbers, safer.

T-Mobile already has some of the best cell phone plans available with its Magenta and essentials plans. T-Mobile also began offering a new cheaper Base Essentials plan for those that want a cheaper postpaid option from the carrier. This cheap plan is a great choice for those that have been looking to prepaid carriers for cheaper plan options but want to stick with T-Mobile and its feature like Scam Shield.
