A recent study weighed popular phone carriers against each other in how accurately each carrier detects robocalls and spoofed calls.

In the robocall context, the study looked at how often the carrier identified a number that is "problematic" in order to determine accuracy. Of the major carriers, the study found that Verizon's "Enhanced Caller Name ID" led the pack by detecting problematic numbers 93.6% of the time, followed T-Mobile's "SCAM ID in Combination with Name ID" at 90.1% detection and AT&T Wireless's "Call Protect" with 86.9% detection.
