# Inbound Call Screening Is Now Free — With Enhanced Reputation Coverage

### 17, Mar 2026

Inbound Call Screening is a Telnyx feature that automatically **blocks or flags inbound calls** based on **caller reputation** and **STIR/SHAKEN attestation**, helping protect your numbers from spam, fraud, and unwanted traffic.

Inbound Call Screening was previously a paid add-on feature billed on a per-number basis, but starting today we're making it free for use on any number in your Telnyx account.

As part of this release, we've also added **CallerAPI** as a reputation data provider, joining our existing providers **Nomorobo** and **YouMail**. This expanded coverage means more accurate call screening and a better experience for your customers and end users.

## Why We're Making This Change

We want every customer to benefit from call screening without pricing being a barrier. Broader adoption means better protection across your entire number portfolio.

## What You Need to Do

No action needed on your end. If you already have Inbound Call Screening enabled, it will continue to work exactly as before.

From a billing perspective, **you will no longer see charges for Inbound Call Screening on your next invoice**. If your billing cycle closes at the end of this month, your statement should already reflect this change — no line items for call screening going forward.

If you haven't enabled Inbound Call Screening yet, you can turn it on at no cost from the [Telnyx Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com) or via the [Numbers API](https://developers.telnyx.com/api/numbers/phone-numbers).
