Call Filter app - can't authenticate device

[mrpetrov]

VZW asked me to delete and reinstall my call filter in relation to a totally separate issue - which I've done.

However, on reinstalling it, whenever I hit get started with my cell phone number automatically filled in, I get thrown back after a minute or so to the landing page with the error banner at the bottom of the page saying "We couldn't authenticate your device, please try again later.". Needless to say, trying again later doesn't help.

Similarly, when I go to Manage Device->Call Filter web page on My Verizon, I can't turn the Call Filter button to "on" - it just reloads the page with it set to "off" all the time. I've tried different browsers and different devices. 

I am using the same VZW device, my original iPhone 12 Pro Max - a VZW device.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

We're sorry to read that you're having issues with setting up your Call Filter app. Is the device up to date with software? ~Peter

Yes it’s up to date - I’ve triple checked this. 

The especially weird thing is why the VZW website won’t let me turn the Call Filter button to “On” under Manage Device ->Call Filter…

Thank you. We're going to send you a Private Note so we can take a closer look at the situation.

We know how important it is to be able to put a stop to unwanted calls, and we are here to help. Could you tell us the make and model of your device? Did you purchase the phone directly from Verizon?

Hello DrT69.  Thank you for taking your time to reach out about the error message.  We don't want to have you repeat any steps and would like to know what steps have been taken to fix the issue.  Is the device and app updates complete?

I have the same problem! I am not the main number on my family account but the app automatically prefills "current account" with my phone number and then says it can't authenticate the device / to try again later.

I'm using an iphone 13 with the newest ios.
