So I've tried the Call Filter a couple of times.  The first time, I missed the "free" button, it wanted to charge me after 10 days so I removed it.  A month later, still getting lots of fake ID spam calls, I re-installed it with the free option. It doesn't seem to do anything.  Today I've received 4 fake calls already, yesterday 5, sometimes as late as 9 pm in the evening.  Health insurance, free hotel vacation, etc.  For several years I don't answer these call, had thousands in my block list.  Now I answer a select call or two per day and waste their time, hanging up when they transfer me to a closer or better still, answer their questions for 10 minutes, then ask "Why would I do business with someone using a fake number?" I can't seem to report calls either.  Oh wait, nevermind!  I just found the obscure section in the How To "guide"  which takes SIX steps to report a call as SPAM!  SIX steps to add, search, and then add a FAKE number to the SPAM list, are you kidding Verizon ?   For 5+ calls per day?  https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/how-to-use-call-filter/  Verizon:  If you're even half way serious about spam calls, then make it a one click selection.          

Ever since the forced ICS "upgrade", the mail application has refused  to work with the message "Unfortunately, mail has stopped."  That's it, no other messages or hints.  It's been working fine for almost two years.  A year ago, we changed email servers to the Microsoft Office365 service with activesync.  It's been working great, until the "upgrade". The phone has been re-booted several times, the email account was removed, mail and contacts deleted, phone re-booted, mail account re-configured. Still doesn't work.  The mail icon shows that we have unread messages, but when we start the application, we immediately get the error and the app stops. How do we fix this?  We can't delete the stock Verizon application and re-install.  Email was a main reason for buying the 4G TB with a large screen, now we can't work? Thanks, M
