Downgrade, deactivate, or uninstall the apps

Uninstalling the Mobile Security & Call Protect apps doesn’t remove the services from your account. It also won’t deactivate network-based fraud blocking or stop billing for AT&T Mobile Security & Call Protect Plus. First, remove the services from your account through myAT&T or from either app. Then, uninstall the apps from your device.

If you want to opt out of fraud call blocking and spam alerts for good:
  1. Go to your myAT&T account overview and select My wireless.
  2. Choose one of the following:
    • On a smartphone: Tap Manage devices & features, and then tap the phone you want to opt out for.
    • On a tablet or computer: Scroll to and select the phone you want to opt out for. Select Manage my device and then select Get or manage add-ons.
