Get help with Verified Business Call (VBC).

On this page:

What is Verified Business Call (VBC)?

Verified Business Call (VBC) lets you know what company is calling and why. The company name, their brand logo, and/or the reason for the call may be available. This only occurs at the time of the incoming call and may not be available on any missed call logs. Not all companies take advantage of this service.

Android devices can have up to three locations for VBC settings.
