Requires supported carrier call forwarding and an internet connection on your iPhone. Carrier charges may apply. RingZen follows your iPhone’s Focus settings.
From RingZen customers
A quieter phone, in their own words.
MikeI was getting 5, 6, sometimes 10 or 12 spam calls a day. With RingZen I'm getting none!
DavidA friend had this on their phone, so I entered the numbers to connect. As soon as I realized what was happening, I said, 'I need this. How do I get it?'
ElisabethI love how quiet my phone is now without all the spam calls. It only rings when a human is calling. My doctor, my grandmother, my friends all get through! And my phone stays quiet for all the rest. I love it.

Good questions
A few things worth knowing.
Yes. People continue calling your existing number. You use your carrier’s call-forwarding controls to send incoming calls through RingZen. An iPhone running iOS 17 or later, a US mobile line and carrier call forwarding are required. Setup guides cover AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile; support varies by carrier, plan and line. Ask support before subscribing if you use another carrier or an MVNO. Keep forwarding off until your RingZen number and app are ready, then complete the guided call check.
Yes. Add their phone numbers to your VIP list in the app. VIP callers skip the keypad check and ring your connected iPhone directly. You can remove them at any time to restore screening. Your list belongs to your account; contact names and photos stay on your iPhone. Caller ID can be spoofed, so a VIP match does not verify the caller’s identity.
No. Callers use their ordinary phone keypad. The screening prompt tells them which digits to enter. Your chosen code is a simple interaction check, not proof of the caller’s identity.
No screening service can promise that. RingZen helps reduce automated interruptions by asking callers to complete a keypad check. Any caller who completes it can reach your phone, including unwanted human callers or automated systems that can follow the prompt.
With RingZen, the caller hears your personalized unavailable announcement and is asked to text instead. With Plus or Pro, a caller who passed screening can leave a message after an unanswered, declined or failed connection. Calls that don’t pass screening cannot leave voicemail.
RingZen supports incoming calls while your iPhone is locked and the app is in the background. Your iPhone needs an internet connection. iOS Focus settings can silence or reject a call; RingZen does not override them. Deliberately force-quitting the app can affect incoming-call delivery.
Pro adds message search and reminders you can set for a callback. Optional transcription and AI summaries are off by default. When you allow analysis in the app, only new eligible voicemail is sent to Twilio for processing; older messages are not backfilled. You can turn analysis off at any time. Transcripts and summaries may contain errors, so the original recording remains available until you delete it or its retention period ends. Phone callbacks use the regular iPhone Phone app.
All plans include calling without monthly minute allowances or per-minute overage charges. Carrier forwarding and mobile-data charges may still apply.
No. Keep your mobile service for outgoing calls, texts and emergency calls. RingZen screens forwarded incoming calls; it does not provide emergency calling, number porting or an SMS inbox. Legitimate callers who cannot use the keypad prompt may not get through. Turn forwarding off whenever you want calls to return directly to your mobile line.
Subscription cancellation stops renewal at the end of the paid period. Turn carrier forwarding off before your service ends. Cancellation does not delete your account. Account deletion permanently closes the account and releases its RingZen number; a released number may be assigned to someone else. For billing questions, contact support.
