Mabel

Let Mabel Answer Your Scam Calls

When ShooFly blocks a spam call, it goes to Mabel instead of ringing your phone. She can't find her glasses, mixes up the numbers and keeps the scammer talking for as long as she can. Every minute they spend on Mabel is a minute they're not calling someone's grandmother.

She Takes the Calls You Don't Want

  • Answers the spam ShooFly blocks and the calls you decline, so your phone stays quiet.
  • Keeps scammers on the line with stories, questions and wrong numbers, for as long as she can.
  • Numbers other people have reported as spam can go straight to her too.
  • Robocalls and silent calls get a quick goodbye, so they don't use up your minutes.

And the Ones You Do

  • Your voicemail, with personality. Use Mabel as your voicemail: she greets callers by your name and takes a proper message.
  • She knows your contacts. People in your contacts leave a message without being treated like a scammer. Only scrambled numbers leave your phone, never names.
  • You hear who's calling. A notification tells you she's answering, and whether it looks like a scam or a real caller.

Every Call, Afterwards

  • Listen to every call, with the transcript following along, and see whether it was a scam or a real caller.
  • Mabel's Diary: on days she takes calls, an evening voice note from Mabel about her day and the scammers she met.
  • Share Clip: turn the funniest moment into a short captioned video to share.
  • Deleted a call by mistake? Recently Deleted keeps it for 3 days.

Bring Her In

  • Into a live call. Already on the phone with a scammer? Add Mabel to the call and let her take over.
  • Friends Who Can Play. Add friends and family who can call Mabel themselves, just for fun.
  • Character Calls. Have a character call someone in your family, right in the app: a nice surprise for kids.
  • Voice Postcards. 20 a month: a recorded message from a character for a birthday, a holiday or just to say hi. See how it works

Or let ShooFly match the character to the scam (a job scam meets Brenda, a crypto pitch meets Gary), or pick a different one each call. Seasonal guests drop in around the holidays, like Santa and Count Dracula, and with Mabel Pro you can describe a character of your own.

Plans

Mabel: 50 minutes a month, $9.99/month or $89.99/year. Mabel Pro: 90 minutes, more voices and a character you make up yourself, $14.99/month or $149.99/year. Both include 20 Voice Postcards a month. Works with or without ShooFly Plus.

Setup takes about a minute, with a test call to show it works. Need more minutes one month? Add a pack in the app. Calls are recorded so you can listen back; each character tells callers so in their own way.
