Find out more O2’s Call Defence technology cuts down on scam calls for consumers
14 April 2025
In November 2024, O2 (Virgin Media) implemented Hiya’s innovative AI-powered scam detection service, dubbed ‘Call Defence,’ as a proactive measure to combat fraud and nuisance calls. Since its launch, the service has marked a remarkable impact, flagging over 150 million ‘suspected’ scam and spam calls, with numbers now surpassing 50 million per month.
This technology leverages Adaptive AI to analyse call number behaviour in real-time. By determining whether an incoming call may be a scam or spam, the service alerts customers before they answer. As a result, calls tagged as ‘suspected scam’ are now answered 42% less often and tend to be 89% shorter than unflagged calls, illustrating a significant reduction in engagement with potentially harmful calls.
