Description
Smart Call feature provides Caller ID and spam protection. It lets the user know who is calling even when the number is not on the user's contact list by using an online service to do the lookup. Users can also upload their name and number into the online service. This could allow potentially DoD-sensitive data such as names and telephone number to be compromised. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47
