Robocalls

[Bright Raven]

Is anyone using an app to stop Robocalls?


I recently started a subscription using Robokiller. It is $24 a year with a one week trial period. I was getting about 20 calls a day. To the point that I stopped answering any calls.

Robokiller works. It daily updates the list of spam and Robocalls. There are over a million such numbers registered to legally call for telemarketing.

You can set it up with an answerbot. What that does is tie up their line. To get some pay back.

Robokiller has totally stopped the Robocalls but it is not free.

I get maybe 1 per month. Not worth installing any blocking software.
I liked my old phone better. If your # wasn't in my contact list, the phone didn't accept the call.

Some tell me they get so many calls, their phone is an absolute nuisance.

The only problem with those apps is that now the callers are "spoofing" real numbers. I have had robocalls from numbers of people I know, but that are not in my contact list.

I haven’t got any either.
Don’t know if I am just lucky or the app is working that well.
Seems the robocalls come in waves.

I answer all my calls I just don't say a word. If it's a real person they'll say something otherwise the robocall will just hang up. I went from a bunch of robo calls to very few.

Real people call you?

I get a ton of them! But if I don't recognize the number I simply don't answer the phone & check my messages when it's convenient. Agree with CB they seem to come all at once, monthly, then stop.

Two, three a day right now since it's Obamacare re-enrollment time.

Since I only believe half of what I see and nothing that I hear, it's very possible that I'm being taking advantage of.

I probably get some but don't know it. If a call doesn't show a name on caller I.D. I simply don't answer it. If they leave a message and I recognize them I'll call back. If thye don't leave a message no call.

I always say hello, but not saying anything is a good idea.
