Thank you! Will write this down and keep it handy..
Whoops, *70#01# blocks that last person that called around here, even if they blocked, but only works if their number is listed, so not international calls.Thank you! Will write this down and keep it handy..It may or may not be a feature available from your phone company. I think you have to call the phone company to set it up, for a monthly fee.
Never mind. *67 blocks your number on outgoing calls, not other incoming calls.
My phone itself has a call block feature but only holds 30 numbers.

The only calls you don't receive are from legitimate businesses. You still get ALL of the robo calls with the spammed phone numbers belonging to real people.Add your phone number for free by visiting donotcall.gov, or calling 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to register (TTY: 1-866-290-4236).

If I register my number, will ALL unwanted calls stop?
No, the Do Not Call Registry prohibits sales calls. You still may receive political calls, charitable calls, debt collection calls, informational calls, and telephone survey calls..
They don't cover my carrier. I would love to use them.We successfully use nomorobo to effectively block robo, spam calls. The phone will ring once and then the filter catches it and the call is stopped. But the phone does ring once. Still, we get about half a dozen "one-ringers" a day. Seldom does a robo get through the filter. If it does I go on line and use the nomorobo site to report it using the information from my caller ID history..
I put all the cell spam in my contacts and turn the sound off for those calls. But, generally speaking? That phone number is used for a day or two and then I get no more calls from it. They're taken out of rotation or something. And it's s new number with the same recorded message.There's an app (or more) for that if you are using your cell!
Both Whoscall and Truecaller will inform you of who is calling (if in their database) and also allow you to block the call.
I keep both on my phone as I get a bunch of spam calls and my cell is not listed anywhere! I am sure some of the calls are ones sent over from when I have my business line rolled over to my cell, but not all..

That Google one. I could reach thru the phone and strangle that guy. At least twice everyday with a different number. I've blocked 13 of them already.
And 'web ranking' - they call 3-4x/week. 'Rsquared' is another one.
The random phone dialer just dials every number in sequence until someone answers. Then your number gets sold.

I did that before I got the blocker. Now my phone doesn't ring for those. Yep, would hate to get one of these numbers as a legit business!Morticia said:I put all the cell spam in my contacts and turn the sound off for those calls. But, generally speaking?

We discuss this and what shows up in the side bar ad? A telemarketer company! They use local phone numbers and area codes to increase pick ups.I put all the cell spam in my contacts and turn the sound off for those calls. But, generally speaking?
