I have seen more of them lately on my phone, if I don’t recognize a number, I can ignore it. People that use their phone for business do not often have that option... Robokiller looks pretty cool, if I see an increase I might spring for the $4.00 per month.

That sure makes people stop calling me quickly. It doesn't say please leave a message after the tone or anything either lol. It just goes straight to the recording lol |

Now, those parasites are using numbers "close" to the number that they are spamming to make it look local. So, if you're 714-336-5585 they will call you from 714-336-xxxx.
If they are not in my contacts, I don't answer.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I get about one a week, but my wife gets 5-10 a day. I think we will get it for her phone.

It appears that the "do not call list" has failed to function for a number of us. I receive approximately one to two calls per week on the mobile phone. These unsolicited telephone calls appear to originate from Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Missouri, and other states. I usually answer, due to individuals that I know in other states. If the call does not answer within "or about" two seconds, I hang-up. Generally, no one answers within "my" ridged timeframe. Unfortunately, I do not have a "call blocking" feature for my cell telephone, and not a biggy...

I use the Hiya app on my cell phone. It catches the majority of the spam calls. I'm going to cut the land line as I never use it. I get 6-10 call a day on the land line.

Haha, Friday I got a call about "upgrading my cars extended warranty"... my car is 23 years old and has 240,000 miles. I think the warranty is gone.
The robocalls from "local" numbers are quite frustrating since I answer all of my calls for work reasons.

Unfortunately for me, I cannot install these apps. The firm pays for my phone, so I am always available for my clients. As I may receive calls from numbers my phone does not recognize, management is afraid it would identify as a robo-call a call from a client which the phone does not recognize. So, I usually answer and tell them to go ^$)@& themselves and hang up. It is sometimes therapeutic to take out my daily frustrations on these a-holes.
