I just read in the newspaper that if you dial *77......and hear 3 beeps any number that calls you and hides their number will be blocked.
I called Verizon to confirm this and to make sure there was no charge for it ....and they said it is a free service. Just passing this information on.....paper also said other carriers offer this....just check to see if there is a charge first ![]() |

Does that include spammers who spoof their numbers? I have nomorobo on my home phone, but in the last couple of months, that service seems to be failing. I have a bunch of spammers getting through, and to the one they have all spoofed numbers. Hell, one of them yesterday listed the name and number of a local bank, and they were trying to sell medical braces.

I have a block number feature with T-Mobile, since I've blocked a few, my spam calls are way down.

I use OOMA for VoIP at home and the control panel allows the same. It has a few options based on nomorobo as well.
For my Android cell i use "should i answer" to block the robocallers. |

Nomorobo works pretty well for us. The phone still rings once, which is a minor annoyance.
Anonymous blocking is nice, but we rarely get "number unknown" calls. I'd guess that over 99% of our spam calls are spoofed numbers. You'd think that the carriers could somehow block anything with a spoofed number, but I guess not. ![]() |

Lately, all I get are spoofed #s. I recently got a call from my own number! I never answer unless I know the caller, or if I feel frisky and want to just screw with someone.

I hate the spoofed calls. Being that I use my phone for business I often answer numbers that appear local. More than 50% are bullshit.

I get calls from the press. These calls are gold but it means answering most calls. Huge waste of time. I put a message on my voice mail that says “Due to the number of spam calls, if you are not a robot, please text this number and I will call you right back.”

Sirius radio is the worst. They call me 10 times a day, and the number is displayed as a local cell phone.

Since I've learned to download my favorite tunes on the thumb drive, don't need XM anymore.

They have a nice service, just overpriced, in my opinion. If they would have just offered me reasonable renewals, I would still have them. They also made it very difficult to cancel; I finally had to just lie and tell them the vehicle had been sold. |
