How do I block robocalls so that I don't even hear them?

[filops]

I get one or two dozen calls a day from an ever-shifting succession of phone numbers. Sometimes they leave blank voicemails. As a rule, if I do pick up, there is just dead air for 45 seconds then disconnect.

I would like to block these entirely so that they do not ring on my phone. That is really why I got this application. It would do no good to add each number to a block list, because there are constantly new numbers and I don't get calls twice from the same number as a rule.

How do I do this?

Hi! What area codes are these phone numbers? You can block those area codes.

Well, most are from my own area code, so that won't work. But thanks.

The app also has an option to Block everything except contacts. It is not suitable for everyone, but it is very effective!

Hm. Thanks, Oliver! But then if I got a legit call from a doctor or someone whose number I don't have in my Contacts, I wouldn't get it at all? What would they hear? Would they be able to leave a voicemail, and would I be notified of it? Otherwise, it does sound like an extreme move in the other direction.

When you receive a call from an unknown phone number, the caller is directed to voicemail and can leave a message for you. If you have this service enabled, of course.
