[Hidden-tech] Blocking robocalls on Android

[Scott Reed]

Comcast has a free robocall blocking service that works very well.

Thanks for helping to answer Marcia’s question – which seemed to be cell-phone specific. My challenge is the overwhelming number of robocalls and live calls to my desk phone (way more than my house phone gets or my cell phone). Yes, I still have more than just my cell phone <grin>. My desk (office) phone is tied to Vonage, if that makes a difference.

 

I know steps are being taken to lessen the number of calls we consumers receive, but it’s just taking a very long time. And for every “stop,” these folks find a new way to bug the heck out of us.

 

Any ideas? Caller ID does help, but enough is enough.

 

Thanks,

Karen

Thanks for this recommendation, Scott! I, too, have an android and will be looking into it. I use Mr Number, but it's hit/miss sometimes and lately some of these numbers that pop up (I don't answer the phone) don't even exist when I make attempts to call back from my work phone to see who it was. Literally, I get a recording telling me that the number is either not in service, or no longer in service.
