Are they all from your home area code? I got an app that lets you block every number in a range (straight to voicemail)
They mostly are. Occasionally I'll get a few that are from the next area code over, even less occasionally I'll get them from completely different states.
It would be my luck that blocking a range of numbers would block something important.
Your contacts can call normally, anyone else has to leave a message if they want attention.
Usually the DIDs they use are from blocks where the first 3 numbers after the area code are different than the blocks that are handed out by telecoms to landlines and cellphones. You might be able to filter by those numbers as well.
Not in America. Dude, same. I get 2,3 spam calls a day, sometimes like 6. It's so annoying.
For what's worth, I registered for the FCC's do not call registry way back and it helped a bit - but once you're registered, if you get spam calls, you can report the numbers to the FCC for having called you despite being on the registry. YMMV but it might be worth a shot!
I stopped getting those once I got rid of my +1 number. For some reason even after 6 years my +31 doesn't get them.
I thought it was just me! The fuckers have literally been filling my voicemail to the max and I have to delete it all every day.
I’ll just pick up the call and immediately mute my microphone. That way at least I don’t get the voicemail.
same, i have google screen most of them and it still sucks
