I’ve received 14 spam calls today all before 3:30pm.

I have unknown numbers silenced but it’s still ridiculous the amount of spam calls I get. Anyone else get this many?

I wish there was something that could be done to stop these a-holes.

It is what the Indians are doing now that they aren't enrolling in American schools.

Turn off unknown callers. On iOS, if someone isn't in your contact list it won't ring the first time, it'll prompt the caller to prove they aren't a robot.

If I'm bored and they ask me if I'm the business owner, I'll say "yes" and then let them read their long arse script and let the phone just sit there.

Just answer one and say "Pakistan it #1, and India is really dumb. " That seem to stop them for a while and gets them really angry. I had a lady tell me to go F myself.

I have Robokiller. Does a good job blocking them.

They keep trying but I don't know until I check the log.

Ground Up solar is relentless. They start at 8:30 am and go one throughout the day.

I was getting 20-25 spam calls everyday for months. I silenced unknown calls which helped, but it was still aggravating because they showed up as missed calls. Finally I downloaded AT&T ActiveArmor a few months ago. It has blocked probably 95% of the calls i was getting.

I used it until they tripled their prices. Turning off unknown callers made it mostly unnecessary. I also got my ten year old phone number taken from me by an old job, which also helped a lot.

iPhone automatically filters them out now… haven’t gotten one in months

I installed an AT&T app to block spam calls and since installing the app they have dropped about 95%.

They love it when you sign up for that. It verifies you have a live person at that number.
