ATTENTION ANYONE WITH AN IPHONE

Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers

Calls from unknown numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed on the Recents list. Incoming calls will continue to ring from people in your contacts, recent outgoing calls, and Siri Suggestions.

I haven't had a robocall in weeks since this update came out.

I get 5 or so a day, hang up immediately so not sure what they actually are


I don't even answer my phone when I see area codes I'm not familiar with and if someone's name that is in address book doesn't pop up with the call.

If it's important, they'll leave a message and I'll call them back, but 9 out of 10 calls are bullshite to begin with.

I would like to do this, but being in sales, I never know who might be calling. I got one of the calls on Tuesday and the ID said Jennings, LA. I had just made some calls in that area last week, so I had high hopes. Then this Bull*&)* telling me I will be arrested.

Yep. I actually downloaded the beta version before the real iOS came out because of that feature.

It is awesome. No ringing, but I do get a notification of a missed call and they can leave a voicemail. Not many leave a VM.

I still use an AL area code and have been in NC for 10 years. If anything besides my local area code calls I send it to voicemail.

If only these Bangladeshis could pay an American or 2 to help them out with authenticity. "Eric" just seems a bit off for a man who cannot pronounce "thirty" very well.
