I'd really love to have a uBlock Origin/AdBlock type of program to maintain my phone's calling number blacklist.
eg: If more than X Android users block a number it should block automatically for everyone.
Guessing the blacklist must not be accessible via the Android/iOS APIs or this would already exist.
- tyingq 10y agoThis kind of scam, though, works just fine if they change their phone number every day, hour, or minute...and with VOIP, there's little added cost or complexity to do so. There really needs to be something for phone numbers similar to rfc2827 for ip spoofing. Or, better still, a reliable way to map a phone number to a legal entity.

- habosa 10y agoOn Nexus/Pixel phones the Google dialer app seems to do this. Many calls for me now show up as "suspected spam caller" and after I answer a call from a number I've never seen before the phone asks "was that spam?".
