I work at RoboKiller.com I've always thought the way to battle this problem is to waste the callers time. The longer you keep them on the phone, the more expensive and less profitable their robocall operation becomes. With enough people doing this, it could slow them down. At RoboKiller we intercept the call so it doesn't ring your phone or go to voicemail. Instead what happens is we answer the call on our end and proceed to waste the callers time by tricking them into thinking they're talking to a human. Its really funny actually. We send you the recording when we're finished. A couple weeks ago we reached a point where the top robocallers caught on to what we were doing. It was a proud moment for all of us. You can listen for yourself... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi-qtTuO9rY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi-qtTuO9rY

I worked as a telemarketer for a month or so (couldn't handle it). By federal law we are required to remove you from our list if you request it. Though most don't, and management actively discourages putting people on the DNC list. You can report them to the FCC though. Also, pressing "0" on legit telemarketers usually takes you to a rep or automatically puts you on the DNC.

never have I had a stronger "shut up and take my money" moment. I noticed that you only have a ios app at the moment. Any plans on supporting android?

  Here's an honest answer... we definitely want to support Android, but we don't have the resources to do it right.

  Nope never. The app will ask for contacts permission so that we don't accidentally block someone in your contacts. Thats done entirely on the client side. Your contacts never leave the app.
