Stuff it’s more confident about gets blocked outright. I think they’re automating what they’d do if you went into your account and manually blocked a number.
- rconti 9y agoI already have a /dev/null contact with a silent ringer but the telemarketers (especially the neighbor dialing) almost never uses the same number twice. Still hopeful the ATT app helps though.
- mikeash 9y agoTheir list automatically updates based on whatever mysterious processes happen in their end, so it should be an improvement over manually blocking numbers after you get a spam call. Hopefully it will help a little bit. It's definitely not a cure, but we have to take what we can.
