I'd like a way to prompt callers to confirm it's a human before ringing my phone. "Please press one to continue your call or wait to be directed to voicemail".

I'd like a way to prompt callers to confirm it's a human before ringing my phone. "Please press one to continue your call or wait to be directed to voicemail". I do not want to give google control of my phone number though, so google voice is out. A native android app would be better.
Hell, tmobile should offer this as a free service.
- cheald 8y agoAndroid kind of does this (at least on my Pixel). It rings, but I have a "screen call" button that says "this person's using a screening service, tell us who you are and why you're calling". It answers the call and transcribes any response to text for me to read. If I want, I can pick up the phone. It's functionally just an answering machine, but it's well executed. Most spammers just bounce off as soon as it picks up.
