Been experiencing robocalls too. I use Hiya, but it's not a complete solution. Now I just let every call I don't recognize go to voicemail unless they call twice. It really sucks for the elderly, the sick, and the otherwise vulnerable because they're more desperate to hear from a doctor or caretaker or somebody without saved contact information / less technically savvy or on a landline / otherwise more likely to fall to these scams.
I'm wondering, is VoIP easier to call block than general call service? If it is, the inability or unwillingness by the telecoms to address this issue might prove to be a systemic disadvantage (though I'm pretty sure they make most of their margin nowadays from selling cellular data).
- CedarMadness 8y agoI used to do what you do and let the call through if they call back. Sometime in the past year I've gotten on some autodialer list that will hit me up 6 times within a 30 second period if I reject the first call, so now I pretty much have to send anyone not in my address book straight to voicemail. It's not convenient, but at least I don't have to conduct a lot of business over the phone anymore.
