- Consultant32452 7y agoThere's apps you can pay a service fee to have them do the spam filtering that comes free on the Pixel. RoboKiller is like $3/mo. For a free alternative, you could route all your calls through Google Voice. You can transfer your current # to GV and then forward your GV calls to your new number that you don't have to even know beyond configuring call forwarding. GV has spam filtering, call screening, and lots of other useful features. Dunno how/if it would mess up your texting app though.
- fossuser 7y agoI pay for and use Robokiller and it sucks, about 30% of spam calls are blocked. I used GV for a long time, but abandoned it once I learned Google was silently dropping group chat messages (without telling the sender) because they let their gizmo5 purchase languish with no dev work for years and never implemented MMS (this was a couple of years ago). Google had such a head start with GV, but did nothing with it and let iMessage catch up and pass them. If there's something that I find completely puzzling about Google it's their disaster around messaging strategy. It's also frustrating to me that all of these mediocre blacklisting applications (robokiller, hiya, nomorobo) only exist as hacks because neither iOS or Android allowed the obvious contact whitelist ability. Though it sounds like in iOS13 this may finally be changing.
