I'm on Google Fi and get car warranty calls all the time.
The only technique that works is to not answer the phone unless it's from a known contact. Most spam stuff won't leave a message, or it will be a consistent ~4 seconds of silence. Fi (or Android? IDK) has a call screening function which 9/10 if I send something to it, they will hang up before the automated preamble finishes.
- brandonhorst 5y agoGoogle Fi and Google Voice are not the same thing - Fi has no such built-in protection.
- aesh2Xa1 5y agoI think they do have the same feature, despite being different services. In fact, I believe that the call screen service is offered even on any Pixel phone, regardless of carrier (Google Fi). https://support.google.com/voice/answer/9262934 https://support.google.com/voice/answer/9262934 https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387 https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387
- samstave 5y agoI think we need an automated Invoice Filing System for "warranty calls" billed directly to the auto companies. In addition to the Hilton and Marriott Hotel Chains for their "You recently stayed at the [Hotel]" calls... I was an elite member at Marriott for years, and I am convinced that my numbers were released in their breaches.
