If the call comes in on a legitimate number it gets blocked. Of course they'll use another number next time. It gets blocked too. If the ID says unknown it gets ignored anyhow. I think I've blocked about 17 bogus callers on my cell phone now


As I stated, one can have *some* success blocking unwanted calls, but
the technology for callers has advanced, too, and callers have a way of
masking their actual phone numbers and even their countries of origin.

I do manage to block most robocalls and a lot of spam calls and in fact
can block the phone from ringing on most of them, but the methodology to
do this is far from perfect. I also block callers who hide their phone
numbers in addition to not answering most callers who don't supply a
caller ID. I figure that anyone trying to reach me who doesn't get their
call answered and doesn't leave a voicemail message isn't worth
bothering with...
