And they continue... I try to not answer... I get 3 or 4 in a row... all local.. and I assume from the same robo call... I have tried answering... not answering... blocking... but they keep coming back..... the worst part?... do these people really believe I am going to buy anything from them when they have to tell a lie to get me to answer the phone???????

I inquired a month ago about insurance

Gave them my phone number after they had asked me how I wanted the info (email)

Since then I've been getting 2-5 calls a day. I just don't answer when the number isn't in my contacts. If they really want to contact me they can leave a voicemail.

It's a simple but effective way that I started doing when phones first got caller ID

However, sometimes you get a partial Robocall message because the robocall computer (or whatsit) because they can't tell the difference between voicemail and a live person

Because secretly we hope those highschool sweethearts may be on the other side of the call!

Or maybe to drive us aqay from verbal conversations over the phone because it uses a factor of daya more than text when "They" are storing all of the communications occuring. And would like to funnel the search engines because compiters are too stupid to understand you unless frequently exposed.

The ones that really tick me off are the voice messages I get without my phone ever ringing. They completely bypass calling my phone and access my voicemail directly somehow. They don't even show up on my call log.

There’s an app called robokiller that for like $2/month (maybe less can’t remember ????) will stop them (or significantly reduce the number of calls you receive). I went from 14 robo calls per day to 1 every other day (some robo numbers aren’t in the apps database to prevent). It has a feature that will keep the robot on the phone for several seconds/minute so the robot is tied up and cannot call other people, thus reducing other people’s number of calls.

Someone needs to invent robosecretaries to screen all call before the phone even rings.

One option: if enough people set up answering robots, they will raise the cost for telemarketers.

Protip; leave the phone call open, mute it, and use your phone like normal, or if it’s a home phone, walk away. They aren’t allowed to hang up for a given amount of time, and after the company sees that you made the caller wait the max a few times with no conversation they stop calling.

I would really like someone to explain why it is that we can know they are doing illegal activity... and yet they continue...

They are,annoying . I just put the number on Auto Reject .

I get more robo calls per day on my cell than I get legitimate calls. Meanwhile I have registered with the do not call registry.

I received four robo calls today alone. A big problem robo calls are.
