...software that detects high frequency calling patterns, and answers any robo-generated number calling, and hangs up before people have to deal with it.And the price was right: "Nomorobo costs nothing to install on your landline."
It doesn't block all spam or marketing calls - just the ones that are computer-generated. But we are delighted with the result. In the afternoon and evenings our phone will occasionally ring once. Then stop. And without even the annoyance of a message on the answering machine. I don't know of any downside.
Here's the company's website.
Nomorobo is great. I signed up several months ago and love it! No downsides that I can see.
ReplyDeleteWe get automated calls from the pharmacy that our prescriptions are ready. Do you think it blocks those as well?
ReplyDeleteSG, I can't offer a definitive answer, but I do know that I have continued to receive automated calls from my discount broker since installing Nomorobo.
DeleteTHANK YOU for posting this. I set it up yesterday. This morning I received 2 robocalls from the same number. Each time the phone rang once, just long enough for the number to register on the caller ID ("toll free call") and then it stopped.
ReplyDeleteI can attest that it works with A T & T Uverse phone service. It does NOT work with Tracfone cell service, but I have that covered with an Android call-blocking app.
