I have an auto text response that says, “Text me please”. If a call comes in that I don’t recognize, I hit the auto response.

It was time to upgrade so our new Panasonic landline phone has many known spam #s auto blocked and then it's ez to block incoming calls. Also identifies spam. A few still slip by but we've gone from 20 per day to a couple and somedays none.

Between wife and I about 3 a week.

Usually two or three a day, I guess. Sometimes none, sometimes it spikes to six or eight or more. I rarely answer my landline unless I am expecting a call on it. The odds that the call will be one that I want to take are slim; more people use my cell number. One thing for sure: I hate them. I think they should be outlawed.

The vast majority of the calls I get are illegal - all of my numbers are on the federal and state do not call lists. There’s just no real enforcement.

I get a half dozen or so a day. I wish there was a way to block them. I don't know why the cell phone companies don't block the spoofing technology outright.

I don't have a landline. The cell goes in spurts. I'll get none for a bit then have a short period where I get 3-4 every day then back to nothing.

At least a half dozen a day on the land line coordinated to be around lunch or supper.
Occasionally I answer and it seems to be a computer which if I want to screw w/ them, it then connects me to another animated system to enter the medicare info.

I know the exact call as when I answer, there's a little "sqwauck" noise before the fake person asks me how I'm doing. Then it asks about medicare and so on.
I'm thinking many Indians (dot) have lost their jobs to this animated system.

No landline . On my cell , about one or two a week .

Maybe 1 a week on my iPhone. Verizon may be filtering for me.

No landline, about 2 a month on cell.

Other than the one legit call with my primary care, I got 10 spam calls just today. I'm on some hit list because I angered several scammers from the same company.

They would call about final funeral expenses. I'd let them prattle on. I let them pass me from the robo call to a low level person who passes me to their "supervisor" who connects me with a licensed agent for my state. After all is said and done, I go, "I don't think so."

I was ready to pay for robo killer but I found that T Mobile has its own spam interceptor app. It works about 60% of the time.

Maybe this guy is on to something?
Beats me.

I have three different numbers forwarded from my desk phone to my cell phone, my caller ID only shows that my work is calling

About 2 to 15 a day

I told Peter AKA Mr. Patel to go fuck himself yesterday, he didn't like that

I get too many.

Get maybe 2 a day, all identified as "scam" so they they don't get answered and are deleted. occasionally, I'll get one with the caller location identified as "United States" Yeah right, not a chance in hell I'm answering that.

It used to be worse.

I dropped the landline several years ago, to save some money and because 90% of the incoming calls were robocalls. On my cell phone I average probably 3-5 per week. Most of them are flagged as "Likely Spam" and I just terminate them.

I haven't had a land line in eight years. It is very rare for me to get robo calls on my cell phone, my wife on the other hand gets a lot of such calls on her phone. We attribute it to her internet usage.

Cell only. I get at least 2 calls a day.

15-20 a day on the landline, our provider will label them as spam. Some are robocalls, some are from call centers, some are actual people that we should talk to but their caller id isn't set up right to let us know who they are.

We have friends here in Colorado that had their landline configured with a recording that asked the caller to press 1 to be connected. Robocalls can't do that. Only callers who had pressed 1 would ring through. I think it's genius, for those who still have landlines. I'm not sure what phone company these folks used - they just moved back to KC for better healthcare, but I'll ask.
