It seems like I am getting more and more robocalls. There are a couple apps out there that are supposed to help block calls. I am looking at AT&T Call Protect. Has anyone used this app? Any recommendations on a good robocall screening/blocking app? | ||

Yes, i use the free version AT&T offers, in conjunction with "Do not disturb" feature on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Active and my wife's S6 Active. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

I use it and it does a good job. But, with auto robo calls, a new number will be generated and call your phone. You will have to every once and a while put the newer numbers added to Call Protect. But it blocks annoying calls and notifications at least. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

I use Mr Number App, when a call comes in it will show spam, political or other type based on users reporting back to the app. It has helped a lot. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Pretty much any number that shows up that's not in my directory gets blocked. Have an iPhone 6s... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Before the days of blocking calls, I used a very simple approach. I set the default ring tone to two seconds of silence as I found that MP3 on the inter-web. I set all members in my call list to some audible ring tone. I never knew about, or gave a rat's ass, about any silent ring tone calls. “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – Barack Hussein Obama, January 23, 2009 | |||

I've a similar approach. I have recorded a message that states if they cannot leave a voicemail that my service will block their number...and I do. Been doing this for awhile now and have weeded out many of those "seller calls" They're getting a little more creative now, or just to get back at me but, I had a call at 2am the other night and my caller ID displayed my phone number!! Those buggers  Regards, Will G. | |||

We use it here. It works for the *known* calls. However, a lot of the robocalls are spoofing caller ID and match the first 6 digits of my cell phone to make it appear like a call from my area. The last 4 digits appear to be random so flagging them as SPAM is like playing whack-a-mole. I've gotten to the point of if I don't recognize the number, I'm not answering. | |||

I use it and I think it works pretty good. Calls that do get through I block using the Samsung call features, and then I manually block the number. Blocked x 2. | |||
