Anyone know of a phone that can block spam calls?

CANDLEQUEEN · ‎03-09-2010

I need something for my landline phone, as I get calls every day at least 5-6 times a day from different numbers but all from the same company claiming to be a loan company..

They start calling at 730am until at leastm 7pm....It is so annoying, we tried not answering, but they leave voice messages-all computer generated of course, we have actually answered after so manyn calls and said please stop we are not interested.

They still call.....If anyone knows of anything we can do to eliminate this, all suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!!!!

I know ATT has call block but I'm not sure how many numbers you can block especially if they keep calling in on different numbers. Someone once told me to leave my fax machine on and eventually they would get the message and stop calling.

We also still have a landline in addition to our cell phones because my husband retired from the phone company and we get a free landline. We purchased Panasonic cordless phones from Amazon and there is a button in the middle that says “block call”. If it’s a spam call, we just push the call block button and they can never call back again. We can even block calls if they’ve left a message on our voicemail. I love this feature and we have used it considerably.

My VOIP phone marks SPAM calls on the screen. But sometimes I don't have my glasses on, and miss the notification.

Yesterday, I accidentally picked up a spam call...and it was "the lady from Social Security" (with the thick accent) wanting personal info from me.

My panasonic does it but not on its own, I have to hit call block. If a call comes in that comes up as Suspected Robo I press call block, if I answer it and it's a call center I then hit 'Call Block' button. They cannot get thru again.

The Panasonic Model is: KXTGF 382M but iit is several years old.

Spam blocking phones work only part of the time. Spammers use software to change their numbers all of the time so if you block one number then they will call using another number. It's an uphill battle.

I got rid of my landline and I still get some on my cell phone. Endless war. No idea where the permanent kill switch is.

@CANDLEQUEEN - I know it drove me crazy when we had our landline all day long but we got rid of our landline last year because we couldn't find a reasonably price basic plan.

I thought there was a code or something that you enter. I hope you find a solution
