Thank you for the suggestions...had not thought of just leaving my phone on do not disturb! That is a good idea!

Oh heavens yes! My phones are on Do Not Disturb all the time. Just be sure to select the settings option to let people in your contacts through.

 

Too bad most people ignore this feature, which is already built in and taking up space in their phone.

@LTT1, I'm a Tracfone user and continuously get texts and voicemails (they somehow manage to bypass calling me) from Verizon. I have called and texted them back telling them I'm on a DNC list, loathe Verizon and they need to stop harrassing me. It doesn't end! With all of the nonsense our government wants to regulate and be involved with, they need to get serious about this, and crack down on scammers and spammers. With all of the technology how hard can it really be?

@LTT1

 

Ues.  I am angered beyond belief.  As I told you on other posts on this subject, this has to do with lifting the internet privacy act last year.  Went into effect late january, earlt feb this year.  I am also getting triple, if not more telemarketer rings.  I blocked the limit, and had to start over in January.  I now am at -almost 500 blocked calls.

Not that one, but we do receive calls on our land line and cell phones.

 

You see, the "Do Not Call" list is a "feel-good" federal government sham designed to make you think you're protected when you're really not.  There is no follow-up by the government on individual complaints.  They merely look for "trends" and "consistent call complaints" before they'll take action.  We've had all of our phone numbers on that list since it was invented and we still get all kinds of calls.

There is an app called robokill that will stop the spam calls. Also robofence helps, too.
