Ours are definitely increasing. I am using the call blocker several times each day.

Thanks for this easy to understand explanation. I knew it had something to do with VOIP, but you've made it easy to understand.

Since answering those calls with a made up business name our calls have nearly stopped. I answer with a made up business name and ask how I can direct their call asking are your a vendor or a customer. It is illegal to call business numbers and some just hang up but many even say sorry I will remove this number from our call lists. In the past 2 weeks I only had 1 call as compared to the several a day I was getting in the past.

@Mz iMac,

What a clever idea! Surely one of my sons will figure out how to do it🌻

The CPR CallBlocker device is worth every cent I spent on it! I bought it several weeks ago when the Q had it as a TSV. It's the best thing ever! Life-changing. My landline hasn't rang but maybe once or twice in the past few days. I highly recommend it.

This is the thing that brought peace and quite to my house:

@Witchy Woman I had recently gotten that call blocker thing from QVC and plugged it in right away. Peace descended on my home - no calls. It was great - until I received a frantic e-mail from a friend wondering why my phone was dead and when she came by and knocked on my door there was no answer. So I unplugged the gadget and was able to make and receive calls again.

Now I have decided to just grin and bear it.

I have Nomorobo with Verizon Fios service.

after i registered my land line phone number on the do not call list. I got so many more spam calls. I just gave up and got an unlisted phone number, no one gets that phone number unless it is absolutely necessary. The robo calls have pretty much stopped, still get a few here and there. 24 calls in the past 12 months. We have a 5000 call blocker on our phone and am up to #24 . Most of the calls are for that medicare garbage stuff.

So this product blocks all calls?

@KingstonsMom You're probably right. I turned 65 in Dec. & the health care calls started in Oct. I still have a landlind, & rarely give out my cell#. If I don't know the number calling on either, I do not answer. Also, sign up on the do not call register www.donotcall.gov. It won't stop them all, but it does help. You can register landline +cell phones.

Oh man do I agree about turning 65. The do not call list is a waste anymore. The call blocker that Q sells has stopped most of my calls. Here is another tip---I called AARP/UNH Told them if they don't stop calling me for any reason, I am filing a harrasment charge against them. That did it, no more calls. It is not their job to do a heath assesment. That is why we have Dr.'s. If you tell someone not to call, and you know who it is, tell them by law , they are not allowed to call you anymore. I also filed a complaint about them filling up my mailbox with all their stuff. Now I only get mail if it is something important. AARP has been sending me garbage mail for at least 10 years and I always took my address off and put it in their postage free envelope and mailed it back. That didn't stop it.
