We all get those robocalls and they are annoying. Yes, if you look at Caller ID and don't recognize the number you don't answer - but the phone continues to ring.

A person told me of a FREE service called "nomorobo". I checked it out and it is compatible with Comcast - my landline. I installed it and it works like a charm. When a robocall comes in, the phone will only ring one time and then automatically disconnect the call. It does not affect "real" calls and is 100% free.

Their website and installation information is at nomorobo.com.

No, I am not a representative of the company. I like the service and thought I would pass it on to fellow Villagers.
This free "service" is absolutely the best thing that's happened to aggravating and unwanted phone calls...EVER! The national do not call list is a joke, but NOMOROBO works like a charm. Highly recommended.
