We have AT&T mobile and Magic Jack VOIP. We never get a telemarketing call on Magic Jack, but occasionally on our mobile, the same number will call for a couple weeks (we don't answer), then stop, then another number will call. I'd love to be able to report these numbers. I thought they were spoof numbers, though, in that "they" would simply switch to another caller ID number.

The Spectrum system does not require any reporting, but it does let a bunch of calls through.

The AT&T system is much more sophisticated. You download an app called Call Protect. The app is updated frequently with new numbers to block. Once a number has been reported enough the app automatically blocks that number. Your phone will not even ring if that number should call you.

Call Protect also allows an individual to block any call that comes for 30 days. If you think a call is spam you can report it and your report is added to the number's profile. The app is free.
