Unfortunately NOMOROBO does nothing for us because most all calls we get are spoofed calls with legit numbers and don't get blocked. I'm sure it may stop some but none of the kind we get. If I could find a way to block a specific area code or exchange that would eliminate probably 75% but the 1 or 2 apps that do that are no good for other reasons. I canceled NOMOROBO because FOR US it was useless.

I wonder what you mean by a legit number. Do you mean it comes through ID as someone you know and whose number you wouldn't want to block?
Otherwise... I was getting robo calls from Michigan (My cell has MI area code) every day, many times a day. My friend told me about the app "hiya" for cell phones. I installed the app. When a call comes that is ID'd by hiya as robo (or even if it isn't but I want to block the number), the app gives me the option to block.
What I found is that the robo callers simply changed telephone numbers once they were blocked. But I kept blocking and blocking, and the calls have all stopped.
You don't have to be with the cell phone to block a phone number. You can open the hiya app at any time, and it will list the calls you have received. Then you can block any of them that you want.
