How about you, have you noticed a reduction in spam calls?
No reduction YET. I have over 550 BLOCKED numbers on my phone, but keep getting calls drom Medicare Rewards, car warranty company and Solar company. I have a “spam blocker” on my phone, so it doesn’t actually ring. My outgoing message on my phone is: “Thank you for calling, if you are calling from Medicare Rewards, what do you think your mother would think about you scamming seniors? If you are calling from anywhere else, please leave a message and I will call you back.” It doesn’t work though, because when they call and my phone answers and starts the message, I will be talking to a robot voice. About 350 of my blocked numbers are from that company. They must have unlimited numbers to call from.
