I have tried several call blocking apps, and they seem to work for awhile, but then they stop working. Also, Google Assistant touts a feature by which they block numbers from your spam list. I know that this does not work because telemarketers use a different number every time they call. The "do not disturb" option totally eliminates telemarketing calls because it only allows the phone to ring when you have an incoming call from your contacts list. All other callers are routed to voicemail, and you are not disturbed until you decide to check your voicemail app.
