Blocking robocall phone numbers is pointless. A robocaller can use a different caller id on every call by "spoofing" their phone number. The only remedy is to not answer any call that is from an unknown number. If it is a legitimate call, the caller can leave a voice mail. Robocallers do not leave voice mail.

I now just don't answer the phone unless i know who it is, they only let it ring 4 times so that it doesn't go to the answering machine. We have gone from 7 to 10 per day down to 1 call every couple days and none on the weekend so I guess they only try it so many times. Cell phone is a different story, still get a lot of them on my cell.

If you have an iPhone you can set it to ring only if the person is in your contacts list. I also created a contact named "Spammer". I have that contact blocked. Then I just add any number I don't want to that contact.
