We use no more robocalls on our two land lines. Zero pollsters have gotten through since we started using no more robocalls, 2 plus years ago.”

ditto. and i also have a white list to let those through I want, and a catchall filter that shunts the rest to an interactive voice response of me explaining how to press 1 if you want to talk with me. that little baby stops the rest cold.

And i’m building my own block list of numbers that routes them to a “this number is no longer in service” message followed by the related ‘Special Information Tones’ (S.I.T.)tone, which robocaller equipment will respond to by deleting your number from its lists. Now that has REALLY cut down on the junk calls as the word gets out that my number has been disconnected!

Some bad ones sneak through, usually local ones, and I put them on a call forwarding list.

Their calls get forwarded to the local DA’s office to report scams. They never call again.
