Blocking doesn’t work. These robocallers can use any number they like. I must have blocked 100 numbers. Their calls can appear to be from your local prefix. I’ve even received calls from myself.

You’re not ‘blocking’ these robocallers when you block a number. They just change the ‘spoofed’ number and call again. In effect, you’re blocking a number that did not call. You’re chasing your tail.

I’ve set my phone to “Do Not Disturb” with an exception to accept calls from my contacts list. If you’re not on my contacts list, you go to voice mail. If you’re on my contacts list, I receive your call.

I have told this to people but they just don’t get that blocking does no good. I’m with you. Do Not Disturb all the way.
