I’m starting to get several in a row around 5 each day.
Never answered and later blocked.
If you’re not in my white list (family, friends, doctors, hospitals, police, fire, etc.) you’re instantly blocked. If anyone wants to get a hold of me they have to do the request face-to-face or with email to be added to my white list.

The YouMail.com app is very good at filtering calls and makes a credible transcription, if the caller leaves a message.
I really want a “WHITE LIST.”
If the caller is NOT in my contacts list, then zap the cold callers and the ones from who-knows-where.

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 get ten a day easily. I used to use the voicemail to screen calls but my most recent solution is just turn the phone off when I am not using it. Telemarketers have turned the phone into an almost unusable tool.
I think robocallers have seen this story and are cranking it up to 11 as they know their time is running out.
