They KNOW they’re spam calls. They KNOW the uncheckmarked numbers are not valid. So why the hell do they let these calls through? Anyone know?
I dont get any anymore
Some do depending on the carrier
Is this with your unknown caller option enabled?
I paid $50 for “Robokiller” for a year. The shit calls do not ring anymore.
Intercept? They facilitate them lol
Apple added a setting in iOS 17 that lets you block calls that the carrier marks as spam, but unfortunately it doesn’t actually work. It worked for maybe two beta builds over the summer, then it stopped and Apple hasn’t bothered to fix it.
Ayo, I don’t get spam risk written on unknown phone numbers on my iPhone 13 Pro. Is there some setting option to enable that?
It’s prob AT+T doing it. It JUST started. Now I don’t answer ANY phone calls. When it stops ringing I look at the number to see if I have to call back. Fucking pain in the ass- every day
The phone companies make a fraction of a penny for each one of these calls to facilitate the interconnection, that’s why it will never stop.
aren’t they required to develop systems to prevent this in order to keep CRTC licenses?
Pay your bills
T-Mobile offers an app for it.
I just answer and start saying racist shit if they have an Indian accent. Is that bad? Probably, but fuck em.
I did SO MUCH of that- ohhh the bad stuff I said. They start off all polite but when they hear me they turn into Satan. They’re all scumbags
I have a coworker that tries to have elaborate conversations with them. I don’t have that kind of patience.
Verizon’s call filter blocks anything that is suspected spam (if you set it so.) There is also a setting “Silence junk callers” that specifically silences “spam likely” (even without call filter.) I very rarely get a call that rings through. Check to see if your carrier has a spam blocking app.
Afaik you can tell them to block 3rd party calls automatically
Is your number on the Do Not Call list? You have to renew it every so often too.
Never cuz they suck!
