“Some of the methods that people use to deal with these, such as blocking and reporting, are ineffective because the caller ID is fake,” MacMost reports. “However, ignoring them, using custom ringtones, or using services from your mobile network can help alleviate the problem.”

For fee, of course, because AT&T doesn’t get enough of my money.
I use RoboKiller. it’s a paid app but is very effective for taking care of robo callers, and spammers. My phone doesn’t even ring when RoboKiller detects a spammer or robo call. I just receive a notification saying RoboKiller has handled a robo call or spam caller.
I just don’t answer if they’re not in my address book. They can leave a message if it’s that important. If it’s spam, I’ll block the number and eventually they run out of numbers to call me.
almost 10 BIILLION numbers to block, then you are set to go.
Mr. Number app has worked great. It’s free also.
I’ve been using AT&T Call Protect for about a month and spam calls have dropped nearly nothing. Pretty good for a free app.
Nothing from Optus in Australia…typical!
