Agreed. I float 2-4x/month and can confirm that I sleep way better and generally have an increase in mood. I'd highly recommend it.

Reminds me of the “How I made $290,000 Selling Books” joke -

How would you treat calls where it's a sound board controlled by a human? Human or bot?
If there's a way to get around the system, these guys will figure it out.

A better analogy that I use (especially with nontechnical folks) is the return address on an envelope.
You can, technically, write anything in it and there’s no way to guarantee it’s authentic.

Thanks! I really appreciate the support. These voice spam calls have gotten out of control.

We (Nomorobo) have a bunch of recordings of this type of scam. They're scary.

PureText does exactly that. Been using it for years and swear by it.

Especially since it loses the extra “O”. At least that’s how I remember the correct spelling.

Happy to talk about the landline product. Just for clarification, the mobile product works completely differently.
1. Yes, pretty much. Here's a more in-depth answer to what happens when the call is answered - http://www.6083716666.com/
2. Yes, we do get a log of the incoming calls. We use that to analyze the high frequency calling patterns across millions of phone lines and build the blacklist. The more people that contribute, the better the algorithm gets.
3. We globally manage the whitelist and good robocalls (school closings, pharmacies, doctors offices, etc)
4. We don't work with POTS lines yet. The older technologies are tougher to protect than the modern ones.

Even with all these high profile settlements, it's still not stopping the problem.
Just today, we (Nomorobo) see 25 different numbers pushing Windows tech support scams. It's like that every. single. day.
