Question

What call blocker do you use?

Jul 29, 2016 11:02AM PDT

I didn't have my new smart phone 1hr. before I got a call from someone even before I started using it myself. Of course no one else I knew had my new number. It only gets worse as time goes by. I didn't know it would be so bad at times, but I've installed a free call-blocker app. There are many, so I hope the one I've chosen works great and provides the services it promotes as times goes by. Don't you love it to be reached by "unknowns". TIA

Answer
there are lots of good apps

it may be better to get an app to auto block and/or identify spam callers. When I was looking for an app, I looked for one that will identify spam callers and tell what they were calling about from other users who reported it. I made sure it would send a notification to the phone letting me know if it was a known spammer.
