🤖 🚫 Die, robocalls, die 🤖 🚫 A how-to guide to stop spammers and exact revenge.
Just make it stop. By Geoffrey A. Fowler Geoffrey A. Fowler Technology columnist based in San Francisco Email Bio Follow Technology columnist April 4 at 3:26 PM “Call me, maybe?” is on the brink of becoming “Call me, never.”
In a robocall deathmatch, speed matters. And one free app was, on average, faster at adding bad guys to its blacklist. You may have heard recently that the biggest carriers pledged to support new network technology with a James Bond name — STIR/SHAKEN — that will help identify the true origin of calls. That’s a good thing to help stop all those spoofed calls, but there’s still a lot to work out before it might make a noticeable difference.
Verizon: Download an app called Verizon Call Filter, available now for iPhones and coming in a few weeks for Android. As of last week, Verizon stopped charging for basic service, which labels suspected robocalls and gives you three options based on risk level for how many to block. If you pay $3 per month, you’ll also get caller ID.
Verizon offers a free service that blocks robocalls, but you have to download its Call Filter app and turn on the protection. Round 3: Get a robocall-blocking app. If your carrier isn’t squashing enough spam, independent apps offer a few tricks of their own. However, they’re not all effective, and they might be after the personal data on your phone.
My favorite part: YouMail tries to trick known robocallers into taking you off their lists by playing them the beep-beep-beep sound of a dead line.
