Spam calls and texts

[Hunt eat repeat]

Is anybody using a service to scrub your info from call lists and such? I run a business and I literally can’t answer my phone because of the majority of calls I get are spam. Same with texts.

The new iPhone update has a feature if a caller is not in your contact list they have to say their name before it will ring through. Enabling that has cut out a ton of spam calls for me.

Any one I care to talk to has a ID I set up. If I don't recognize the caller, I don't answer. If they want to leave a message, which they never do, and it's something of importance I might call them back, might being the key word.

I have very few phone spams. I don't give my # to anybody except friends and family. I block every spam call and txt. I give the same fake # (an old land line # that is long disconnected) to web sites that demand a #. I give my email for 2nd level authentication, but any business that requires phone or text for that, I just don't do business with them. It is ridiculous how many businesses, utilities and service providers are spammers or sell phone numbers to spammers.

Problem is I have to advertise with my number attached. I don’t answer my phone and just let it go to VM and customers leave a message but I hate being the guy that never answers his phone.

I fairly recently got a new Cell phone (not an I phone). I had the same issue with my old phone, just not as bad as you (the OP). My new phone came with a call screener and it works for over 95% of junk calls, I am very pleased with the call screener. You may need to upgrade your phone.
