Robocalls are more than just a nuisance; they are a major invasion of privacy. Here is a comprehensive guide to reducing them.
Register on the Do Not Call Registry
While not a silver bullet, registering your number on the National Do Not Call Registry is a necessary first step.
Use Call Blocking Apps
Carriers and third-party apps offer robust call-blocking features. Apps like Hiya, tailored for spam detection, can be very effective.
Enable "Silence Unknown Callers"
On iPhone and Android, you can send calls from numbers not in your contacts directly to voicemail. This is extreme but highly effective.
