I've been getting over a dozen rando calls a day. Basically have had to put my phone on permanent DnD and then allow my contacts to bypass. No more!

This app is successfully blocking those annoying virtual numbers via STIR attestation.

Unfortunately it doesn't fully block SMS. It blocks the notifications, but they still appear in your SMS app needing to be manually deleted.

Its not simple at all. The vast majority of spam calls I get are from legitimate institutions that I'm sure would pass whatever a STIR is.

Its great that your insurance providers can call you, what's to stop an insurance provider who is not yours from calling you?

A legitimate caller for one person can often be a spam caller for 100 other people. That's why there exists no way to possibly differentiate one spam caller from another.

If my insurance provider calls me from an unknown number, they leave a voicemail and I call them back later, or send them an email.

    Well mine aren't!

    Cool. To each their own.

    Legitimate business will generally respect the do Not call list. I don't have any problem with that. I don't get any fucking calls from actual fucking businesses trying to call me with an actual number I can call back and I don't get out of service errors.

    How much more of my time would you like to waste with your stupidity? Blocked.
