Being an old codger, I may be late to the game, but if you use AT&T, there is a way to stop robocalls (calls from unidentified parties).
Simply dial *77#.
To undo dial *87#.
It works!
You can also put your phone on "Do Not Disturb".
*78# (Caller gets a busy signal)
You will thank me with the upcoming election season approaching.

Thanks Bob. I personally don't have AT&T, however know someone who does. Just wondering if anyone else out there has tried this? Just thinking it might block something important...dunno.

Android phone has a block number feature. Can block number as its ringing or later from the call log. For home phone bought a phone (Panasonic) that has call number blocking.

My previous landline phone would only block 100 numbers and I filled that up in 5 months. I turned 65 and every insurance company in the nation was calling me.
New phone will block 200 numbers, sometimes I enter 3 or 4 a day.
