I keep blocking them on my iPhone and they keep using another number:
917-615–0325
917-615–0543
917-615–0231
917-615–0700
917-615–0376
917-615–0679
917-615–0985
917-615–0509
917-615–7696

Verizon Call Filter catches none of these. I had used nomorobo when I had a landline but never put the paid service on my cellphone. Anyone use it or know of anything else that will stop these calls?

Every week I get less of the calls saying to call 714-694-7603 for ROOFING.

I found and use the setting, 'Silent unknown callers'

Works well, if you are not in my contact list, voicemail option only.

I had that set previously but I wound up missing an important call I needed to receive from the gas company so I removed it. Sometimes you need to receive a call from a number not in your contacts that would be considered an unknown caller.

There's an app named Wide Protect that allows you to block any number with the same area code and prefix. I've had it on my iPhones for several years, I bought after I got 17 calls just like your calls, it worked, calls stopped. Good thing I don't know anybody with that area code and prefix.

Thanks Bill Sounds like what I need. I’ll check it out.

I tried (and liked) Wide Protect shortly after it came out. It did just what I was hoping to do since many of my spoofed calls were the same area code and exchange as mine. Unfortunately, so is my wife's number. I was unable to add it to any kind of "safe" list, so that was that.

I'll be interested to hear whether than has been squared away. Good luck. It's a great idea.

I'd never heard of Wide Protect until now:
[apps.apple.com]

Looks very interesting. Love the price:269, which I initially thought was dollars, until I realized it was rupees, equatable to around $4.

I think I'm going to try this out. I really hate the number of robo calls I get. Like others have noted, I miss customer calls if I turn on the iPhone's "Silent unknown callers" option, although I do periodically just to give myself a break from the asshats.

JoeM,

I use Silence Unknown Callers all of the time. I do turn it off when I am expecting as call from a party not in my Contacts. That period lasts for a day or two at the most, and I don't bother blocking the spammers during that time. When the call is received, I turn SUC back on immediately. The spammers normally give up after a month, but there are always new nasties to take their place.

I think I will just put an OUT OF ORDER
sticker on my head and call it a day.

I used google voice to get an area code from somewhere I never lived. I know any call from that area code is a scammer.

I have done that also. When I do allow the calls through, that's when IU have fun and try to get the spammers to swear at me.I know it doesn't do any good, but it is fun and makes me happy.

I just bought WideProtect and set up the spammer numbers. Hopefully I'll be saying adios to this PITAs.

Hmmm... seeing this WideProtect app, it's tempting, but... do you all feel comfortable with your phone call data going to a country that's apparently counting currency in rupees?

I did some searching and didn't turn up any negative reviews or concerns in all the reviews and posts I read. I installed it late yesterday and received no spam calls today from the previous annoyers so I'm hoping it will continue to be usable.
