How do i block call center calls - Burnzy - May 21, 2024
I have a call center all up my ass for 2 months now. I cant block them because their numbers keep going from 1 to 100. First 5 numbers are always the same. How can i set a range of numbers to block?

If you use android you have the option to block all spam numbers automatically
1- Open the Phone app on your device.
2- Tap the more options icon (three dots). Then tap Settings > Spam and Call Screen.
3- Turn on or off Caller ID and spam protection. Then tap Block numbers > toggle on Block spam and scam calls.
Also you can opt in here donotcall[.]gov if you are in the US

Why dont u block them one after one? Mass blocking may makenu miss some important calls

Yeah the existing services offer a paid service, because these centers are always adapting. You could pay for call screening, block areas, etc. but they all have their downsides.

I’m in the same exact boat. I get an abundance of calls a day. I block the numbers, have a spam shield app, and they still get through.

As a matter of fact, this is also the only resolution I can think of as this is what I also do for persistent daily bullshit who keep advertising online casino games with referral code and are very persistent.

not much you can do unless the operator blocks them
could be spoofed numbers as well

Yep, they pick numbers that are in the same "area" as you and spam the life out of your phone.

If you are on Android.
Use Tasker and use the taskernet protocol for Truecaller. The Dev and I have worked together to perfect it so you don't need truecallers battery draining app.
Example, most call centers use 2-3 VOIP providers, so I have them blocked thus any calls from those three providers can't ever get to me, I can whitelist specific ones if need be.

Man I used to get so many of these calls on my phone. I've noticed that by just letting it ring and not declining the call or answering it makes them stop. Not sure how that works, but it does! I rarely get one a week now and used to get like 5 every day

Maybe your data is out there and you need it deleted off the internet using incogni.com
