    When it was introduced to Android years ago, I regained a lot of my sanity. Prior to it, I was seriously considering just disabling the phone function and sending everything to rot in voicemail. I can’t remember the last time an actual spam call got through the invisible screening process.

      having voicemail also confirms there’s a human which gets you thrown back on the lists.

        As does screening or answering. There’s no way around that unless you just don’t plan to ever use your phone as a phone.

          More people need to understand this. It doesn’t matter what you do, they will keep trying. Ignore, or pay it forward and waste their time. haha
