Spam Call/SMS blocker

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.

Legitimate business will generally respect the do Not call list.

LOL what universe are you from?

You replied to me to argue about a feature I mentioned and you didn’t even use, and I’m the stupid one?
