The most frustrating part about robo calls is they keep changing their number, so even if you block them, they just use a different number.

What would be nice is to have Apple have the ability not just to block a specific number, but also have a option to block an entire area code. I do notice a lot of these robo calls seem to use a generic area code.

Well that wouldn’t work for me because a lot of these Robo calls are spoofing real numbers and I’m getting a lot of Robo calls from my very own area code. So if tthey banished one area code then I’d be in a whole world of hurt.

My brother has also been getting a lot of robo calls with our local area code. We both have our numbers in the national database which is supposed to keep these companies from calling you, I don’t see it working very well.

Waiting for an important call today for someone recommended to me and I don’t have their phone number - they have mine and will be calling me.... So of course I’ve received 3 calls so far, and they were ALL robocalls... Smh 🤦*♂️
