Have you experienced a recent dramatic increase in robocalls in the last 48 hours or so?
In the last two days I’ve received 10 robo calls… I know they are robo calls because they are all from my area code (which nobody I talk to uses) and all different numbers. No voice mail, no texts.
This is fairly rare, I usually get one or two a month, but not 10 in 48 hours.
Not in a huge inconvenience, none of them get past Google voice screening, I just see the missed call notifications constantly and it’s annoying.
Image from https://xkcd.com/1129/ used to illustrate the post.
I use an app that pretty effectively blocks anyone who isn’t on my contact list, I haven’t called/texted prior, or who doesn’t call 3x in 10 minutes in case of emergency.
I get zero robo calls anymore.
A non-FOSS solution is https://www.truecaller.com/. It’s super popular out here in India, works great.
