Just last week, 8,251 people got Nomorobo protection!

I work nights and would often be woken during the day by continuous calls from Telemarketers. Some would call 4-6 times one after the other. Often 12-15 unanswered calls a day. They were relentless. Since the day I activated Nomorobo my house has been at peace. Now when the phone rings, I actually answer it.

What a blessing during the recent political campaign!!! It is also useful for senior related calls such as home security and "I just fell and can't get up" scare tactics. I recommend to everyone who complains about robocalls.

—

Very seldom receive Robo call since signing up for this service. I report every Robo call I receive,that gets through, that ends that caller getting hold of me.

—

Nomorobo is a first class service and very easy to use. I recommend it to all my friends.

—

The system is blocking 90% of the unwanted calls.

NOMOROBO has done a splendid job of blocking these idiots even when they spoof numbers. They are relentless! I have thanked you in the past and again expressing my appreciation for this service. When these calls get through by spoofing numbers we report them and you block them until they start using another number. The credit card people actually spoofed my own phone number as their identity to get me to pick up. I get 4 or 5 calls per day that NOMOROBO blocks at an 80% or better rate.

—

Love it, it stops about 10 calls a day. Saved us from just cancelling our home phone which is still considered.

—

It forwards the robo call after three rings. I wish I didn't have to hear any rings.
