Just last week, 8,265 people got Nomorobo protection!

Fantastic ! We have a 98% reduction in calls. No more unwanted messages !

It really works! I have a handicap husband so I still need a landline as a backup for my cell. Nomorobo stops over 75% of calls on our landline with that "one ring", Thanks.

My husband and I love Nomorobo. We were so tired of answering calls and no one was there or if we were lucky enough to be the first to answer, we really didn't want the call.Due to having MS getting to the phone can be hard at times.Thank you!!!!

I an on the do not call list, but it hasn't stopped the robos. Why don't you turn these people in to the do not call list and reap the fines for yourself??? If you need my permission, you have it.

I think it has helped, but quite a few numbers (including Gallup) get through with a single ring, which is less annoying than talking to them, but very annoying, nonetheless because these callers tend to call every day. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I use Vonage SimulRing to call my home and cell at the same time, but I'm not sure. I've learned that reporting a problem has no effect (but, heck, you're offering a free service, so ...), which I why I didn't bother.Of course, the 2014 political campaign season was still unbearable, and I don't look forward to 2016, but I think your service is a great help, and I appreciate it.

great

I love it! It saves me a lot of aggravation not having to even check the Caller ID. When I hear just one ring, I know it's no one I want to talk to.

Working well. Very pleased.Sometimes cuts off our conversations after about tens minutes when someone (non-robe) has had to call back after being blocked.
