Thanks for a great service

Fantastic service! We used to get dozens of calls a week. Very few now go through.Thank you!

Great great

AWESOME!Best thing ever from Mount Sinai (like us)! Good luck with making it ever better, e.g. (pipedream?!) a code that I could enter on the phone to automatically report a robo caller to your database. GOOD JOB!

The best service ever!! One rings means a robo call blocked. It makes me smile. Wish I could get the same service on my cell phone.

great in blocking annoying robo calls. thank you

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.

I cannot express the joy I feel when that second ring doesn't happen!
