Just last week, 8,269 people got Nomorobo protection!


Absolutely fantastic !!! If you are looking to make improvements, see if you can prevent calls prior to the first ring! Otherwise, I cannot see how you can make improvements. Best suggestion that I have had in a very long time.

Although at first I was leery of installing Nomorobo, it proved its value immediately. The phone rang - once - then stopped. Just as promised. Caller ID showed an unknown number. Since that first call, I can't tell you how many others it has stopped my phone from ringing off the hook. Continuous unwanted calls are quite stressful. This technology works.

I find it aborts calls after 4 rings but doesn't block them. I still get many unwanted calls.

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.

It's fantastic! The only thing that could make it better (other than blocking every single robocall) is to not even ring once on my phone.

It has a been a "peace-saving" tool around the house. Can we expect, in the future, not to have the phone ring at all, or the phone number on our TV screen show. That would make things even better. Those robo callers are like the enemy, they keep trying "trick" us into getting up and answering their calls. We must stay one step ahead of them.

Wow, love at first no ring! I recommend to all friends. When will you block political and survey calls? Those are the biggest pains in the ears! Absolutely nerve wracking! Please help me make my phone a pleasure again.

One of the outstanding products of the century! Even more useful than the invention of the phones it blocks!
