Just last week, 8,276 people got Nomorobo protection!


Loving this! Every time I hear a single ring and then...nothing... I get a sinister grin on my face like I have just swatted an annoying mosquito! I look over at my husband and he has that same satisfaction on his face. Thank you!

" Rachael from credit card services" was the BAIN of my life for years. I no longer hear from her! After returning from several years in Europe, I found that I received 4-6 of these calls PER DAY!!! They have all but stopped. The few that do get through are reported. I actually changed my service from Comcast to Verizon for this reason!

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.

I have recommended this to numerous friends and family. It is unbelievable the number of calls blocked in just one day. Thank you for bringing some peace to our house.

Until we signed up for Nomorobo we were plagued with solicitation calls. Although they still call we no longer have to look at caller ID to determine whether we needed to ignore or answer.

Nomorobo is great! I never realized how many of these robocalls I got until I was home all day for a couple of days, Within those two days I received 6 calls. Four of those calls were in one day. It was then that I decided to get Nomorobo. The system picks up the call and your phone only rings once. The call is then cut off. It's a great technology. If you are annoyed by robocalls this free service is the way to go.

We think it is wonderful! We have told our friends.

I admire the design, I rely on its reliability, and I much appreciate the service it provides. Now, if the FCC would just expand this to the entire Do Not Call List!! Because their list is generally ignored by the aggravators & scammers, your technology and better/faster effort by FCC to add numbers to the list, would give America have an enforced system! FCC should have paid you an award 20 times greater for your devising a solution they could not. Many Thanks!
