Just last week, 8,274 people got Nomorobo protection!


I love NOMOROBO! I tell all my friends and family about it. I would like to see the option to block charities as well. I get calls several times a day from different cancer societies asking for donations.

Fantastic! What a joy to be able to enjoy life without being annoyed by scammers.

I have already posted your information on next door.com which is a community bulletin board. Hopefully you will get a few more subscribers. I have received some very positive responses from my post.

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 actually get kind of thrilled when Nomorobo intercepts calls. It's like a victory over the creeps who are running those invasive operations.

It's incredible. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for the peace and quiet I now have.

I wish it would not ring once when a robo call comes in. Can't the call be completely blocked instead?

An excellent way to stop telemarketers.
