Just last week, 8,268 people got Nomorobo protection!


Since about 80% of my phone calls on my land-line are from unwanted sources, Nomorobo is a wonderful service. It, at least, eliminates 40 - 50% of my unwanted calls. Thank you

I love Nomorobo. It works so well. I don't have to answer those annoying calls from computers. Thanks. Can't wait for cell phone version.

Trying to stop or at least limit Robocalls almost became a part time job for me. I would diligently try to use their "press 5 to be removed from our list" [yeah, THAT works!], & even more diligently report the numbers/caller ID in complaints to the Do Not Call Registry. Pretty much to no avail & a losing battle. Then I read about Nomorobo. Gave it a try & OMG, what a difference! An IMMEDIATE difference! A real Godsend --- The peace is wonderful. One little ring & then nothing. Thank you so much!!

You saved my sanity during the recent election campaign season.

Love it. it needs to block unavailble call listings as well.

It's such a relief when the phone only rings once!!Many thanks for this great public service.

I like the service but I still get calls from computers claiming to be able to save energy costs or offering security systems. Aren't these robocalls? Why aren't they blocked?

Nomorobo is fantastic! We call it our "bug call zapper" because often the phone will ring and then go dead, another robocall zapped. Still we can see the call on the TV screen so we know the number calling. On some calls, they come like clock work every day at the same time, and zap. Eventually they will stop as Nomorobo deals with them. It has stopped at least 80%, maybe more, of the annoying calls. We are extremely pleased and relieved that we are not constantly harassed by these calls. We recommend it all the time with lots of thank yous following.....
