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


I absolutely love it. It's still annoying to get one ring, but it's so much better than having to get up to answer it. I didn't have any trouble setting it up, but some might be intimidated by the multiple steps.

It has reduced unwanted calls significantly. I have already told friends about it. Now if only it could block calls with caller IDs of Blocked or Anonymous that would be the icing on the cake. We never accept those calls.

NOMOROBO actually works and works well! I would not be without it. I enjoy hearing the one ring and then silence.

Have referred everyone I know and they rave.

Overall I am very happy with your service. However, I want to point out that it is not 100% effective. Specifically, during the election season from about September through the election in early November, we noticed that robocalls for political surveys frequently got through your technology. Of course, now that the elections are over, we are no longer being bothered. But, is there some reason why those calls could not be stopped?

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.

NOMOROBO has done a splendid job of blocking these idiots even when they spoof numbers. They are relentless! I have thanked you in the past and again expressing my appreciation for this service. When these calls get through by spoofing numbers we report them and you block them until they start using another number. The credit card people actually spoofed my own phone number as their identity to get me to pick up. I get 4 or 5 calls per day that NOMOROBO blocks at an 80% or better rate.

Nomorobo is the best!! I don't bother to even look up until after the phone rings twice. Thank you for eliminating tons of bothersome calls.
