Are You Tired of Spam Phone Calls?
Dealing with Phone Solicitors and Spam Calls
From Your Friends at Integrity Computer Consulting and Repair
Did you know that even answering these types of calls puts you on a list of "live" numbers? These phone lists are sold for pennies on the dollar. It's a vicious cycle! While telecom companies are starting to ramp up protections, many spam calls get through. Our recommendations?
- Try not to answer numbers you do not know. If it is important, the caller will leave a voicemail or send you a text.
- You can always Google the entire phone number and see where it is registered.
- Try not to use your phone number to sign up for anything if it's not required.
- Use a second-party app to help mitigate spam callers.
The Truecaller and Hiya apps are proving to be pretty reliable in blocking these annoying calls… without ads… without tanking your battery life, and they are easy to use! If spam does come through, with a few clicks in the app, you can add the number to their ever-growing database of spammers. Find it in your phone's app store for both Apple and Android.
