Hi,
Spectrum has Nomorobo, which blocks calls from telemarketers and spammers after the first ring. The number shows on your TV, if you have Cable TV and Caller ID on TV turned on. The Nomorobo zaps the call after the first ring. We have had it for three years with Spectrum, and I think at most TWO calls penatrated the system by being able to leave messages!
Calls regarding weather emergencies, doctor appointments, schools, are allowed through. You need to first turn on Nomorrobo:
1.) Log in to My Services
2.) Go to Home Phone Settings
3.) Under "Peace and Quiet" turn on Nomorobo
4.) Say Yes to "Answer Anywhere" being activated, if prompted
5.) Save your changes.
Nomorobo is working when a caller can't leave a message after the first ring. Sometimes, the phone needs to ring a second time for Nomorrobo to screen the call. Make sure you don't pick up the phone till at least after the first ring, so that the call can be dropped if it is a Spammer, Robocall, or Telemarketer It hangs up on all those types of calls!
If a known Robocaller is able to leave a message, you can report the call to Nomorobo at their website with a Nomorobo account. (Different than My Account at Spectrum.) or Follow Nomorobo on Twitter and give them the phone number that isn't being blocked so they can investigate. I have only had to do this twice in the last three years! It's that good!
Satch
