We get nomobobo for free from Comcast on our landline. It works real well with known numbers in their database and with numbers we add. We still get a lot of calls that use false local numbers that nomorobo can’t really block. We don’t add these numbers to the nomorobo database since they are generated randomly by the scammers and are probably not used more than once.
