Nick, Are you looking at the V5000 call blocker? This will be of a medium amount of use, as it looks like you can block calls with no caller id info. The phone comes with a blacklist of 5000 numbers that you can add more numbers too, but you'll have to do this after/while they're calling, so your phone will still ring. This might help a little with scammers, but is unlikely to do much for the political fundraising spam that makes up much of the spam I get.
If you're on iphone it's pretty easy to set it up to only ring when a contact calls (it'll still ring and go to voicemail, just in silent mode), android looks like its a little more tedious: https://mashtips.com/block-unknown-numbers-landline-iphone-android/ Best, Alex On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 9:37 AM <thompnicks...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok.
