Anyone tried one of these and found one you like? I have an iPhone and am so tired of those damn calls. I've blocked so many numbers but want to find a way to stop the thing from ringing in the first place. Anyone???

That do not call registry is a joke. I've been on it for over 10 years and renew my number every 2 or so years to be safe. I still get about 5 calls a week that I have to add to a block list on my phone. Quite annoying.

I wish it would work for me. This week alone I won a Bahamas trip, I've gotten $5,000 free from the US Gov't, been asked about my surgical mesh implant that I never had and been offered a free home monitoring system if I can supply my social security number and date of birth to verify home ownership. |

Do you give out your phone number when you do online shopping? Stores sell that information, so I would start using a Google voice number if it is required.

That do not call registry is a joke. I've been on it for over 10 years and renew my number every... Exactly! I renew every few years or so also and still get an inordinate number of calls/DAY! Today alone, there were at least ten... at least! And the day's not over; guaranteed there will be at least 2-3 more, every. single. stinkin'. night! I've looked into Nomorobo and they don't cover my Verizon landline. I just don't answer the phone anymore and let it go to the machine. Absolutely maddening. eta: oh, and when I shop online, I deliberately enter an incorrect phone number. |

I always lie when asked for my phone number. I give a made up number. I'm sure that pisses off the person who owns the number that I make up. |

I use my Google Voice number (which is the same number I use at work as my 'mobile') for all the store cards and the like. I never give out my real phone number or my real email to anyone but real people. I get a handful of telemarketer calls a year at most. |
