Rudely awakened by Spam callers. A plague upon all such scum.
My phone number whenever I sign up for anything stupid is always 0412345678. If they want to reach me, they can reach me by email where I can just mark as spam.
This is a good idea actually.
Very wise. Alas, number generators
that is the BIGGEST problem with iphone compared to my wifes Galaxy. her call filtering is second to none. My call filtering is 0. It filters nothing. Crap! Also set up DND/Sleep mode.
Go to settings --> phone, scroll down a bit, select SILENCE UNKNOWN CALLERS
anyone not in your contact list doesn't ring and goes to vmail
I love this concept. But it wasn’t my phone that rang. Boyo has genuine work need to have unknown numbers on at hours I consider obscene. Working on that changing.
I have one a serve the other night. They Called the emergency work number that I monitor, claiming they were doing a survey about tv. For the second time, I hung up on the the week before.
Back when landlines were the only thing, I kept a bosun’s whistle next to the phone
I really like that Google Pixels can decipher what's a spam call, and if not they have a screen call which I appreciate. But it's always funny when there's a genuine call and people think it's voicemail.
