I just pulled this off the net. It may help a little.

The Do Not Call Registry accepts registrations from both cell phones and land lines. To register by telephone, call 1-888-382-1222 (TTY: 1-866-290-4236). You must call from the phone number that you want to register. To register online (donotcall.gov), you will have to respond to a confirmation email.

This is a list of the top 10 free apps as of this month

#01 – Calls Blacklist – Call Blocker#02 – Mr. Number – Block Calls & Spam#03 – Call Blocker Free – Blacklist#04 – Call Control – Call Blocker#05 – Call Blocker#06 – Block Call And Block SMS#07 – Blacklist Plus – Call Blocker#08 – Safest Call Blocker#09 – Call Blocker#10 – SMS Blocker, Call Blocker
I have been using WhosCall for the past few years. It's only as good as those using it and if someone has tagged a number it shows up.
I will check out all those you listed and see if there is a better one. This stuff is getting crazy!

I still use whos call. Yesterday a bunch of calls from a number with only 6 digits? I blocked it with whos call.

but who is to say these calls aren't damaging our business if they are caused potential customers to block our numbers.

That's actually a good point.

I wonder if it really works that good

There's some good timing. If it works, it's definitely worth it.

I installed it on my phone. Haven't got a spam call yet. They must have a data base of spam callers. They also check your contacts so they don't get blocked and keep keep all the blocked calls on your phone and mark them as spam. You get one week free and can cancel at any time. If your going to do it, now would be the time during slow season.

If they are rerouting the number and it shows up local, from an actual working local number, is that number blocked? I'm curious and can't find an answer. I'd hate to see just one customer not get through and get a bot.

This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.

I found this in a USA Today article: Both iOS & Android

Nomorobo

"This is my best of these apps I’ve reviewed to date — so it’s no surprise that it won a competition by the FTC. After you download the app onto your device, you can sign up for a free trial for 30-days, or commit right away to either $1.99 per month or $19.99 per year. (If you don’t remember to cancel your sign-up, you’ll be auto-billed.)"
