My phone number is on the do not call .gov list and has been for over a year, I got rid of truecaller on my phone since it wasnt stopping spam callers, even seemed to be attracting them, and also because it prevented legitimate calls as well. I have since been plagued with robo/spam calls/texts nearly 4+ times a month, and im at my wits end. I need a solution besides utterly blocking all calls that aren't on my contacts, mainly because what if I set an appointment for medical/other reasons and they call me with a number somewhat different than their business number

whatever app that exists that can truly help and not be a piece of crap, would be mighty appreciated. I won't try truecaller ever again, mr.number did diddly *insert pile of poop emote here*, same with HiYa. help me brothers and sisters

@LodeUnknown, unfortunately magic solutions don't exist, bro. :shake:
Keep in mind that no app will guess if the call is spam or not if you do not indicate the criteria to analyze it. In Truecaller the white list is your phone book.
I am a Truecaller user and I schedule all the allowed contacts, obviously I have the same problem as you if they call me from another non-scheduled number.
I have blocked calls, but NOT messages. If the call is important they will leave you a voicemail or send you an SMS.
I advise you not to use Truecaller's "Spam" function, and not to use it to block SMS.
This has helped me when Truecaller blocks an unscheduled number for me and the call is of real importance.
Another more radical solution would be to have another number for important calls. My phone allows me to have 2 SIM cards and this also helps, but I know your question is not related to this advice.
I hope I've helped.

Spammers just love you guys... My numbers have been on the 'do not call' list for a while. Every once in a while I'll get a random weird text, but the spam/robo calls have stopped.
Unfortunately there is no fool proof solution to completely stop them. Even having your numbers on gov. do not call lists and using certain apps don't completely stop them.

If you try and ask your carrier to change your number, it may slow them down ...or stop them for a while. Just don't give your number out to everyone anymore. Keep it private.
That's my only suggestion to you. Note - this thread will be closed soon.
