Anyone try robokiller for spam calls? Looking for something for my father with dementia.

My landline phone I have is through Spectrum, and they have started a while ago, alerting their customers by having the words "spam risk" come across the screen, when it's not a legit call. Which is nice, as I just let those calls go to my voicemail, and of course they seldom leave me a message, and if they do, it's always about a charge that's been put on my Visa card, which of course I know is false.

I also use Tracfone for my cell phone service,(have for the last 10+ years) and I can tell you honestly that I rarely receive a call from an unknown number on that. And again, if I don't recognize the number I just don't answer it.

I never heard of it. I will be following answers on this thread. Would be wonderful if there was something out there that would work for phones of vulnerable seniors.

Someone mentioned on another thread that Xfinity has a free option for this.

Call carrier and ask if there is a way to block all calls except those that come from people you list. That may not cost anything extra.

I haven't tried anything like that; however, when I got my mother a new phone for use in the nursing home, I got the Doro model from Consumer Cellular. It has a blocking feature that works by blocking any calls that don't come from her list of contacts. I programmed the phone so that she would only get calls from myself, my sister and my husband.

The only one I've heard mentioned here is nomorobo, which according to my web search is a cheaper option.
