Ask HN: Most calls I get on my phone are bots/spam. What are my options?

4 pointsby ysilverabout 9 years ago
Over the past few years, I have gradually been receiving more and more spam calls. Some are robo ads trying to sell me something (&quot;I&#x27;m your local Google specialist...&quot;) and other times there is nobody on the other end (which I&#x27;ve heard is one way spammers check to see if a number is active).<p>Things have reached the point where I would estimate that the substantial majority of my phone calls are now bots.<p>What are my options for fixing this?

TrueCaller claims to help with this, but their app seems risky to me in terms of permissions&#x2F;privacy. Google Voice does help with this, but I don&#x27;t know that you could port your number at this point.

It&#x27;s easy. Just never answer your phone unless you recognize the number.
