It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the Do Not Call List is completely useless! Everyone is complaining about these scam calls and they have every reason to. People say buy a phone that has call blocking. Some of them don't even have enough room in them to block very many. Then if you buy another phone you have to start all over with the numbers. There are several stand alone call blockers that work fine but this is the one I use is called Sentry. Simply go to Google and search for "Sentry Call Blocker." By the way, 800notes, many kudos to you to help us to quickly find out about a number!! As soon as I see it is a bad number I go to my Sentry call blocker and hit the down arrow until I see the spam number and simply push the "Reject" button down until it shows "Done" and it is instantly blocked (accepts up to 1,000 numbers). You can even use this to enter that a number is acceptable also. As I stated there are other call blockers but this one works GREAT!!!
