So my default app for phonecalls doesn’t have spam filter or any info on callers. I downloaded truecaller, but it has a lot of ads. Ive been getting a lot more spam calls lately and i want to get a good app to separate important stuff from useless spam what do you recommend?
Also what are your funny stories messing with spam callers?
I use Silence, but I’ve also heard good things about Yet Another Call Blocker. Both Android apps that are not dialers, but call filters to stop spam.
I honestly just switched to denying all calls automatically from anyone not in my contacts a long time ago. If anyone who isn’t in my contacts needs to reach me, they’ll follow up with an email or text.
I cant always afford to block all calls, so default I will use YACB, but also truecaller conjunction with it to Identify who called me, if the call wasn’t blocked, from there I will determine if I want to block the caller or call them back
I know Silence has an option for STIR verification (which I’m not very familiar with). I think government numbers and such can get through, but I’m not certain. Your solution is great for making sure people can still get through!
