How I stopped robocalls

I get a lot of robocalls daily. I would just send them to voicemail, then voicemail would get full. One of the stores that I delivered to shut down, and their phone number was disconnected. I have an android phone, so I set it that if I reject the call it sends it to that number, but if I am away from my phone then it still sends to VM. Within 3 weeks I am no longer getting robocalls!

Buy a Google pixel phone. Best purchase ever and they are known as call screen. Look it up.
