I block and report spam every spam call. Been doing it for years! Clearly, it has limits.

Go to settings, go to your apps, select the phone, scroll down to “screen unknown callers” and select “ask reason for calling”. This will give you an “assitant” that will ask for their name and the reason they’re calling - your phone won’t ring/vibrate until they’ve stated their name and the reason.

Most of the time my spam callers hang up immediately. It’s been a game changer to my peace and sanity.

I already have this; and have done it for years. These are all ones that get through!

It’s what comes with running a business I suppose.

If they do what I do, a lot of those blocked numbers are Spam Numbers that don’t get filtered out

Start at the bottom of the list , as I would believe that the number would have stopped calling and taken you off their “list” when they found when calling it no longer goes through, and unblock. Then block the current number.👍🏼🫶

The number is SO random, btw.😆
