6 Hacks To Stop iPhone Spam Calls — Scammers Hate #4!

David & David show you how to block spam calls on an iPhone. U.S. consumers received nearly 4 billion robocalls per month in 2020. In spite of the FCC's push to combat robocalls and spoofing, it's still a major problem — and headache — for practically everyone with a phone number.

There are a couple iPhone settings you can turn on to cut down on spam calls. The first is Silence Unknown Callers, which sends calls to voicemail if they aren't from your contacts, recent outgoing calls, or Siri Suggestions. Some carriers also give you the option to Silence Junk Callers if your carrier detects the call as potential spam or fraud.

You can also add your phone number to the Do Not Call Registry. This will help stop spam calls on your iPhone, but be warned — not every call center will honor this.

There are several spam blocking apps you can install to stop iPhone spam calls. While you could install a third-party app from your carrier, we recommend trying a free app from the iPhone App Store first. Wireless carriers are great at nickel-and-diming you. They may make you pay a monthly fee for features included for free with a robocall-blocking app.

Simply, I don’t answer my phone unless I absolutely know who’s calling. If it’s important they will leave a message. If it’s spam I block the number.

I’ll normally scream my favorite profanities when a scammer calls about my car warranty or other fake crap they call about. I find it extremely satisfying.

I couldn't have been angrier than when I got a spoof call from MY KID'S SCHOOL per caller ID, which every parent fears that mid-day school call, dropping anything you're doing immediately... I screamed at that person with a fury. I hope they were able to find a different job.

Frankly, I think the phone companies are in cahoots with these spammers. When I was driving rigs cross county I would get multiple spam calls a day from the area code that I was currently located. So either the phones companies allow this nonsense or the spammers have hacked into the cell towers all over the country.

The problem with adding doctors, hospitals, ect to your contacts is that they all have 100+ different numbers they can be calling from. So that’s virtually impossible to do.

[MovieMakingMan]

Instead of a DO NOT CALL list we need a system where no one can call unless a person gives permission. You should be automatically on a do-not-call list unless a person deliberately agrees to be called.

Verrrry informative. The guys give a straightforward yet thorough discussion of spamming and what we can do about it. Thank you and Happy Birthday David!

[angus]

Appreciate you both so much for keeping us informed and helping us fight this junk!

[wheeldrive]

The ability to spoof a phone number should be the equivalent of forgery. There is absolutely no legitimate reason to allow anyone to spoof a different caller ID. This would not be a hard thing to outlaw. Where are our legislators?

[nsvirginiafankelly]

Thanks guys!! Happy Birthday David🎂. This was very helpful and just what I needed to silence the 30 plus calls I’ve been getting this week.

[agc]

Thanks! My wife & I have gotten a great deal of help from watching your videos. Keep up the good work, And the channel!

[reggievanness]

Thank you guys for all the helpful information

[egrace]

I’m having a problem with receiving scam type text messages- it’s almost like the spam emails I used to get are now coming through via my text message. There’s no way to really figure out who these people are and how to stop them from sending these text messages- Any suggestions?

I just love this Payett I originally learned Microsoft at my place of work when in upper management. So I thought Microsoft was all there was. Then my nephew many years later asked me why I didn’t use Apple. I said I knew nothing about Apple & then a whole new learning curve again ensued. Then when I went to his home, he had Microsoft & Apple on another computer. He explained that Microsoft was what businesses mainly used.
Anyway, as I fumbled my way through, learning Apple, I found it much more intuitive & much better in my retirement years. I use my IPHONE, for most everything & rarely use my MacBook Air. I wasn’t born with a computer in my mouth. So you guys have filled in many blind spots. Thank you. 🙏🙏

[cathietonkin]

Happy Birthday to you David!!!!
Thank you both…. I try to watch everything you are so kind to share with us! You have helped someone who lives on a very small pension…. Bless you both!

Spam call software usually doesn't usually allow the spammer to enter dial tones. I would really like a type of auto attendant that would ask the caller to enter a number to proceed otherwise it will go to voice mail. Not sure if Apple IOS can support this, but it would make identifying robocalls MUCH easier.

[lindiehopkins]

For UK user regarding Do Not Call Registry. Ours is called The Telephone Preference Service (TPS). It works the same way.

[MovieMakingMan]

Robocalls could end tomorrow if the punishment was 5 years in prison and a $100, 000 fine for each call. A company that hires a robocall service should have its CEO arrested and thrown in jail.
