Stop Telemarketer Calls and Get Rid of Junk Mail

I haven't had a single unwanted call in 4 years! Here's how to make it happen:

Just set your cell phone to reject all calls that do not come from a number that isn't already entered in your contacts list. Your phone won't even ring for them, and if they do stay on the line, they will be sent straight to your voicemail, still without you even knowing it. Next, record a custom voicemail message that explains this, so legitimate callers will know they must leave a message if they ever want to hear back from you. Mine says, "My phone only alerts me to calls that originate from numbers that are already in my contacts. If you want me to know you called, you must leave a detailed message. Thank you."

All spoofs, robos, scammers, salespeople, pranksters, etc etc will go directly to your custom voicemail, without you even knowing they had tried to contact you. And once they do get a voicemail, every single one of them will immediately hang up and move on! You see, they depend on finding living, breathing suckers to try to abuse, so they hate voicemails... It is just like they never even called! They will even take note that you are doing this and never call back, so you can also expect to get less and less of these calls altogether as time goes by (though you won't actually have any way of knowing this 😊). It is almost too good to be true!

Soon you will get in the habit of entering all important numbers in your contacts. Plus, because your custom voicemail briefly explained your strategy, friends, family and legitimate associates who are not yet in your contacts will actually leave a message - which you will get when you decide to check your voicemail, at YOUR convenience 😎. If you are worried about missing a particular important call, you can either, find out what number they intend to call you from and enter it, or just just turn off the setting until you do get the call. It is all super easy to do after a bit of practice.

Believe me, this works like a charm! Just go online and figure out how to set your phone to do this and never look back. I know it works on iPhones, but I'm not sure about others, though I'm betting it will be possible on almost any cell phone.

Everybody deserves to have peace and protection from these unwelcome interactions.

You're welcome!

When I feel like it I screw with them. Then block the number!! But they keep calling. How about this one. This is the Social Security office your number has been used illegally. And we are coming to arrest you. I tell them. Make sure to bring your momma. because your wife is with me already. Ha, , ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. .
