How To Stop Getting Spam Calls?

Register your number with the National Do Not Call Registry (and any state/local equivalents)

Use your carrier’s spam call protection features (e.g., call filtering, network-level blocking)

Enable spam call blocking and caller ID in your phone’s settings

Turn on “Silence Unknown Callers” (iOS) or equivalent unknown-call filtering (Android)

Block specific numbers from your call log and voicemail

Report spam calls to your carrier and to the appropriate government agency (e.g., FTC)

Use a reputable call-blocking app that supports spam detection and carrier integration

Avoid answering calls from unknown numbers when possible; let them go to voicemail

Don’t call back unknown numbers or respond to prompts from suspected robocalls

Keep your phone number private and limit sharing on public forms and directories

Opt out of marketing calls from companies when you receive legitimate outreach

Review and tighten privacy settings on accounts where your phone number is shared

Change your number if spam persists despite blocking and reporting

Contact your carrier about additional options (advanced call screening, account-level blocking, call authentication tools)
