Have you experienced a recent dramatic increase in robocalls in the last 48 hours or so?

In the last two days I’ve received 10 robo calls… I know they are robo calls because they are all from my area code (which nobody I talk to uses) and all different numbers. No voice mail, no texts.

This is fairly rare, I usually get one or two a month, but not 10 in 48 hours.

Not in a huge inconvenience, none of them get past Google voice screening, I just see the missed call notifications constantly and it’s annoying.

    I keep my number in a state that I lived in for just a short time. There is no one in that state that would call me so I know it’s spam.

      Get WideProtect. You can block area codes. I haven’t gotten phone spam in years since using it since I live in a different area code from my phone number.

        I have “should I answer?” It does the same and had a data based of spam numbers. Thanks
