Sounds interesting. I was hoping to try it out but your app isn't in the Canadian Android app store.
We don’t have enough data to protect Canada yet but we’re working on it. Do you get robocalls from US area codes too?

> At a minimum, one could switch cell phone billing so that only the caller pays, not the recipient. Are there any countries besides the US that charge the callee? It's completely unheard of in Europe. I did spend some time in the US about ten years ago, and I do remember being very surprised at being charged for calls received, and even for texts received, although you have no influence on accepting them! Such a wei…
What if you use your mobile phone to receive a million texts per day and the sender uses a different service provider. Your service provider has to pay for all that data moving through its network one way or another...
Make note of the telephone number and add it to the Project Mayhem page. This effort uses code sent from VOIP phones to flood these numbers: https://www.patreon.com/ProjectMayhem
Or not. Many of those calls use spoofed caller IDs. Not only are you not punishing the spammer, you're adding the number of a random person who have no idea this happened.

How do you add something to a patreon page??

Right now, we only grab one recording per phone number so that's the date that we recorded it. But, the response to our sampling system has been really strong so we're expanding that to grab one recording per day per number. That way you can also go back in time and see the different scams that have been sent from the same number. We're also building some deeper analytics so that you can see call volume by robocaller…
I am confused. It is titled as "New robocaller recordings". The newest ones under that section are from October 25, 2017. However, the "Most active robocallers (Past 24 hours)" has records from later than October 25, 2017.

Sorry I didn't spell out everything for you. You should also feel free to do some investigating of your own, for example, call the number that appears on your caller ID. Depending upon who answers the call you may or may not choose to proceed with punishing the spammer. BTW feel free to propose a better idea if you actually have one...

I didn't say that for you. I did it for the people who are not aware of this issue. Are you upset that I gave people more information, so they don't try to block legitimate callers?
Founder of Nomorobo here. We put a stop to all of those annoying robocalls, telemarketers, and spam/scam calls and texts. It's about the only thing that works nowadays. It's not your imagination - these types of calls are out of control. According to our data, 40% of all calls made in the US are illegal, unwanted spam/scam robocalls. And those "neighbor" spoofed calls (same area code and extension) are especially pre…
