[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1829297, member: 190607"] Yes, they work really well. I personally use NoMoRobo, and love it, but there are services that do more than just block spam phone calls. They all seem to have free trials, so you can decide if it's working for you for yourself. YouMail Will stop your phone from ringing with calls from robocallers and deliver a message that your number is out of service so they won't call again. $60/year [url]https://www.youmail.com/[/url] Truecaller [url=https://www.truecaller.com/]The world's best Caller ID & Spam Blocking app | Truecaller[/url] RoboKiller [url=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/robokiller-spam-call-blocker/id1022831885]RoboKiller: Spam Call Blocker on the App Store[/url] [url=https://www.robokiller.com/]Stop Unwanted Robocalls & Telemarketers with RoboKiller[/url] Mr. Number [url=https://mrnumber.com/]Mr. Number - Identify spammers and block calls & texts on your mobile phone[/url] Nomorobo [url]http://www.nomorobo.com[/url] Hiya [url]https://hiya.com/[/url] Some of these do really cool things like send a false message to the spammers that your line has been disconnected, so you are taken off their call list, and others even get even with the spammers by wasting their time! There is no malware for an ordinary (non-jailbroken) iPhone/iPad (i.e. iOS). The reason that there is no malware for iOS is simple: there is only one source for software for the iPhone, and that is Apple's own App Store. Apple vets all software submitted to the App Store and tests for malware. So, there is no vector for malware to get onto your iPhone/iPad. It's a huge selling feature of Apple's iOS devices. There has been a lot of Android malware. For the querulous, yes, there *have* been a very few instances where Apple mistakenly approved apps that were malicious.
