Nomorobo is a Failure and Sonic needs to find a solution to the problem. Reporting #'s here seems to be useless.

SOLUTION: Just let members block their own calls! Gee, what a concept. It works for Outlook!! Also, people may want to block calls from a specific number they know. FIX this! It is the ONLY SOLUTION.

We normally get 1-2 incoming calls /day (not real chatty here). Yesterday, we received 25.There were so many, I downloaded the call #'s from online call history and put them in a spreadsheet to count.

In two days, we received 3 calls from 901-625-5201. It's a Camp Lejeune class action scam call. An online news source said this was the #1 SCAM CALL in the US in January. If the caller leaves a message, the return call # is 888-482-1296.

On my phone, I can block 20 #'s but the list is full. To block more #'s I have to delete some. Frustrated that Sonic is no help. The rep suggested the national Do Not Call list, what a joke. Been on there for at least 10 years, check it regularly.

Other #'s are: 628-204-1361 (5 calls), 650-582-2970 and 650-582-2971 (6 calls), 657-226-2180 (4 calls) - in one day,

Somehow, the same message posted here twice. I deleted one and posting new comments. All calls are announced and go to voicemail, unless I am nearby and recognize the call. Some scammers have a long message that shortens the recording time on my phone. The number of calls ringing the phone and has increased dramatically this week. One solution is to buy a new phone that blocks more #'s since Sonic is useless. Unfortunately, less expensive phone have about the same options as the current phone.

NoBoRobo and blocking of specific numbers are no longer effective because the scammers are spoofing fake numbers on the Caller ID system. Eventually, you will end up blocking most numbers once the scammers spoof enough numbers.

The only effective way, in my opinion, is for phone systems to provide a feature allowing for a white list and blocking everything else. All blocked calls would go to a voicemail system to allow you to create your own white list.

All of this is causing the public phone system to be less effective or valuable. A sad state of affairs.

I just screen all calls that aren't in my contacts list. Almost all hang up as soon as they hear "You have reached the voicemail for..." (The auto warranty scammers simply launched into the spiel that continued into the recording, but they've been silenced for good.)
