>   So I stopped answering any landline calls and allowed my answering machine to answer all incoming calls. After a few months I noticed there were only about 30 different Robo phone numbers. Then I recorded all the numbers of the bad guys, That was easy to do because they go into my telephones memory as ‘Missed Calls”.

>   If looks like a robo call, you just push the "Block Call" button and it will store the number in the 'Bad Guy' list.
>   Then it will block all the calls from that number forever and ever, Amen.
