Best iPhone app to screen and/or block telemarketing calls and text spam?

[Auggie]

Forget the "do not call" list ... it's a joke. I'm looking for an app that will allow me to block incoming telemarketing calls, or store those numbers so they're blocked from calling again. Anyone have anything they like? Thanks.

1. "Do not call" works great for me.

I never get any spam or telemarketing calls.

And if I did, I would report them.

3. Thanks cbayer ...

the reviews on iTunes are not kind. But if it's working for you it's worth looking into.

5. My father was getting a boatload of unsolicited calls on his iPhone.

They stopped almost completely when I put him on the do not call list.

I hope you find something that works for you. Few things irk me as much as stopping what I am doing to answer the phone, only to find out that it is spam or solicitation.

2. When I get a crap call I add it to my contacts list.

Then I can see that it's a crap call coming in.

I only have one contact I used this way and named it CRAP. It has three phone numbers.

I wonder if there's a limit to how many numbers can be assigned to a single contact....

4. I love this idea!

Thanks ... implementing now. Maybe an app later.

9. Been over a month -- your idea works great

BTW, I have about ten numbers on my CRAP list so far.

11. Best iPhone app to block unwanted calls.

Hi,

I recently downloaded an app from appstore called VIPaList. This app provide an easy call management function. It allows user to create group such as Family,Office, Friends, etc and allow to receive calls only from the A-List (Active List). The D-List (Do not Disturb) bad contacts go straight to voicemail without the phone ringing or screen illuminating.

Some of it’s features are,

* Group calls by category or caller to allow them to ring through, or go to voicemail

* Allow callers in a specific group to ring through only while you are in a specific geographic location

* Silence any mobile/cell calls

* Silence any landline calls

Thank You.
