Dealing with Telemarketers (MoPho-Specific)

[tbhausen]

Before I ask this, I'm going to make a suggestion in the Motorola forums for a "Unwanted Caller" feature wherein incoming numbers can be captured into a single (possibly large!) contact and ignored via muted ring, sent to VM, receive a special canned message via voice or text, etc...

What do you guys think is the best way, using the MoPho's presently-available tools, to capture and either ignore or auto-reply to telemarketer calls? I'm really getting sick and tired of receiving them!

Best way to prevent telemarketers from calling your phone would be to register your number on the National Do Not Call Registry:

https://www.donotcall.gov/

After you do that, if you still receive phonecalls from companies, note the phone number (if it's not blocked) and then file a complaint:

You can also store that number and then click on menu for that contact and click options and then check "send call directly to voicemail"

Semi Silent Pro is a great app that can mute certain numbers or make them silent (vibrate) or send them directly to voice mail. A wonderful app to have for any person who receives a lot of calls.
