Just last week, 8,275 people got Nomorobo protection!


We can finally have dinner again as a family without being constantly interrupted by unwanted calls. The frequency of call is drastically reduced, and when the phone rings 9 of 10 it is a call we are happy to take. It has restored faith in the phone as a means of communication, rather than an annoyance.

Great service, and I'm enjoying a good chunk of those 70,000 calls you block every day. The only improvement I can recommend is some way to mute the single ring that you're unable to stop. Guests sometimes ask why our phone rings only once, which does give us the opportunity to explain your service. Keep up the good work.

I like it but I still get some calls hopefully it will get better

It works! Thank you!!!!

Groundbreaking! Outstanding!

Neatest thing since sliced bread.

I will tell anyone that it works. Thank you. And when it comes to a time when this has to be financially supported, I'm in.

A friend at work told me about it and I wanted to try it because I was going to cancel my land line due to all the robo calls all the time, from 9am to 9pm. This allowed me to keep our land line and takes away almost all of those calls. This is the best thing since sliced bread....
