A way to deal with unwanted phone calls

There are a lot of unwanted calls lately. I use the anti-spam in the Orange Telefon app, which blocks them automatically, and a shortcut updates its number database.

Are you fighting phone spam? I think data leaks will only make it worse.

Lately there has been a big wave of unwanted phone calls. It’s good that apps like this exist.

What am I talking about? Orange Telefon.

I have this phone anti-spam app installed on my phone. It automatically blocks unwanted calls and telemarketing.

It works quite well. The phone number database is updated all the time by a special shortcut that runs in the background.

Do you have a spam problem too? How do you deal with it?

PS. Bookmark this post or send it to friends who have a similar problem. 📞

Do you look at technology the same way?

I run technology products and write here about how that turns out. Take a look at the tools I use day to day.
