Stop the Scams: A FREE VoIP Landline Robo Call Blocker

Bots tangling up your classic VoIP landline? We got you.

If you or someone you know is still using landline technology via VoIP, or Voice Over Internet Protocol, then this is a freebie you need to know. 

Back in our landline days—before we got completely priced out due to soaring taxes alone—we were constantly inundated with bots, sales calls and political polls ringing our phones off their proverbial hooks. That is, until I spotted Nomorobo featured in some national news coverage. Block automated calls? For free, you say? What had I to lose, aside from the ringing in my ears?

The sign up process was simple enough. Though they required an e-mail, I don't recall ever receiving undesired messages in the inbox. A few pieces of information, including the ability to opt in or out of receiving political polling calls, should one be so inclined, and that was it. We registered and we waited.

And then, it came. That glorious SILENCE.

No more calls at all hours, especially around dinner time. No more impersonal bots or scammers clamoring for money. Just a pleasant and happy quiet we hadn't known in a very long time.

Mind you, there was the occasional quick ring, one not long enough to prompt us to even move. That became a sound of satisfaction, an indicator that another new bot was intercepted, and hopefully that would ultimately help others with Nomorobo not to be bothered by that particular auto-dialer ever again.

We never had any issues with scammers fully busting through this robust bot-buster, and no actual human callers who could not get through. Our time with Nomorobo was a great experience, and it's a product I highly recommend.

This blocker may be especially significant for seniors, who are more likely to still use landline tech over or alongside mobile, and who are the constant demographic targets of scam calls. If you have less tech savvy relatives or friends, it should be easy to sign them up and significantly decrease the chances of them being taken advantage of right inside their own homes. It's an easy way to honor one's parents and protect our seniors and other vulnerable individuals.

While use on VoIP landlines is free, Nomorobo does feature some paid levels for mobile blocking. Personally, I've had very few such calls to mobile numbers that would necessitate an added blocker, especially since some of my tech already includes built in blocking features. Standard landlines are, of course, excluded.

So let Nomorobo bring some peace, and peace of mind, into any home with a VoIP landline. #accidentalpoetry
