People that make claims without evidence will have them dismissed for exactly that reason. If that’s putting you off, then kiss off, moth.

    I ensure contacts are allowed and high priority. I don’t block non contacts.

    I check “include unverified” in the STIR setting. (The killer feature, imo!)

    I give 30 days for call backs. (Not sure if needed but just in case?)

    That’s it for me! Plenty of other stuff. There’s a GitHub page with some instructions but really the app explains itself pretty well. Tap those little question marks to get an explanation of what these things do.

    Then there’s the test feature (bottom right green button) but it doesn’t test the attestation (it’s carrier specific). But it does use most of the other settings(if you enable them). And sure if their carrier doesn’t support the attestation that is going to be unverified and get blocked, unless they’re a contact(I believe.) I’m fine with that. I live tested it with a neighbor and they called me and my phone rang.

    I haven’t even had this thing installed for 24 hours so I am by no means an expert.



  • This isn’t self promotion. I’ve been searching for an app to block these numbers for about a year… Some limited success. AI powered whatever. Subscription fees. Duck that… So I tried some various f-droid stuff and this one finally works almost exactly perfectly.

    You seem to not be cognizant that legitimate companies actually have block lists and respect them because you can report them and they will be fined.

    The scammers use virtual numbers that are virtually untraceable and there is no fine there is no penalty they are scammers they are exploiters they are criminals these are not legitimate businesses. They should be put to death. Amen.



  • This is very simple. I’ll explain one more time. Lol.

    STIR attestation is when my carrier can confirm yours.

    If it fails, the call is considered “unverified” and therefore blocked.

    If my carrier can verify your carrier, my phone will ring. This blocks spoofed calls primarily.

    Real people and companies who are not in my contacts but can pass attestation will ring my phone. That means my insurance can still call me even when they use random numbers. That means genuine businesses can call me. That means I can put up a flyer and say my dog is lost please call me if found. And if a real person finds my dog they can call me and my phone will ring and they can tell me they found my dog. Etc.

    That’s the dream!



  • That hasn’t worked for me. The numbers aren’t private or unknown. They’re just randomized, basically. And if you call them back you’ll get an out of service message. I’ve tried every setting in my (Google) phone app with no luck.

    Best case, I was getting silent notifications telling me i had 6-12 missed calls daily. that’s with DnD enabled:

    With spamblock working, no notifications, no missed calls, no ringing, no going to voicemail. It rejects them completely (notice top 4 calls are simply blocked.)

    I’ve heard some carriers offer better apps than mine and they support blocking these fake numbers… For the rest of us… Try spamblock! So happy.

    Interface is a little strange but not too bad.
