We’ve talked about NoMoRobo – a service that I have been using for many months now with nothing less than spectacular success. My spam calls have been pretty much totally wiped out on my home phone and I know the spammers are still calling 4-6 or more times a day.

With NoMoRobo – the phone rings but if you only get 1 ring, that’s a spammer who’s been sent off to a recorded message requesting they enter the number they called in order for the call to be completed. Robo callers don’t have this information available because a computer keeps dialing numbers until it connects with a live person. Good Bye Robo Caller!

NoMoRobo is great for the home phone but what about your cell phone – say hello to RoboKiller. I was getting RoboCalls from a phone number that shows the caller was from Wellesley most every single day. Upon dialing the number back to give them a piece of my mind, the number is always identified as a disconnected number. This challenge sent me on a quest to discover a solution for the problem.

RoboKiller not only keeps you from getting these irksome phone calls by blocking spammers and telemarketers – it even let’s us get a little revenge.

Here’s how it works.

With RoboKiller, answer your phone with confidence once again! Telemarketers and scammers have made it painful to pick up a call, but RoboKiller, winner of the FTC’s anti-robocall competition, gives you your phone back. The New York Times, NBC, Wired, Engadget, Vice and others, are all raving about RoboKiller’s power to block over 100,000 spam calls and its uncanny ability to show you exactly who is calling you before your answer. RoboKiller reduces unwanted calls by up to 90% in 30 days! RoboKiller is available with both monthly and yearly subscriptions, both with a free 7-day trial; opt-out at any time during the trial and you aren’t charged a penny.. RoboKiller also takes the hassle out of getting the calls you DO want, with true, real-time caller ID so you can stop guessing who’s at the other end of your calls. RoboKiller’s Super Caller ID turns phone numbers into names, addresses and even photos of the people calling you – all while the call is happening. No more annoying cutting and pasting, trying to figure out who’s on the phone after the call is already over.

KEY BENEFITS:

Automatically blocks spam and robocallers with patented FTC-award winning technology. – Spam list automatically updates hourly, making sure you always have the most up-to-date protection. – Take control! Bad number got through? Blacklist it! Good number got blocked? Whitelist it! – Identifies unfamiliar callers as the call happens with Super Caller ID – including names, addresses and even photos. – See missed and blocked calls in your Spam Box – you can even listen in to hear why blocked callers were calling. – Dedicated customer service team with real humans RoboKiller matches incoming audio fingerprints with known RoboCaller lists. When a known spam call comes in the call does not get to you, it gets routed to an “AnswerBot”. This is where the revenge part comes in – the “AnswerBot” will keep the spammers/telemarketers on the phone answering some of their questions and wasting their time. It’s pretty funny going back to listen to these recordings with the telemarketers trying to say their piece and the “AnswerBot” talking back to them. You can hear some samples of these recorded calls on the RoboKiller home page. https://www.robokiller.com/

RoboKiller offers a free 7 day trial and the setup is quick and simple. After the trial, you can continue the service at a small cost. It’s only $19.99 per year or less than $2.00 per month on a by-the-month subscription.

Currently, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Cricket, and MetroPCS are compatible with RoboKiller.
