In the past two days alone, I've gotten over 20 spam calls with none of them leaving a message. Just 3/4 seconds of silence on my voice mail. One call the other day left a 22 second blank message.

I use an app called KnownCalls that sends anything that isn't in your contact list straight to voicemail. Added bonus: No ads, free app.

Just to throw this in. If you use this, check your voicemails.

I often have to call customers to check ambiguities in their orders and people just dont return calls. Our contracts clearly state that in the event that you cant be contacted we arent responsible for any errors.

For those on iOS you don’t need an app to do this.

You can go to settings -> apps -> phone -> silence unknown callers.

This will send them straight to voicemail and the call will show in the recent calls list.
