Where I live, nobody uses voice mail, ever. Because they charge you for it for some reason. But as part of our culture, we always call twice, so if you hang, and they call back, it is important.
@@genio2509I’ve done that and a few seconds or minutes later there is another call. Usually the area code is the same or similar but the rest of the numbers are different. With AI it’s only going to get worse.
My Android phone does not have all the same settings as yours, but you prompted me to investigate settings I have not before looked at, and I'm sure this will be very helpful. Thank-you.
Everytime there is an update to phone software, they might reset to default settings on these things or introduce new things that you can setup the way you like it. You have to check yourself, in way a bit annoying that nothing ever stays the same.
Funny. Just as I finished watching this I got an unknown number call. As usually I don’t answer it and block it. Sometimes I write down the number and check the call online if I’m expecting a call from someone not on my callers list.
I am 75 and plagued by these calls. I have now turned on the filter as you stated and am I looking forward to some peace. Thank You so much. 😁😁😁😁👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍😇😇
Update. Down to one call today from a crypto call that cane on my phone as unknown. All other calls I usually get did not arrive. First day on the new settings a success. Once again, thank you.
There are moments in life that teach unforgettable lessons. When we recently retired, we traveled to help out family members. When we returned home several weeks later, we were amazed at the number of unknown callers everyday. Each call was allowed to leave a voice mail, but no one did. Whew! The funniest moment was when one time, I checked the caller ID to see our phone number listed w/my husband's name. We were both home and laughed and ignored it. We do not pick up many calls. Scammers have many funny ways to get our attention.
Block calls from unknown numbers is a great feature. If anyone hides their number when calling you, then call will be blocked. Problem is many marketing companies don't hide the number, so you still end up getting those.
The Google Pixel phones have a call screen option where if somebody calls you from a number that's not in your contacts the Google Assistant will answer it for you and if they don't leave a brief message stating who they are it will tell them that the person you're trying to reach is not available and most times you won't even notice they called unless you look at your call log. It's a beautiful feature that all phones should have and it cuts down on a lot of distraction throughout the day, especially if you're a busy person like myself.
I really like this feature. It was very useful when I got a doctor's office calling me and once my bank called but their numbers weren't in my phone book. (And yes I checked by calling back through verified numbers, not using the numbers they called from.)
This doesn't work. I still get calls from scammers. I just answer the phone saying I'm the local police department, how may I direct your call? They always hang up.
I usually say "This line is being recorded". Works when a person is on the line, but not with robocalls and computers. Perhaps it will work with computers. I said it to a computer and the call hung up.
@@LiaGarciaNu1 Please elaborate. I don't understand how just answering can cause a hack. They already know my number even without my answering, otherwise they couldn't have called me. I'm asking seriously.
I set my ringtone to silence. Then I ad custom ringtone for each contact, family, local business etc as contacts can each be added to groups and groups can be assigned a custom ringtone. When some one calls not in my contact list phone makes no noise. When family member calls a custom ringtone plays for each family member. When a local business in my contact list calls phone says a local business is calling. I have had it setup like this for years. It is so effective my phone is now boring because I never get calls much. Oh and did same thing for text. Works. If I need to I can easily change back to default ringtone if I need to get a call from some one or some business not in address book, then, switch back to silence as needed.
My answering service message is a recording of the operator saying that the number you have reached is not in service. You need those three tones that play before she speaks. Those tones tell the telemarketer's computer to take the number off of their list and don't waste time calling it. Then, that computer tells other telemarketer's computers not to call that number too. I never get telemarketer's calls.
@@MasterBlaster36914 I played it on my computer speakers and put my phone near the speakers while choosing the option on my voicemail to record a message.
My phone only gives me an option to "block unknown/ private numbers." My phone is older a Note10 plus. Same with my mom's Flip 5. We don't have the "block spam calls" feature on our phones but thanks for showing us "block unknown/private numbers" feature 😊
Friends and family were my unwanted scammers, so I just got a new number and didn't bother to give it out, any other calls go straight to voicemail that I never answer😂
I started answering the calls for entertainment. When they ask if I'm interested in selling my house, I go into a sales pitch for land I own in Scotland that comes with a title of nobility. They stopped calling 😂
Some people are so desperate and needy for attention, they can not miss a call. In my life, if someone can't leave a voice message, their call is not important. With Bluetooth in cars, I will not listen or respond to phone calls or text, unless I expect something important. Some people can't segregate important messages from chatting with their best buddies.
@@ilkkak3065 It is a work phone, so it doesn't matter, and if you do not give out personal information, that is all you need. Some people just get freaked out by a 'voice of authority'.
@ilkkak3065 Yes, my wife is a Realtor, but she reacts everytime it rang or vibrated. All calls can wait until she parks or finishes her current task, but she doesn't.
@artapaintpluscanvas Nothing more frustrating than calling a business phone number and no one answers, and worse, you actually leave a message and get no call-back.
Problem is the spam protection has a habit of labeling numbers that may be important as spam. I get calls from my doctors clinic or schedulers and they use different numbers that do not have ID. I rarely get spam calls so I leave those settings off.
My phone recognizes my doctor - the name comes up and I know to answer or get to the message when I can (I don’t answer my phone while driving unless I know it is a certain friend or two - I then pull over!!!
Unknown scammers ain't my problem, my problem is friends and relatives who try to scam me. BTW you can register your no. via your carrier provider or Govt. services to remove it from telemarketing list. Worked for me.
Many telemarketers use the government's Do Not Call List as a list of numbers to call, since they know it is a validated list of known valid/working numbers.
We leave our phone OFF the hook 24/7 !! If someone really wants to talk, they can leave a message in voice-mail & if someone wants to talk one-on-one, they make an appointment & we put the phone on the hook 10 minutes b4 the appointment until 10 minutes after the appointment. If nobody calls within that 20 minute window the phone goes back OFF the hook. The situation with telemarketers and scammers has gotten that BAD ! Thanks for reading.
it's because your phone carrier doesn't allow those options. you can't do anything about it unfortunately. for an example in my country no matter which carrier, that option doesn't show cause they don't allow it
News flash. There were work arounds for every option or setting you just showed. Something I've learned in my short 42 years. For every straight as an arrow, nice guy out there trying to help stop crookedness there's someone out there 10 times smarter, 10 times faster and 10 steps ahead in the criminal world. Scammers and hackers had ways around those settings the day before they came to your phone. If you think that's not true your only lying to yourself. Be diligent. Stay ahead, think smart and for God sake if you don't know the number don't answer the damn phone. Scammers need someone to talk to in order to scam them. Ie; no one to talk to no one to scam. Also sometimes the answer is so ridiculously stupid and easy that it's almost unbelievable.
These spam calls are absolutely maddening, I get like 10-15 a day. Blocking the numbers doesn't help, they just spoof another number and keep calling. And yes I know about silencing unknown callers but that still doesn't stop them from showing up as missed calls, so I still have 10-15 missed call notifications every day. I swear I'm about to just not have a phone anymore.
I only answer my phone if it’s someone I know or if I recognize the number (which I rarely even remember!). If it’s important and I don’t answer they will leave a message. Many of my calls say “scam risk” which is more reason not to answer!
If you block the scammer calls, then you won't be able to sue for $500 per call for each violation of the TCPA, the RFDCPA and whatever else your State may allow. It's not hard to sue companies in small claims court, or to find a good lawyer who will pursue those rights for you. Get on the National Do Not Call Registry because those allow you to receive $500 per unwanted call. It adds up. I'm currently litigating three cases. Good luck!
only in us . try that in sweden and police will dismiss all such in 5 sec , they are allowed to roam free because of-"freedom fro scammers? or until some rightwinger party makes this a election thingy because they did not cared before but now do to win an election because its suits them right now -just the typical way here , just hae not happened yet but wait
None of my Android phones have the spam protection setting. So I have favorites marked and only they can get through. I don't have a boss, but if I did they wouldn't be marked as a favorite. I'm a "Veronica". My unpaid personal time is mine, unless work has made prior compensated arrangements with me.
Keep in mind, if you go to a restaurant where you have to wait to be seated and they take your cell phone #, telling you they will send you a text/alert when your table is ready, you WONT get the notification unless you shut off this feature temporarily. Don’t forget or you’ll be hungry!
Unfortunately, hospitals and GP surgeries, as well as Police, do not show up as a recognisable number. Unless I am expecting a call, I let it go to voicemail, and ring back if they leave a meaningful message.
My Google Pixel 8 phone has AI built in, which will screen all incoming calls not listed in my Contacts and allow me to either reject outright, or have an AI "voice" ask the caller to identify themselves. Most of the callers are robocalls, so they don't respond, thus being automatically blocked in case they call me again. I have found that if I block ALL calls outside my contacts list, I miss calls from doctors' offices, because they use a second line to call me and that number usually isn't in my contacts list. I also may be expecting a call back from a vendor (plumber, for example) and they aren't in my contacts list either; but they will have a proper caller ID so that I can identify their legitimacy.
Do Not have Call ID AND SPAM PROTECTION option???? Answer people PLEASE!! so what do we do then? Or is this video not for us who don't have that particular option on our phones????
When I do answer an unknown number I say (XXXX City Morgue, may I help you?" I don't usually get repeat calls, but if I do I play with them until they hang up.
@@elmer528, I've been using Do Not Disturb for years and it's set to only allow contacts to ring through. I got tired of being awakened because at the time I drove mostly at night and when I'm awakened I can't magically get back to sleep. I have Do Not Disturb to engage at 8 in the morning and turn off around 7 which is when they tend to call. If it's not a Contact the call goes to voicemail. If I see the phone screen light up and I'm in the mood to mess with them I'll answer in Korean which really confuses them and they don't call back.
When someone calls I answered city morgue. They normally hang up and I block them from calling again. Some of them go ahead and try to pull their scam. I ask who are you trying to reach. When they tell me, I tell them that I am not going out to check toe tags to look for the person that you are trying to call and then I hang up and block them
I checked the SETTINGS. I am NOT supposed to be getting phone calls from UNKNOWN callers or people that are NOT in my contact list. THAT FUNCTION is NOT working! NOW WHAT??
My Samsung Galaxy S22+ does not have an option for CALLER ID AND SPAM. I cannot block Spam calls.I cannot filter Spam calls.There are no choices for the. I cannot block unknown numbers because I never know who is calling me from an unknown number. I wish I could block those spam calls.
Interesting video. I had all the settings same as it was advised in the vedio but still I get large number of unknown calls everyday. My phone app identifies scam or yelemarketing calls and I promptly block those numbers without answering. If I answer in error I pretend not to be the person they asking for and block them once they slam the phone down. It has been working so far.😅
For the pples who can't block just try this sentence " you can't scam me curry boy' as soon as they ask you what can i do for you while pretending to be ur bank or amazone or any other thing ,as soon as they hear you saying it they get angry fast and cuss you .that's what i do .
If it’s not one of my contacts I ignore it
Works a treat.
If it’s important they can text back or leave a voicemail
Unknown numbers never do
I wish, but my business depends on phone calls from often new people.
If you don't know the number let it go to voicemail so if they call and don't leave a message it wasn't important.
Where I live, nobody uses voice mail, ever. Because they charge you for it for some reason.
But as part of our culture, we always call twice, so if you hang, and they call back, it is important.
They will, because they're trying to sell you something. Send all non-contact calls to voicemail, and never set up your voicemail.
@@genio2509I’ve done that and a few seconds or minutes later there is another call. Usually the area code is the same or similar but the rest of the numbers are different. With AI it’s only going to get worse.

My Samsung A15 has the feature to block calls from unknown numbers enabled, but it doesn't work. Any ideas for how to stop these unsolicited calls?
I turned my default ring to silent, and I gave certain people that I knew a special ringtone so I'd know who was calling me.
Thank you, useful info.
That one sounded like a Russian, but Yugoslavians do good Russian imitations.
I checked the SETTINGS. I am NOT supposed to be getting phone calls from UNKNOWN callers or people that are NOT in my contact list. THAT FUNCTION is NOT working! NOW WHAT??
I have an iPhone 11 but it doesn’t have this feature on it. But thanks for the video anyway.👍
My Samsung Galaxy S22+ does not have an option for CALLER ID AND SPAM. I cannot block Spam calls.I cannot filter Spam calls.There are no choices for the. I cannot block unknown numbers because I never know who is calling me from an unknown number. I wish I could block those spam calls.
Interesting video. I had all the settings same as it was advised in the vedio but still I get large number of unknown calls everyday. My phone app identifies scam or yelemarketing calls and I promptly block those numbers without answering. If I answer in error I pretend not to be the person they asking for and block them once they slam the phone down. It has been working so far.😅
Thank you 😊
I'm a carer. My mother often receives calls from hospital that are unknown. So, ouch! I cannot apply.
Helpful. Thanks
Ah..Sergey.. there you are!!
You are awesome ! Thank You !
Thanks❤
I don't see any of those settings on my Huawei P10; what now?!!
Thank you very much.
Just don’t answer & block them.
I always block 🚫 an unknown Nbr and delete it after .
Thank you, appreciate your advice, subscribed.
I don't answer calls that I didn't give my number to 😅. Works wonders 😅
I have an Android S24 and A14 5G here in US and there is no spam setting or any settings of that nature. Not even with developer settings activated.
I don't have a message on my phone. I can see who called and call back. ...unknown numbers? Ignore and delete..
For the pples who can't block just try this sentence " you can't scam me curry boy' as soon as they ask you what can i do for you while pretending to be ur bank or amazone or any other thing ,as soon as they hear you saying it they get angry fast and cuss you .that's what i do .
Better to answer in a foreign language with a very loud voice, then end it with 'please hold.'
You mean like Russian accent?
Great video
I wish my phone had these features but it can only block unknown numbers, no extra setting against telemarketers and spammers.
Screw that! Have carrier delete voicemail. Once a scammer knows the numbers Active that's it.
I don’t answer calls if numbers not on my phone book. Spam text you can send it to your network provider.
I always mark unwanted phone number/calls as spam.
I’m sure this guy called me from my Bank. 😂
