| Telezapper2020jingle.wav |
This jingle, when added to the beginning of you outgoing voicemail message, will confuse many Robocallers’ computers into thinking your phone is not working and prevent some from leaving their unwanted voicemail messages. Note: TeleZapper2020’s jingle may also prevent some wanted Robocall voice mails so consider that prior to using it. If you choose to use this, we take no responsibility for lost Robocalls. Many consumers are now choosing to have alerts like pharmacy notifications, delivered by text, e-mails or via apps rather than Robocalls. This may be a good option to consider.
Here is a list of call blocking apps and services.
