During the last election I was bombarded with political calls on my house phone which I rarely use; so I unplugged it. A few months after the election I remembered it was unplugged and thought, why do I still need this? So after 25 years of use I dropped my house phone and now rely on my cell. Its an I-Phone 10 which does a good job of screening robo calls. Every robo number that calls, I can block.

I also put a name on every person or company I do business with so I can see right away who's calling. If its an unknown number I let it go to message where I let the caller know to leave a message and I'll call back. Robo calls never do.
I know that may be difficult to do as a small business but I've noticed more and more small businesses are doing exactly that. I think most of us understand that and would have no problem leaving a message for the business to listen to and filter.

You just have to be proactive and fight back as much as possible. Doesn't stop them completely but I've gone from over 20 or more calls a day to just 3 or 4.
