It's free, it works well, but it doesn't work with regular copper landlines.<br /><br />If you have a VoIP-based "landline" service that offers "simultaneous ring", such as FiOS, you designate Nomorobo's number as the one that receives calls in parallel with your regular phones. If the call matches their database of robocalls, they pick up and hang up, so you only get one ring.<br /><br />You can choose to allow political robocalls while blocking others. And it lets through legitimate "personal" robocalls such as doctor appointment and prescription reminders.<br /><br />From PCMag's review: "Nomorobo is a free service. The company behind it—Telephone Science—makes its money from providing its database of robocalling numbers to carriers like Ooma Premier and Sonic, which use it as part their own robocall-blocking service."A.
