Goddammit, Trump! You won already! Why the fuck are you still Robo-calling me?

Nomorobo. It’s free for your landline and there’s a cheap app for your cell. And it works perfectly. Robocalls are automatically routed away from your number to die a squealing death somewhere. Our phone rings once and then kills it. Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, it does. Added benefit: while it kills robocalls, it allows automated calls about prescriptions, etc.

I thought political calls were exempt from this?

You’re thinking of the utterly worthless FTC “Do Not Call” registry, which does indeed exempt political calls. Nomorobo is a private option, and blocks anything its database feels is a robocaller.

I am getting this right now. Multi-tasking. If this works, I will owe you big time.

When he pressed a button saying he would contact his Congress-critter, it went to another option where you could donate.

The concept of giving money to a self-proclaimed billionaire for ANY REASON simply blows my tiny mind!

Poof!

Calls do sometimes get through. When they do, go to their site and report the number. I suspect that after a couple of such reports, NoMoRobo blocks the new number as well.

I was under the impression that unsolicited phone calls to cell phones were against the law. Was I misinformed?

Well, he hasn’t selected his Secretary of State yet, so it could be that…

You’d think that Secretary of State would be chosen via a game show rather than random phone calls.

Can’t use it here. I was hoping that, even if they didn’t support my local carrier, they’d provide a call forwarding version that would work with any phone (and I’d have to pay for forwarding). But no such luck.

Title says it all. Yeah, I’m registered Republican, but I didn’t vote for him. Why the fuck are his Robo-minions still calling my house weeks after the election?

Hey, somebody has to pay for his victory tour!

No idea, as I don’t use a cell phone.
