I am looking for an app that will block ALL calls except from numbers in my contact list. I do not care if it goes to voice mail i am tired of 10,12,14,16 calls a day from people trying to sell me something. I did not have much problems with this till recently as i am at the age for a Medicare supplement and getting tons of calls. Any one know of a good free app I do not want one i have to block the no. after the call I do not want the call to get thru in the first place.
Thanks for any information in advance.

What type of phone you have?
I believe with a IPhone you can set your phone to only accept calls from your contacts

I would start by blocking all the call numbers of unwanted calls Try this to block unknown callers.. youtu.be/Q2CuFeFUEGM

I get very few scam calls in my iPhone.
The house phone is a different matter. 10 a day and 9 are scam/spam calls. I don’t answe it if I don’t recognize the number.
I’m working on momma to get rid of the landline.

My Samsung has an option to block any unknown callers. I opened the phone and found it in the settings.

Sounds like there is something going on with your phone being it won’t block calls .

A little background. I am NOT computer savy so i have a hard time operating my phone. When i go to do any thing other than simple operations i am scared to death i will screw it up,wipe out information or something else. I looked in the play store for blocker apps but when reading the reviews each app had the it is the best,it is the worst, easiest hardest to use,works great doesn't work. So i am hesitant to down load one. These calls come at the most inappropriate times. (When fishing and trying to relax,eating a meal,working on equipment with greasy hands,trying to sleep,have had calls as early as 6 AM and as late as 10PM. I do not want to turn phone off as we are at that age where we have family with health issues and do not want to miss an important call. We also have older friends with instructions "call us if you need anything" even if just putting salt in waterconditioner. Do not want to miss a call from friends that just want to talk. With that said i was hoping some one had an app that worked or knew of some one that did that would get me headed in the right direction. I did some calculations and on a bad day i am getting a call every 45 min and a good day every 2 hrs. If the phone no. Is not in my contacts i do not want my phone to ring. I do not care if it goes to voice mail because if they leave a message and i need to contact them i can call back. Sorry for the long post but i am really tired of these calls.

I'm on the other side of the coin, I actually enjoy getting calls from "Habib" telling me that I've been accepted to blah blah blah. I let him go thru his whole speech then I either act like I'm to busy to take his call or I'm hard of hearing. After a while they quit calling.
I used to get calls all the time from scammers and the like and then they just stopped calling me. Kinda sad really, I really miss taking up 30-40 minutes of their time before they get mad and tell me to "go *(^*$*&&^ myself". Then we get into a little argument on the phone about how I am definitely not going to refinance my credit cards. Really rubs salt in the would for them.
At any rate hope you find what you are looking for.

Depending on your phone service you may not want to answer calls with area code 855. I was checking a number and this came up on Google... "No city has the area code 855 . It is a toll free area code used throughout the United States and Canada. The calls are free to the caller because the receiving party pays the long distance charges of the call. You cannot tell who is calling from that number and it is highly likely it is a scam." JUst another example of the FCC and the government helping us out.
How is that do not call list working out?
