Note "Unavailable".

I haven't been counting, but I *think* "AM HEART ASSOC", "FLORIDA", and "GULF COAST WEST" were single-rings that NoMoRobo successfully nailed.

Not so sure about "V71416255400017..".

Can anybody shed some light on why "Unavailable" got through even so Incoming Call Block = On ??

Hover over the unavailable and the am heart, and see if you actually get a number.

Nomorobo allows you to report numbers that slip thru.  I don't know if it can handle true unavailable numbers.  Verizon has a fee service to block such which is different than blocking those who have a anonymous or private numbers.

No, no number - and when I tried to add it to my phonebook just to see what happened, the PhoneBook process returned "Entries may only contain alphanumeric, _, and space.  Please re-enter...."

FWIW, I hovered over the other non-numeric "Call From"s  and each of them revealed a number... but "Unavailable" did not.

Nomorobo does not block calls from charities.  It does have an option to block or unblock political calls, but I'm not sure it works.

On my NoMoRobo account screen, it allows Edits by phone number.

The two options are

  • Disable political robocall blocking
  • Disable advanced robocall detection

No clue about the second one, but it looks like political calls are blocked by default.

I like NoMoRobo right now - but I can see that I am really going to like it when 2018 comes around..... -)

OTOH, I would pay a  few bucks to block calls from charities.   I wonder what the deal is with NoMoRobo's not blocking them.

The law protects charities, although they are suppose to give you an opt out options.
