I have an app on my Android phone called Calls Blacklist. I whitelisted my contacts and block everything else. It blocks calls coming in on my mobile number, but I also have a Google Voice number that it doesn’t block calls for. Weird thing is that I only seem to get blocked spam calls after placing an outgoing call using the Google Voice app, and the blocked calls are always from the last number I dialed. They try to call at different times for about a week then stop. Could someone have access to my outgoing G-Voice call info? How would I find out if they do?
Google could be selling it as a live number fom the servers seeing outgoing activity, in the same way a Gmail is sold as an active address.
Yeah honestly my first suspect in this scenario would be Google itself.
You can do the same with the regular android phone app, why bother with a third party application? Can they really be trusted?
The android app blocks unidentified callers and blacklisted numbers. This doesn’t affect calls from spoofed numbers, and I haven’t found the app’s spam detection to be effective enough.
Oh really, I could have sworn there was a feature to block anyone not in my contact list. Will check it out.
