  • Check your device. There are some settings built into devices that let you block the numbers. Ask your manufacturer if you have any questions.
  • Block individual numbers that are suspicious as they come in. Or turn on a "do not disturb" setting for robocalls.
  • Some wireless carriers provide paid services to avoid robocalls.
