Questions people ask about spam calls, telemarketers, harassing calls, scammers, and BlockTheCalls.
Straight answers
People who get spam calls, telemarketers, harassing calls, and scam calls. Families helping an aging parent, a child, or someone else who needs a hand. People who need a more flexible, customizable option than what phone companies, Google, and Apple already offer, and who still need the right calls to get through.
Common phone scams include government or business imposters, Social Security and IRS tricks, tech-support scams, grandparent or family-emergency scams, prize and lottery calls, fake debt collection, warranty and auto scams, charity fraud, romance scams, and AI voice impersonation. Scammers also spoof local numbers so the call looks familiar.
We screen unfamiliar incoming calls so an older parent or other vulnerable person gets more context before answering. If you manage a supervised family line, you are notified when protection is removed, someone tries to turn it off, or it needs attention.
No. BlockTheCalls is an AI assistant focused on protecting incoming calls. Your number, texts, outbound calls, and 911 stay with your phone and carrier.
You continue to dial out, including 911, using your normal phone. BlockTheCalls does not provide outbound or emergency calling.

No. The National Do Not Call Registry limits many legal telemarketers. Scammers and many robocalls ignore it. Still register, then add screening for unfamiliar callers.
No. No screening tool catches every spam call, telemarketer, or scammer. Many scammers set up businesses that look legitimate and rotate phone numbers, so it takes time for those numbers to earn a bad reputation. We help make that reputation signal show up faster, give you more context before you answer, and keep trusted callers reachable.
