No interest in mathing the number, but I feel like I don’t actually answer even 10% of the phone calls attempted to my phone.

Most are blocked by AT&T ActiveArmor app. And thank goodness for the timing of the new iPhone call screening feature for unknown callers because about the same time I started getting a serious uptick of those.

One might think by now my number would start getting pruned out of spammer lists because of the high degree of non-reachability.

One would apparently be wrong.

I know the call screening feature works as it is supposed to, because I do get legitimate calls from unknown numbers with people actually recording who they are and what they want.

See what I put up with?

Yep. I’m done. #ATT #ActiveArmor notifications are now limited to just the Notification Center. No banners. No sounds. Even though they don’t ring, I don’t need a notification of spam call attempts. Especially when most of them are auto dialers that attempt a half dozen or more times in rapid-fire succession.

Added benefit of also not getting nagged any more to use AT&T’s VPN service.

Inexplicably, calls to my office number which also ring the iOS app for Grandstream Wave show up in my regular phone list as unknown callers. Sure wish I could mark all those as always known. Or stop them from appearing entirely. I guess I should start marking each one as known from now on.
