    Anyone know of a good app (iPhone) that blocks relatively suspicious numbers? As in, one that does it before it even rings...tired of 9pm calls from robo-dials and can't always silence the phone.

    not sure if one even exists but it would be pretty awesome, had 3 calls per day over the last week and it's from all over the country.

    No but set your phone to "do not disturb" after 9:00pm. Then add your important contacts in your VIP section. Google it to find how that works.

    Okay. Under settings there is the phone settings. You will see a section called blocked. In there you can enter numbers to block. I hope that helps.

    The blocked call feature works well but if they keep calling from a different number this will not help your situation.

    The do not disturb suggestion makes sense to me

    Dnd works great. I have mine set from 10pm-6am. If a favorite calls the call comes through but this doesn't block calls outside of the dnd hours.

    Installed Cooper At/3's (265/70R16) and ProComp 7089 Rims. Tinted front windows. Did the Fog Light Anytime mod. Did the tailgate mod. Added running boards. Adding sound Deadening from RAAMaudio. Replacing stock speakers with Polk Audio DB6501's.
    That doesn't work. These clowns completely ignore the law and with voice over ip along with prepaid cell and proxy phone robo-dialers they are impossible to catch. They can also fake the caller-id (which is also a federal offence), making it even harder. I have an Android phone and use "Call Control". Works well, not sure if it's available for iPhones

    He can have this carrier blocked unknown callers I think.
    Or maybe it's just block private numbers,
    Not too sure.
