Web based call blocker for mobile devices

@Dashrender Because I plan on hearing again. 8-)
I can hear well enough to handle an emergency phone call from somebody that I know really well. Anybody else has my phone number with a note that says to text me in case of emergency.
I am working on getting a cochlear implant (waging war with my insurance company at the moment about it). I know several people who have one. My Pop's has one of the prototypes stuck in his head and it's been running for almost 30 years.
Once I figure out how to use it, I'll be on the phone again.
-
Aww.. ok that makes since. My friend can't hear anything under a gunshot, so no voice makes sense for him.... and your setup for you.
-
Yeah. It's strange too... Some deaf folks don't want to hear. They are perfectly fine being deaf. However, I used to be able to hear... and I want it back! lol.
If your friend is interested in hearing again, maybe he should check out the Cochlear Implant or bone-induction (depends on the type of hearing loss he's got)... Like anything, they work great for some folks and not so great for others.
-
I'll start a new topic about deafness and leave this to the OP.
-
@Dashrender Good point, lol.
Back on Topic: Doesn't android have a call blocker built in to it now?

There is a big difference between people who know how to hear and miss it and those that don't know it. I have several dead friends who hVe lacked hearing either always or from before they can remember and few want to hear. Either because lacking a sense means you have no idea what is being missed, or because the brain isn't prepared to process all of that or simply because wanting that back would counter a lifelong fight for identity.

Off the top of my head the majority of the phone calls I get weekly are from:
- Credit card system sales people
- Health insurance sales people
- SEO sales people
- Business loans availability sales people
- Buy ads for xxx event sales people
- Outsource companies wanting us to do handle our web design, etc sales people
- Mobile app companies wanting us to use their services sales people
- Local business listings companies wanting to sell their services sales people
- Vendors and Financing sales people which are already in my Contact list, so I just let those go to VM
-
is your cell phone listed on some webpage? or do you register your cell phone as you contact when signing up for things you're interested in?

As an one man shop I decided to use my cell as our business phone when I opened shop in 2003. The number is on all of our business info as well as online.

aww... well that explains it.
I did the same 14 years ago when I had a business. That's still the number I use today. Occasionally I get calls for that business that has been closed for more than 9 years now.

Port your cell number to Google Voice or RingTo. Problem solved.
