Cell phone spam
I'm getting a lot of ads and such on my cell phone. Is there a way to block them? I have an Android phone from Verizon. Thanks.

So what numbers do you block. I get calls a few digits from my cell number, a few digits from my google voice number, a few digits from my old land line, I call my kid in DC and get calls from DC. I gave up blocking them and just hit Reject Call.

I find that blocking numbers is not really effective anymore. They just call with a different number. Plus they are now much more sophisticated and show a local area code. Your options are just don't answer unless you know who is calling. Unfortunately for me my mobile is also my business phone so I usually need to answer but as soon as I recognize it as a robo call or spam I just hang up.
I have a very persistent one trying to sell an automotive warranty. I just put them on speaker and let them waste their time until they realize no one is listening.
