Yeah, blocking the contractors I’m getting quotes from would suck.
I have a Twilio number that forwards to my real number, and the Twilio number is a contact in my address book. So anyone who gets the special Twilio number (eg, contractors, preschool, etc) can call from whatever number and never be blocked.
This only works if Twilio successfully blocks the spam calls before they are forwarded. I guess I’m not surprised that Twilio does a much better job of it than any of the dinosaur carriers.
Sure, but so far so good. The only "spam" call I get is people trying to get ahold of the previous owner of the phone number, but I find that far less annoying than marketing robo calls.
