Re: Blocking unwanted calls on the iPhone

Well, I gather that AT has started some kind of spam blocking service, but I am not an AT customer. And if you have android, there are call blocking apps. So I was hoping there might be something for the iPhone as well. I know about stopping each number after the fact. And I'm not worried about
