I've been getting calls from "Unknown" on my iPhone multiple times a day now for a few weeks.

Apparently my number has found its way onto a telemarketing/scammers list that blocks its numbers.

ATT is of no help.

The only thing I've found that might be of use to me is an app called Trapcall: https://www.trapcall.com/

But it costs $5/month.

Has anyone had any experience with Trapcall, good or bad?

Or is there a better solution for blocking blocked numbers on the iPhone? Thanks. :)

As soon as iOS supported custom ring tones, I changed my default ring to a silent one and gave my contacts a custom tone. I realize that this does not work for everyone, but telemarketers are a thing of the past for me.

Alternatively, you could try using Do Not Disturb for a while, with the exception for people in your Contacts. The telemarketers might give up (ha).
