We all know the feeling of getting a call or text from an unknown number. You might check who it is, only to find that it’s a spam call or text. They can be annoying, persistent, and even dangerous. So, how do you stop receiving calls and texts from strangers? Here are some tips on how to put an end to them.

Block Numbers

The first step in stopping spam calls and texts is to block the numbers they’re coming from. Most phones allow you to easily block numbers by going into your settings. For example, if you have an iPhone, go into “Settings” > “Phone” > “Blocked Contacts” > “Add New…” You can then enter the number that is sending you unwanted messages.

Report Spam Calls/Texts

Another way to stop receiving spam calls and texts is by reporting them as spam. Most phone carriers offer a way for you to report those numbers as spam so that they can take appropriate action against them. For example, Verizon offers its customers the ability to report spam calls directly from their My Verizon app or online portal. By doing this, you will help other people stay safe from similar scams in the future. If you continue receiving spam calls or texts after reporting the number, you can work with a lawyer who specializes in helping customers stop spam calls.

Get a Call-Blocking App

Finally, you can download a call-blocking app like Truecaller or Hiya that will automatically detect and block any suspicious numbers before they even reach your phone. These apps also offer features like caller ID verification so that you know exactly who is calling before answering any call or text message. This will give you more control over who can contact you and when they can do it, allowing you to prevent any unwanted interactions with potential scammers or spammers.

Spam calls and texts are annoying at best and dangerous at worst—but there are ways for you to protect yourself from them. By blocking numbers, reporting suspicious activity, and using call-blocking apps, you can make sure that only legitimate contacts are able to reach out to you without any hassle or worry about being scammed or taken advantage of. With these tips in mind, your phone should be safe from spammers in no time.
