I have blocked so many numbers on my phone that Spam Call appears on my screen.

I also get emails; I just send them to spam

It's slow but it is definitely showing results

The thing I hate is those texts with 20 people on them, because the other folks on the call start replying and calling each other names. I have not figured out how to block the source number of a group mail so I just delete them.
