Why can't Spectrum just block calls identified as spam? or are computer-generated?

I get at least a half dozen calls labeled SPAM ringing through on my phone each day. If the call is already identified as a SPAM risk, PLEASE just block them! I have all the settings set to do that but it's not happening. In addition, I get another three or four calls each day that are spoofed -- either shows a city name or Unavailable. I miss NOMOROBO where the calls would be diverted and cut off. I'm this-close to just shutting down the number altogether because the constantly ringing phone is driving me nuts. The only reason I keep a "land line" is to have a back up phone if something goes wrong with my mobile. If you can't keep these calls from coming through, I am just going to shut off the ringer on all the phones. So annoying that I couldn't get a live person on your customer contact number because there are no options for digital phone complaints! And you CHARGE for tech support!

    Hello @JoyRiderLkwd


    Welcome to our community! I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the home phone. When calling in, we do not charge for tech support. The only way you would be charged when calling in is if you are making a payment on your bill through a live agent as opposed to the phone menu or our My Spectrum app/our website. You should be able to reach a live agent in our phone support by saying home phone.

    Some of our community members are great with options for the home phone settings and other tricks to try to help with the spam calls. @Satch do you have any ideas?
