Automatically Block Robo-Dialed Calls

Wave Phone service is compatible with Nomorobo, a free service that blocks or hangs up on illegal robocalls and telemarketers.

Nomorobo’s servers catch solicitation calls and hang up on them before you answer the call. All other calls are allowed to proceed as normal. Once you sign up, you will hear a single ring when a call is filtered by Nomorobo.
