Letter: A way to hang up on robocalls

I finally became real tired of receiving six or more “robo calls” a day during the primary. I found a free service online that will block these calls called Nomorobo. There was only one problem. The program would ring once to identify the call as a robo call and then hang up. Better than before, though. I then became tired of the phone ringing even once. We were due for new phones after 14 years so I found one that makes it possible to silence the first ring. Now the calls are blocked with no ring.
