Waxa aad u fadhidaa casho oo talefanku waa soo dhacayaa. Waxaad rabtaa inaad iska indho tirto. Laakiin malaha waa shaqo? Ma laga yaabaa inay tahay qoys ama saaxiib xaalad degdeg ah? Maya. Waa robocall. 

Suuqgeeyayaasha, khayaanada taleefoonada, sahan suuqa, iyo dayn ururiyeyaasha dhamaantood waxay leeyihiin laba shay oo ay wadaagaan. Midda kowaad waa in ay wada xanaaqsan yihiin. Midda labaad waa in aanay isticmaalin faraha si ay u garaacaan telefoonka. Taasi waxay qaadataa waqti aad u badan, waxayna ku jiraan ganacsiga mugga. 

Intee in le'eg ayaa mugga? Gudaha Mareykanka, in ka badan 4.7 bilyan oo robocas ah Janaayo 2020^{(January 2020)} oo keliya. Taasi waa celcelis ahaan 14.4 wicitaan qof kasta oo Maraykanka jooga

Halkii ay farta garaaci lahaayeen, waxay isticmaalaan barnaamijyo si ay u maraan liiskooda lambarada si ay u wacaan. Marka qof ka jawaabo, ka dibna wac waxaa soo qaaday by aadane dhamaadka ay. Ama kaliya waxay ciyaaraysaa fariin hore loo duubay oo ku weydiinaysa inaad riixdo lambarada jawaabta. 

Waxaa jira laba siyaabood oo waaweyn oo lagu joojiyo ama loo joojiyo robocalls:

• Isticmaal taleefoonka qaab-dhismeedkiisa block.
• Adeegso^(Use) abka loogu talagalay in lagu xannibo wicitaannada taleefanka ee spamka ah.

Haddii qof aan^(NOT) ku jirin dadka aad la xidhiidho uu ku soo waco, taleefankaagu ma wici doono. Markaa iska hubi in dadka muhiimka kuu ah ay ku jiraan xidhiidhkaaga. 

Ogsoonow in habkani aanu dhab ahaantii xannibin robocalls. Waxay si fudud u joojin doontaa taleefanka inuu garaaco. Qofka soo wacaya waxa lagu soo diri doonaa fariintaada codka ah, oo nambarkoodu waxa uu ka muuqan doonaa dhawaanahan.

Apps-ka xannibaya Robocal^{(Robocall Blocking Apps)}

Haddii aad isticmaalayso mid ka mid ah hababka kor ku xusan, waxay u badan tahay inaadan u baahnayn app xannibaadda robocall, ilaa aad run ahaantii helayso wicitaanno ba'an. Halkaa marka ay marayso, waxa aad u fiican in aad wacdo adeeg bixiyahaaga oo aad codsato lambar telefoon oo ka duwan. Bixiyeyaal badan oo adeegyo ah ayaa kuu oggolaanaya inaad beddesho lambarkaaga onlayn kaligaa. Qaar ka mid ah adeeg bixiyayaasha ayaa sidoo kale bixiya abka xannibaadda wicitaanka ee bilaashka ah, markaa ka hubi iyaga marka hore.

Ka digtoonow xannibaadda abka robocall, ama abka kasta ee arrinkaas. Cilmi-baaraha amniga ^(Security)Dan Hastings ayaa eegay waxa qaar ka mid ah barnaamijyada xannibaadda robocall ee ugu sarreeya ay ku sameeyaan taleefannadayada.

Wuxuu ogaaday in qaar badan oo iyaga ka mid ah ay ka helayaan macluumaadka taleefankaaga inay iibin doonaan. Inta badan apps kuma aysan sheegin tan shatiga ama heshiisyada gaarka ah. Tixgeli inaad ku darto app ammaanka taleefankaaga^{(Consider adding a security app to your phone)} sidoo kale.

Yay ka iibinayaan macluumaadka? Ugu dambeyntii, ku socota ganacsatada. Suuqgeeyayaal sidoo kale waa mid ka mid ah kooxaha mas'uulka ka ah wax badan oo robocalls ah oo la sameeyo. Waxay ku heli doonaan hal waddo ama si kale.

How To Block Robocalls On Your Mobile Phone

You’re just sitting down to supper and the phone rings. You want to ignore it. But maybe it’s work? Maybe it’s family or a friend in an emergency? No. It’s a robocall. 

Telemarketers, phone scams, market surveys, and debt collectors all have two things in common. The first is that they are all annoying. The second is that they don’t use fingers to dial the phone. That takes too much time, and they’re in the business of volume. 

How much volume? In the U.S., over 4.7 billion robocalls in January 2020 alone. That’s an average of 14.4 calls for every person in the U.S.

Instead of finger dialing, they use programs to go through their list of numbers to call. When someone answers, then the call gets picked up by a human on their end. Or it just plays a pre-recorded message asking you to push numbers in response. 

There are two main ways to stop or block robocalls:

• Use the phone’s built-in block features.
• Use an app designed to block spam phone calls.

How To Use The Phone’s Built-In Block Call Features

Android

Depending on the maker of your Android phone and the version of Android installed, there may be two built-in ways to block robocalls. You can block them individually or you can block calls from any number that isn’t in your contacts. If you just want a quiet night altogether, you could also use Android’s do not disturb feature.

Block a Single Number

• While in the phone app, click on the three-dot menu near the top-right corner.

• A small menu will open. Click on Settings.

• In this window, we can either enter the number to block or click on Recents to find a recent caller to block.

• Once they are blocked, it will be added to the list. If we accidentally blocked a good number, tap on the red minus sign next to the number. That will unblock it.

Block All Numbers Not in Contacts

Be careful with this one when you’re trying to block robocalls. We can end up blocking a lot of legitimate calls too. Only do this if you’re sure everyone who may call you is in your contacts.

• In the phone app, click on the three-dot menu at the top-right corner.

• In the menu that opens, click Settings.

• Touch Block numbers.

• Tap the slider button next to Block unknown callers.

iPhone

The iPhone also has two built-in ways to block robocalls. Like the Android, you can block single numbers or use the Silence Unknown Callers feature.

Block a Single Number

• In the Phone app, touch Recents.
• Find the number you want to block. Tap on the iphone-information-icon.png icon next to it.
• Scroll to the bottom of the screen and then touch Block this Caller.

Silence Unknown Callers

If anyone that is NOT in your contacts calls you, your phone will not ring. So make sure people that are important to you are in your contacts. 

Note that this method doesn’t actually block robocalls. It will simply stop the phone from ringing. The caller will be sent to your voicemail though, and their number will show up in your Recents. 

• Go to Settings then Phone.
• About half-way down, tap on the slider button next to Silence Unknown Callers.

Robocall Blocking Apps

If you’re using any of the methods above, you probably don’t need a robocall blocking app, unless you’re really getting an avalanche of calls. At that point, it’s probably best to call your phone service provider and request a different phone number. Many service providers will allow you to switch your number online by yourself. Some service providers also provide free call blocking apps, so check with them first.

Be careful with robocall blocking apps, or any app for that matter. Security researcher Dan Hastings took a look at what some of the top robocall blocking apps are doing on our phones.

He found that a lot of them were getting information from your phone that they would sell. Most apps didn’t mention this in their license or privacy agreements. Consider adding a security app to your phone too.

Who are they selling the information to? Ultimately, to marketers. Marketers are also one of the groups responsible for a lot of the robocalls being made. They’ll get you one way or another.

But if you think you need an app, let’s look at a couple.

It sets up easily and has a well-defined privacy policy. The features on the free version are simple and easy to use. However, there are ads and some complaints that it eats a lot of data. 

Call Blocker by Grus Group

Call Blocker seems to be a popular name, and this free app does block robocalls. Plus, it allows you to do phone number searches, and schedule the Do Not Disturb feature. Set it for overnight or during meetings to block all calls.

An Ounce of Prevention

Like all things, a little forethought can go a long way. Be careful who you give your phone number to. Anyone who asks you for your phone number for contests or free stuff is going to call you. They’ll probably sell it to other people too. They’ll make you pay one way or another.
