Comment on Customer is mistakenly accused of text spamming for repeatedly replying STOP to political texts

Exactly what I do. Don’t respond and I just block and report.

I do the same for phone calls from unknown numbers. I just press the volume button to mute the ringer and let it time out. If you hang up or pickup you get added to the list as active.

I’ve been using the ‘Silence’ app, which lets only known-callers ring your phone. The rest get sent straight to voicemail

  I use that app to block area codes near my phone number since I moved far away from where I lived when I got this number.

Android has a feature where you can just ignore an incoming call. It doesn’t hang up it just stops ringing and goes back to the home screen.

  Pretty sure that’s what happens when you hit the volume button

  On iPhone it’s just pressing any of the volume buttons once. It will mute the ringer and let it go to voicemail.
