You probably love your smartphone – except for maybe the phone part and, in particular, the telemarketers so often on the other end of the line. Telemarketers make 148 million annoying, time-wasting calls per day1 and do-not-call lists (where available) do not work2, 3 (and weren’t even meant to for many types of telemarketers4). Callblock stops these calls.

Callblock is something of a sequel to our ad blocker, Adblock Fast, which has 750,000 users and is rated 4.5 and 4 stars in the App Store and Google Play since launching alongside iOS 9 then the Samsung Galaxy S6. We’ve built on our experience filtering online advertisers to compile, classify, and apply what we think is the world’s biggest directory of telemarketers, with millions of entries from almost every country in the world.
