It’s been just about a month since I first told you of my woes with unwanted phone calls for the business owner who had my phone number before me and didn’t pay his bills. And it was then that I told you about PrivacyStar.
PrivacyStar, a smart-phone app that allows you to block callers and also file a report straight from the app, has literally saved me hundreds of unwanted phone calls.
I know for a fact that the PrivacyStar app is working because I have not gotten one unwanted phone call since I blocked the numbers. The app on my phone, however, only shows that it has blocked one call. ?? It must be an issue with the app because I can 110% tell you that it is blocking my calls. I literally went from several, up to 10, unwanted calls per day to zero. I know it’s hard to believe.
Also, I can to the PrivacyStar website and see that it has blocked a few calls that were on my list. Weird that they are not showing on my phone app.
This is a screen shot directly from the site. I had three calls from numbers I had blocked on January 12 within minutes of each other. No doubt same person, different number. Had I not added them to my blocked list they would have come through to me! Frustrating.
The PrivacyStar website shows a great amount of detail. As you can see above I can see date, time, number, caller… (I’ve blocked out the ones that show names). You can also create a complaint from the site on that blue link, but you can create a complaint directly from the app too.
Using PrivacyStar is as easy as downloading an app – and you get a FREE 7-day trial to check it out – and adding numbers you want to block in less than a minute. It’s a super easy app to use even for the most tech averse. 
All you have to do is type in the phone number you want to block and click “Block Number”. That’s it.
