How do you denote a call as spam?
what happens when you denote an incoming call as spam ? specifically (just out of curiosity) from the perspective of the caller if and when they try to call again ...
job hunting on a couple of occasions over the last few years (and more recently) i have put a contact number on my CV
- which then gets published on the interweb. subsequent spam calls i flag up as such. not a big deal from my perspective, but was just wondering what the spammer would experience should they repeat the call.
thoughts ?

We used BTs 1572 option. It took about a month of constantly listing numbers but they eventually tailed off.
My phone IDs the call as spam and you can confirm it afterwards. If the spamer calls again, he/she will just get a "This number is not currently available" message

I think it varies from network to network. I think Vodafone, if you block a number you can choose for calls to be sent straight to voicemail or to just not connect.
Not sure about other networks.
You could do an experiment with a friend. Block his number on your phone and then use his to call your number.
the incoming call is coming from a number - all incoming call numbers would be compared to any number placed on the spam list. for a spam filter to be useful the call must be flagged up as spam before the person receiving picks up.
voice recognition requires surprisingly large amounts of computing power - so isn't going to happen on a mobile phone.
This, massively reduced spam calls for us and easy to use as per the testament of my 86 year old mother.

I ask them to hold and then go to the fire alarm. Give them a blast and they never seem to ring back.
We bought my wife’s parents a ‘true call’ device.
Now the only calls they receive are from known numbers & friends & family.
