These exist for most phones and provider. However, having read the terms of service on them, they pretty much collect a bunch of data about you for marketing purposes, so it kind of defeats the point. They will, for example, collect the numbers of everyone who calls you. (They have to be able to do that in order to look up and block calls from known spammers.) No thanks.
For now, I block spammy numbers and unknown/private numbers. If it gets bad, I'll move to a whitelist (only people on my contact list ring through).
It's galling beyond belief that any political party anywhere would let the abuse of the phone system become a free speech issue. These people are actively making the world worse. (And what's worse is how cheaply they're bought off. Come on, you scummy congresspeople, are you really worth so little?)
