Move your phone to ooma.com. service is fast and easy.

My phone bill dropped compared to comcast and I have eliminated spam calls.

Please explain: why would Ooma service, in and of itself, reduce spam calls?

I had a Comcast phone service a few years ago. Hours after it was activated I was getting telemarketers asking for me by name.

Many options including blocking anyone not in your contact list. Also include spammer blocking service nomorobo. Comcast also allows nomorobo service for free.

I have Ooma and I still get the local number(spoofed?) spam calls. What am I doing wrong?

Go to web page and configure max security including nomorobo. I was getting a great deal of spoofed calls. Seems to have worked
