What Is Robokiller's Call Screening Feature?
Robokiller's Call Screening is a feature designed to block up to 99% of spam calls using live audio fingerprinting. It screens unknown callers by informing them that your number is protected by Robokiller, asking for their first and last name, and requesting the reason for the call. If the call seems legitimate, Robokiller shares the caller’s name and reason with you, so you can decide whether to answer. (support.robokiller.com)
How Does Call Screening Work?
- Informing the Caller: When an unknown number calls, Robokiller notifies them that your number is protected.
- Gathering Information: The caller is prompted to provide their name and the purpose of the call.
- Sharing Details: If the call appears legitimate, Robokiller forwards the caller's information to you, allowing you to decide whether to answer.
