You keep asking this every month or two, and the answer doesn¡¯t change.?
For the most part, I¡¯m just looking for information.
At some point, my carrier started marking some incoming calls as ¡°possible spam¡± or ¡°likely spam.¡±
More recently, I¡¯ve been told ¡°incoming calls marked by a checkmark are verified by the carrier.¡±
Quite often, the two disagree, and some calls marked as ¡°likely spam come from outside my contacts list but clearly from people I know.
Bottom line, none of these is 100% accurate, but I would hope that either my carrier or Apple would devise an algorithm where I could programmatically have calls that carry EITHER of the above designations to be answered by a message that would state that unless the caller leaves an identifying message, the caller will be blocked.
One problem with that is that my OUTGOING message is treated by carriers and/or recipient phones as an SMS or iMessage. In order for it to be recognizable by business multi-extension systems or POTS phones as a voicemail, it would have to be just that (an audible rather than text response) and I don¡¯t know how to make that happen from an iPhone.
