<![CDATA["Don't answer unknown numbers" is a 1995 hack we keep passing around.]]>"Don't answer unknown numbers" is a 1995 hack we keep passing around. It fails because your phone has no context to tell strangers from your plumber.

Anti-spam ships in every WIGGWIGG plan, no premium tier. A personal block list (encrypted on our side, hashes used for matching incoming calls) plus call screening (an announcement plays before the call connects; auto-dialers usually hang up rather than wait) handle the actual blocking.

Three more signals warn you when a call looks suspicious: STIR/SHAKEN attestation, a check on the caller's phone provider, and an opt-in community spam list (threshold-gated, hash-only). You see the warning before answering and decide.
