That's great for people with land-line phones and who regularly use phones to talk to people they know.

For a ton of people, I'd bet most people on HN, phone is a medium of last resort, used exclusively for emergencies, delivery drivers, and grandma.

A landline phone, at $10 a month, is a pretty decent investment for anyone who spends a lot of time at home. I almost exclusively only take interviews, meetings, etc calls from my landline, solely because of call quality issues!
I tried Robokiller on my iPhone. It wasn't even catching half the calls. I ended the trial before I got charged. Anyone know of an app that actually works?
I’m paying for RoboKiller and it has gotten signifantly better over the last couple of months. I think because it is learning based in my address books and who I typically call. I absolutely love the app and swear by it now. Especially since it also intercepts my VOIP business line as well.
