Wow, 28/month for local only! I pay 29 for unlimited local and long distance here in Tampa.
Copper line or VOIP?

NoMoRobo only works on VOIP lines, not copper.
I don't use copper, I use Verizon which is Fiber Optics.
No Nomorobo works fine for me.

Well, great odds that Fiber is VOIP.

I don't know. Spectrum is my provider and nomorobo blocks many calls except the spoofed ones because they use a different one each time they call. I just don't answer it, they never leave a message.

Most likely VOIP, NoMoRobo does not work on copper.
Do you have a box or does it go through your internet cable?

I have just deleted four No Robo apps. because I'm still getting a dozen or so a day. Anyone having better success in blocking the ROBO's?
I don't think there is much you can do as they will call from what seems to be a local number.
I don't answer any without an ID I know.
I then block them I don't and have gotten it down to 1-3 a day and today none.

The same here.
If it's important, I find out with playback.

I get the triple package(internet, TV, and phone). There's a router and a box/recorder for each TV. I know it's not fiber optics.

Mine is fiber optics to the box on the outside of my house.
From the box it's copper shielded cable to my router and home phone system.

Yep, there's a fiber to copper transceiver (GBIC) in the box...

Your service is provided as VIOP, not copper. All phones have a "copper" plug unit that plugs into something, whether it be a copper line in the wall or on the baseboard, or an adapter box (ie. router/FIOS phone box). It's just that all your house phone wiring goes through the "FIOS" adapter box.
