TL;DR: As of Aug. 25, you can get a three-year subscription to RoboKiller Spam Call and Text Blocker for just $49.97 (reg. $119.88) in the Mashable Shop — that's 59% off.

It’s not just that spam calls and texts are annoying. It’s that they waste your time if you accidentally respond, get your hopes up if you’re waiting for a call, and might end up costing you if you don’t have an unlimited phone plan.

With RoboKiller, you can block spam calls and texts automatically or even set up your own automated Answer Bot that wastes the scammers’ time instead of yours.

During the Labor Day Sale, you can get a three-year RoboKiller subscription on sale for just $49.97. That’s a small price to pay to never hear about your car’s nonexistent extended warranty for three years.

RoboKiller doesn’t just block the numbers you tell it to. With so many scammers out there, you might never make a dent in their numbers. Instead, it uses a predictive call-blocking AI to intercept incoming spam calls in under a second, so your phone doesn’t even ring. Once RoboKiller picks up, it will automatically play one of your pre-selected Answer Bots that turn the tables on scammers by wasting their time instead.

There are a lot of spammers out there, but the developers of RoboKiller claim it can block as many as 99% of spam callers and 95% of spam texts. If any calls or texts do get through, you can report them to the app to help it improve its blocking for you and other users.

This app may be off the hook, but scammers won't be.

As part of our Labor Day sale, get a three-year RoboKiller subscription for $49.97 (reg. $119) through September 4 at 11:59 p.m. PT, with no coupon needed.
