That is because the major cell carriers have figured out how to identify most spam callers spoofing phony phone numbers, many coming from overseas via the internet. Some of these apps were developed internally and others from free lance developers. Sure I am that if Android smart phones don't have similar service, they will very soon, just as most email services have figured out how to weed out many of the spam mails we get and shove them into our spam folders with no effort on our part.
