3 ways to block robocalls, how an initiative may stop unwanted calls
QUESTION: I’m fed up with all these robocalls. Wasn’t there supposed to be a new system to take care of this annoying problem? ANSWER: The technology used to make robocalls and texts is cheap and easy to use, which is why the problem persists despite all the efforts to fight them. There was actually a drop in robocalls in 2020 according to industry experts, but the total number of robocalls made to U.S. phone numbers was still estimated to be nearly 46 billion. In January 2021, the volume per day was estimated to be almost 130 million, which translates to roughly 1,500 calls per second.
