It was one of the main reasons I gave up my land line. A few calls every day is pretty annoying.
I guess the article above describes the phone companies are working on it.
- distances 10y agoDo they not call on mobiles then? I've never received a robocall so I don't really know how this works.
- dietrichepp 10y agoIt's illegal to robocall a mobile number without permission. I still get a few per month.
- the_watcher 10y agoI get a few per week. Sometimes a few per day. If your phone number has ever been publicly available, those breaking the law can potentially get access to it. And all of them sell the lists to others in the space.
- superuser2 10y ago300 million Americans, 10 digits 0-9. Even dialing totally blind you'd expect a ~3% hit rate. Limit that to actual area codes (public information) and bias it towards the more populous ones, and you could probably do considerably better. I'm not sure how important lists are.
- gcb0 10y agotell that to the avg 2/day calls i get
- ghaff 10y agoI get more on landline than mobile although YMMV and the delta seems to be shrinking based on anec-data. It has gotten to the point with mobile though that I find I do need to follow "Do Not Disturb" hygiene when traveling internationally lest I get awakened in the middle of the night.
- ams6110 10y agoI have not had a landline in years. I get several robocalls a day on my mobile. Any caller I don't have in my address book gets sent to voicemail.
- jgalt212 10y agoAs a data point, I get more robocalls on my cell than home phone. Both numbers have been registered with the ineffective donotcall.gov
