They could not fix it. However, it would be a big value-add to me if, say, the big 4 US carriers could add an out-of-band security check and block calls to their networks from numbers they control but which are spoofed.
I get way too many calls from area codes and prefixes I recognize. This would help me get some of that back.
- metildaa 8y agoThere are legitimate use cases like Google Voice for sending caller ID that another carrier owns. Despite that, a basic authorized users list would be an easy fix, doubt that'll ever happen though. Look at the mess that LRN and CNAM data are, providers will nickel and dime for access to data that doesn't cost much to maintain...
- Retric 8y agoGoogle Voice could A join the system or B have ??? as their caller ID either one would be useful. Again, they can say whatever number they want as long as I can opt out and block unknown numbers. However, the current system is largely useless when you get spoofed calls from numbers you recognize.
