Carriers no longer get paid per call, so you'd think they'd be incentivized to lower the load on their network by reducing the number of spam calls.

- pxeboot 8y agoAt least in the US, the carrier initiating the call still pays the receiving carrier. This is less then 1¢/minute in most cases, but still represents real money when multipled by millions of calls a day. Users just pay for 'Unlimited Calling' now, but all the legacy payment structures still exist on the back end.

- nikanj 8y agoThe more people block most calls, the less useful the ability to make calls is. And making calls is rather important for telcos.
