Just give consumers the ability to see the actual number or VOIP address that's calling them instead of "Caller ID", even if the number is blocked. Then consumers can accurately create an adblock-like list of spam numbers, block calls from outside their country, etc.
- reustle 8y agoThe problem I notice is that I'm getting calls from my local area code (low population area). Chances are those numbers are registered, used, and released. Poor dev or person in the near future will find themselves on a blacklist.
- MiddleEndian 8y agoThose numbers are just the caller id rather than the true origin of the caller. Anybody can claim anything as their caller id. The phone companies know the true origin (usually outside the US) but they do not pass that information forward.
