Presumably it would reduce the amount of fraud. While it may not deter legal nuisance calls, that should make the phone a more reliable communications medium.

Presumably it would reduce the amount of fraud. While it may not deter legal nuisance calls, that should make the phone a more reliable communications medium. That's especially true for businesses and government since, with the current state of affairs, it isn't even worth verifying that an incoming call is legitimate. Not to mention that spoofed numbers make targeted attacks possible.
- mehrdadn 7y agoOff-topic, but your sentence made me realize a useful difference between "lawful" and "legal". I first read "legal" as "relating to matters of law" rather than "lawful", and then realized you meant the latter. Now I see why the word "lawful" might be used! Regarding your actual reply, though, that basically means we shouldn't really hold our breaths for this to actually stop calls? :\ Just less fraud, which is nice, but from the only thing that makes these calls such a nuisance.
