As a counterpoint, I frequently get robocalls from area codes near where I travel. I recently visited Virginia and received robocalls from Virginia area codes for a while. A couple years ago I visited California and received more than the usual number of robocalls from California. A few years ago I visited Seattle and received robocalls from Washington. I most recently moved within Texas and the constant robocalls changed area codes to the more common local one.
I really _really_ wish I could flag an incoming call to my telecom provider and get paid money for it charged to the caller. Then let the telecom provider prove that it was or wasn't malicious.
- dunham 5y agoSo far I haven't had this issue. I am in Seattle (for years), still have my 415 (San Francisco) phone number, and can still filter spam by ignoring calls from 415. If you don't mind sharing, which provider are you using? And, if it is Verizon, have you opted out of data sharing?
- inetknght 5y agoT-mobile. I've opted out of all sharing that I'm aware of. But as I'm sure you're also aware, it's an endless fight; modern "businesses" frequently reset settings, rename settings, or add new settings with defaults that benefit them instead of the customer.
- paulnpace 5y agoI moved to Vegas from California, and on my California number never received any Nevada area robocallers. When I see that it is a Nevada number, I just answer. I recently switched from using regular AT&T cell plan to a VoIP provider and a T-Mobile hotspot. After transferring my number to the VoIP provider, I've gone from 5-10 robocalls per day to one every few days to a week. Haven't received an SMS spam message.
