At least two a day on landline, starting right at 8am, and at least five or six a day on my cell.

  Have any of you reported the calls [1]? They can't do anything about something they know nothing about, and they have taken extremely aggressive action in the past [2].

    How are you supposed to know if they are robocalls? I stopped answering my phone, but when I used to, it was always a person with a heavy accent trying to sell something.

      > person with a heavy accent Nice... Either way, a human is not a robot. Ignoring the do not call list would be up to the FTC to police. https://www.donotcall.gov/report.html https://www.donotcall.gov/report.html A personal trick of mine was to answer those calls, ask them to hold, and leave them waiting indefinitely. I started a leaderboard with my friends back in the day, and the winner was ~40min.

    It was supposed to be automatic! Shaker and stirred or whatever.

      I'm not sure how anyone could expect a telecom protocol to automatically determine if a call is a robocall. Those merely prevent spoofing and allow the FCC to track town offenders.

    yeah, and it doesn't help anything in 18 years of experience.
