I dont think unknown numbers should be allowed at all, esp for business. I think its a reasonable requirement that if a business wants to call someone they are willing to identify them self.
- simiones 2mo agoI think they meant "unknown numbers" as "numbers that are not saved in my phone", not hidden numbers.
- embedding-shape 2mo agoYeah, Spain went this route. We used to get telemarketing calls from random mobile phone numbers (or straight up "hidden" number), so was hard to really know where they came from, unless the person admitted it in the phone call. A year or so that was made illegal, and now every "unwanted telemarketing" call has to come from a landline with a regional code, or the toll-free numbers, which leads to them actually having to register first, so easier to crack down on the ones that don't follow the "anti-spam" lists like Lista Robinson and similar, or break the rules in other ways.
- klez 2mo agoI suppose this is better than nothing, but how do they track companies that don't comply and still use fake/mobile/hidden numbers?
- contubernio 2mo agoMy own bank in Spain calls me constantly cold from landlines.
- embedding-shape 2mo agoYeah, same, sadly the law makes exceptions for companies who already have existing relationships with you, but at least then you can vote against these sort of spam calls with your wallet. How long you've been on Lista Robinson by the way?
