They KNOW they’re spam calls. They KNOW the uncheckmarked numbers are not valid. So why the hell do they let these calls through? Anyone know?
Something something and thus they profit from them? 🤷
Is this with your unknown caller option enabled?
I paid $50 for “Robokiller” for a year. The shit calls do not ring anymore.
Intercept? They facilitate them lol
Apple added a setting in iOS 17 that lets you block calls that the carrier marks as spam, but unfortunately it doesn’t actually work. It worked for maybe two beta builds over the summer, then it stopped and Apple hasn’t bothered to fix it.
Ayo, I don’t get spam risk written on unknown phone numbers on my iPhone 13 Pro. Is there some setting option to enable that?
It’s prob AT+T doing it. It JUST started. Now I don’t answer ANY phone calls. When it stops ringing I look at the number to see if I have to call back. Fucking pain in the ass- every day
The phone companies make a fraction of a penny for each one of these calls to facilitate the interconnection, that’s why it will never stop.
aren’t they required to develop systems to prevent this in order to keep CRTC licenses?
T-Mobile offers an app for it.
I just answer and start saying racist shit if they have an Indian accent. Is that bad? Probably, but fuck em.
I did SO MUCH of that- ohhh the bad stuff I said. They start off all polite but when they hear me they turn into Satan. They’re all scumbags
I have a coworker that tries to have elaborate conversations with them. I don’t have that kind of patience.
But they’d lose revenue!
Is your number on the Do Not Call list? You have to renew it every so often too.
Use Robokiller
Never cuz they suck!
I dont get any anymore
If you live in the US, your carrier likely offers an app that will prevent spam calls from ringing and spam texts from delivering. It may cost a couple bucks (USD) a month or may be free. AT&T ActiveArmor is absolutely superb at blocking spam calls and texts and I notice the crazy increase in spam every time I turn it off or leave AT&T. The premium version comes free with AT&T Unlimited Premium and AT&T Unlimited Elite (for those that still have it) and is I think a $3.99 /mo add-on for other plans. There is also a free, less robust version, available to users on cheaper plans as well. But to answer your question, carriers already can. It’s your job as a customer to decide if you want to let them.
