  I am 34 and i have never received robocalls before this year, in which I’ve already gotten a dozen or more calls

    they destroyed landlines with constant auto-dialing calls. when you pick up they either play a recording or in early days switch to a live scammer in a boiler-room somewhere. i moved my landline to google voice and silence is golden. get emailed transcripts of talking or it’s a few seconds of silence. brave new world

      I saw a video saying that it was just a matter of tele companies just verifying and blocking callers, but that they had no incentive to do so.🤷 Google voice sounds so awesome. A shame it seems like it’s only available in the US

        it was complicated moving the number since they only accept mobile numbers. had to move to a burner AT&T phone, then to google voice. been 20 years so far. nothing but spam there now. you can pick fro available numbers. maybe VPN would work. expect google will just end the service one day. voice.google.com
