What made my otherwise-largely-quiescent phone go berserk was joining AARP. Went from weeks between random telemarketing call to now getting sometimes more than 100 calls before lunchtime. Today, I couldn't hang up on one person offering me Medicare benefits fast enough before another was already beeping on call waiting. :/ Moral of the story? If you retire and join AARP, put your most hated enemy's phone number down instead of yours. :( Matt On Thu, Feb 24, 2022 at 7:28 PM Tom Mitchell <tmitchell () netelastic com> wrote:
I've seen an uptick, but nothing too dramatic. Maybe 4-5 junk calls a day - mostly afternoon. -- Tom On Sun, Feb 20, 2022 at 9:57 AM Josh Luthman <josh () imaginenetworksllc com> wrote:Mine exploded since the requirement date.

Specifically, voice service providers Bandwidth and Vonage lost a partial exemption from STIR/SHAKEN because they failed to meet STIR/SHAKEN implementation commitments and have been referred to the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau for further investigation.So for probably a year or so before the Stir/Shaken mandate came, I have been seeing a lot less phone spam. I don't know if that's typical but it was quite noticeable for me. What that tells me is that providers likely started clamping down on their shady customers well ahead of the mandate which says that regulatory fiat would have been sufficient too. But that hinges on whether my situation is typical though. Mike
