Broader implementation of the STIR/SHAKEN call authentication framework, coupled with enforcement efforts, have put a dent in robocall volumes compared to last year, according to a new report by TNS.
It’s a small dent, to the tune of an 8% drop in robocall volume in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021. Any improvements in unwanted spam and scam calls is a good thing—but the overall volumes are still astronomical. That 8% drop means going from 37.9 billion robocalls to 34.9 billion.
