egregoreThere has been a marked drop, but not stopped, and it predates this.

tigereye313Nope.

1967GoatI'm on month 2 of a new side-business, with a new to me phone number. I never used to get very many spam calls on my personal cell #, which I still have. It's now non-stop. I'm getting like 5-7 per day. Sigh.

rainmaker5505Nope, worse than ever. Some days I get 3, some its as many as 7. Really ramped up a couple months ago.

PASigMaybe for you but for me it's another heavy cycle of like 8, 9, plus a day.
Plus scammer texts
It's all so tiresome. Friggen scumbags

Pipe SmokerI haven’t noticed a significant reduction.
I have my iPhone configured such that calls from numbers that aren’t in my contacts are silently routed to voicemail.
Many of them are marked as “likely spam”. More recently, some are now marked as “charity” or “political”. I don’t know how Apple is able to recognize their nature.

gjgalliganLately I'm getting spam text messages.
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

83v45magnaI've noticed a massive reduction in spam, especially texts, since we stopped going out to eat in places where you leave your ph.# so they can page you when your table is ready.
I have had this happen before when I would leave my number again only to see a massive uptick starting a couple of days after and lasting for months. This cycle has happened at least three times. Now that is one hell of a coincidence.

BigCityI have gotten 2 today already before 1400

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

ridewvI still get 1-2 every day or so but my phone is set to only ring from those in my contact list, all others go to voicemail. So I'm never bothered with them and they never wait in order to leave a voicemail.
No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

BigSwedeHuh
I stopped getting them. The wife and I were getting the same one at the same time, calling about my pre-approval crap

c1steveI found that if I do not answer calls from suspicious numbers, the call frequency slows way down. As soon as I start answering most calls, the incoming spam calls goes up to 10/day. Right now spam calls are running about 2/day.
