Have you experienced a recent dramatic increase in robocalls in the last 48 hours or so?
In the last two days I’ve received 10 robo calls… I know they are robo calls because they are all from my area code (which nobody I talk to uses) and all different numbers. No voice mail, no texts.
This is fairly rare, I usually get one or two a month, but not 10 in 48 hours.
Not in a huge inconvenience, none of them get past Google voice screening, I just see the missed call notifications constantly and it’s annoying.

I applied for a mortgage a few weeks ago, and ever since I’ve been getting literally 40+ spam calls a day. It’s insane. They all get blocked, so it’s not anything I really have to deal with, but my missed calls list is just a sea of red “likely spam” callers.
I got a phone number from rural Montana. As the area code. So I know if anything comes from that area code it’s 100% spam. It’s made ignoring calls very easy.
But yeah it’s super annoying to have the missed call log filled with spam calls. Honestly phone numbers are dying. I don’t think we need them anymore
