You may be the perfect person to explain to a completely technically incompetent nincompoop like myself why it isn’t possible for the carriers to simply eliminate robocalls which use spoofed numbers? Is it not possible to verify that a call originates with the actual number holder before allowing it to go through?
I recently changed a number that I had had from the days of the bag phone (remember those?) to try to reduce robocalls. It was less than 30 minutes before I had the first robocall to the new number, so obviously it is possible to just spoof calls to every possible combination of numbers until one goes through. I have never ever responded to a robocall, and yet I still receive a couple a day. And now robotexts as well.
