FCC closes a robocaller's loophole

For those that don’t know, the US caller id system is in the process of a forced upgrade intended to move from a legacy system that made spoofing numbers easy, to something that will supposedly prevent that.

I have noticed that my spam voicemails these days are always for car warranty. Maybe that is a sign of progress that the other scams are finding it harder to contact me?

At any rate, until this gets resolved I am keeping my cell area code from where I used to live. Makes it trivial to identify spam calls since anyone from that area code that I want to talk to is in my contacts.
