Tech-powered war on robocalls pledged by 12 U.S. telephone carriers and 51 attorneys general

I’ve considered killing my landline, but it’s nice to have as a backup in case my cell phone breaks down or runs out of minutes (overcharges are a pain.) I’d say the majority of calls I get on the landline are robocalls or spammers, despite the number being registered on the Do Not Call list for years.

My cell phone gets a few robocalls, but I block those numbers. I’ve reported several scammers to the Federal Trade Commission, but I’m not sure how much it accomplishes.
