i am working on an application that sends calls straight to voicemail. there's "an api" for that in germany, meaning you put special codes between area code and number.

it's ok.

but the issue is randomly calling ppl. not the call itself. at least in germany random/cold calls are forbidden so you can only call people who agreed to it prior.

Opt-in, but nobody cares. They will just use your number anyway and, when confronted, claim that you "must have opted in at some point". They will then promise to remove your number from their list and promptly call you again a few days later.
