A bunch of carriers like tmobile and att can filter spam at their network. I was getting 5+ a day so I'm testing tmobiles name ID. But it's an extra $4/month when it should be included.

Most people just use hiya and all of the apps that community source the blocking. Tbh my experience is probably better with those.

It's part of being completely incompetent at their job then charging people for the "convenience"

It's the same BS with credit scores/credit freeze

This appears to be the new-style of "American innovation". You junk something up, break it, or otherwise make things worse and then take your cut out of restoring something resembling the status quo. Living in a gangster's paradise...
