> The FCC already requires similar blocking of voice calls from these types of numbers.

In other words, it won't change anything. I still get just as many scam voice calls as I ever have.

I don't know. When the phone law went into affect a couple months ago, nothing changed. We were getting about 5 junk calls per day. But suddenly in the last 2 weeks, we're down to only a couple per week. Not sure if there's any correlation or if it's just a coincidence.

It takes a while for carriers to come into compliance. It's relative new orders.
