This won't do shit to stop robocalls. These are all coming across virtual systems from India, China, wherever.

Phone companies know where calls originate because they have to bill for termination endpoints. Allow me to block any call not from the United States and 99% of this will stop.

This is horseshit. The phone companies can't figure out who is making the calls?

Of course they do, someone has to get billed when a call is made. The only problem these days is some VOIP provider in the USA may sell service to India, and after the VOIP carrier it's sometimes hard to tell where the call comes from. They're not coming from cell phones, this is just control overreach.

I deal with that by blocking everything.
