ONE YEAR LATER, STIR/SHAKEN HAS YET TO TAKE FLIGHT, ACCORDING TO ROBOKILLER INSIGHTS

Published: 2022-07-12 23:05:00 ET

NEW YORK, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- STIR/SHAKEN is yet to make a universal impact on spam calls, according to data insights from RoboKiller, the app that eliminates 99% of spam calls and text messages. The FCC rolled out STIR/SHAKEN in June 2021 to curb spam calls that utilize caller ID spoofing. However, these calls have remained steady in the 12 months since the deadline for large carriers to adopt the framework. During that same timeframe, spam text messages took off and now consistently outpace spam calls.

Meanwhile, spam calls and text messages continue to increase, despite more carriers implementing STIR/SHAKEN. In June, Americans received 7.2 billion spam calls and 12 billion spam text messages — a combined 13% month-over-month increase.
