Even better, U.S. legislation is coming at a time when service providers have already started to take more aggressive steps to prevent robocalls from getting through to end users.
Neither service providers nor legislation will be able to prevent these calls altogether.
In the U.S., many service providers offer "Premium caller ID" services.
In the UK, it is possible to register with Telephone Preferences Service, which is a free opt-out service to reduce scam calls.
In addition to this, several providers also offer premium caller ID services, like in the U.S. Apple and Android operating systems can automatically reject junk calls, as well as offer third-party applications and extensions to extend this functionality.
