Top Carriers Maintained Signed Traffic Success, But Bad Actors Exploiting Non-IP Networks of Smaller Carriers

Top US telecom providers have been successfully protecting their subscribers from unwanted robocalls in the beginning of 2025, with 84% of all call traffic signed and verified. In contrast, non-top carriers still operating on legacy networks remain vulnerable to bad actors, with only 21% of calls signed. Read the report to learn more about:

  • Invalid attestation challenges facing tier-1 carriers, despite high volumes of signed call traffic, highlighting the need for stronger call authentication
  • The response from the FCC as smaller carriers struggle to migrate IP networks
  • An increase in the number of Americans taking initiative to report robocall activity
  • Common robocall scams reported in the first half of the year, including the widespread IRS back taxes scam
