S/S is working as advertised; it's how the FCC can identify robocall carriers and how telecoms can block their traffic. S/S doesn't have a magic "caller is a robot" bit that would allow for automatic blocking.

My phone can identify spam callers and has been doing so for nearly a year now. Why can't the telco's block them more quickly? I think we all know the answer to this. They aren't going to unless the FCC makes them.

The telcos are killing their own product. I'm using my phone less and less. Most days, it sits in do not disturb mode because 99% of the time, the call isn't relevant.
