AT&T robocalls will be automatically blocked, the carrier announced. New customers have the service now, and existing customers will have it «in the coming months.»
AT&T’s Call Protect service does three things: it detects and blocks fraudulent calls entirely, flags telemarketers and spam calls as “Suspected Spam” when the phone rings, and allows you to maintain a personal block list to specifically block individual numbers.
It’s about damn time that carriers start using robocall-blocking technology. And I mean automatically; they all have their various blocking apps.

I think so. Most carriers are implementing T-Mobile’s SHAKEN/STIR technology. A part of that is rating calls as «authentic, dubious or fraudulent.»
Thanks
Is there is way for them to pass legitimate robocalls, say from a school or some such place?
