Still getting robocalls? So is everyone else as spam hits 6-year high despite law to crack down on companies, study shows

Spam robocalls are on the rise, hitting a six-year high even after lawmakers promised to crack down on phone companies that allow the pesky, unsolicited contact.

Across the country, spam robocalls have hit the highest levels since 2019, averaging about 2.56 billion a month for 2025 — up from 2.14 billion a month in 2024, according to a new report by consumer watchdog, U.S. PIRG Education Fund.
