I seem to recall reading that Apple, Google, Samsung, etc. put into place last month proprietary programs meant to identify robocallers and block them before you ever get the call. It may be that this is why the number of calls has decreased. I’m not certain about this, but I read in Consumer Reports a couple months ago that this was coming soon. There are exceptions, alas, such as people who have previously answered calls from a company or showed some interest in a product.
