Quotethe carrier has identified almost 300 million numbers associated with spam and robocalling so far

That is a huge figure, equivalent to 30 full area codes! (assuming numbers from 0000000 to 9999999 are assigned). An important percentage of all the US numbers. Unless they are counting international numbers on that list.

That's a good question. Maybe they check those numbers again from time to time?

How will this work, though, for customers whose numbers have been used by the scammers for caller ID spoofing?  I wonder if my number is one of the 300 million, since it has been used several times.  I guess I won't be able to call Verizon customers anymore.

These two treats will be offered for free starting in March, revealed Joe Russo, senior vice president of network operations for Verizon.
