#2I've just stopped answering my phone altogether. If something is important enough the person calling should leave a voicemail.

You aren't getting the robot voicemails yet? I mean sure I can ignore those too - but it's that much more annoying since I now have to filter through my voicemails to see if anyone left a message that actually matters.
I'd guess about 1/3 of robocallers are leaving me voicemails now. I also very recently started getting obvious phishing attempts via SMS.

For some reason that happens very rarely for me so its not that big of a chore to listen to all the voicemails I receive.

About 1/2 of all my voicemails are in Mandarin.

I wish I could afford to do that. I've got important calls coming in of which I don't always know the number. If I miss the call, it can be a headache trying to get the process going again.

Yep.

#8I find it amazing to see STIR/SHAKEN[1] mentioned in an act of congress. Rarely does congress mandate specific technology, usually it just grants authority to make rules to agencies or imposes some kind of duty. I wonder why this law goes this route.

Me too. Although you realize that we will now occasionally miss an important call. In fact this just happened — my credit card fraud team was legitimately trying to get a hold of me and I ignored it. This made my travel this week painful with a hold on my credit card.
This is the real loss... missing calls I would have wanted or needed to answer.

I think it is because the current FCC is proving itself to be too incompetent to solve the problem of robocalls among other things.
