I believe both Android and iOS support SHAKEN/STIR, as long as your carrier supports it. On my phone, at least, I see Caller IDs tagged with "likely spam" if a check fails.

#44“It may not be a national security concern yet, but the reputation (of a country) is involved, and we don’t want India to suffer on that count,” Daud told the publication. What about the victims?
This translate to "we even conceive going into war because of this".
> but the reputation (of a country) is involved
And this translated to "and economic sanctions are very likely".
So, don't think this is a bland statement.

#45Canadian public broadcaster, CBC, reported this as "financial terrorism" back in 2019. Now it seems the references have been scrubbed out. $10B drained from old and financial vulnerable is absolutely ridiculous and should be called financial terrorism.

#48It's gotten bad enough that if someone with an Indian accent is calling me and it sounds like it's from a call center, I hang up immediately.
If you answer and say hello and there's an extra second just hang up. They'll call back if it is important.

I solely answer phone calls from anyone other than friends and family, work, and scheduled appointments.
