Whenever I read posts like this, I wonder his I'm barely affected by robocalls. There's like one a month, usually from outside the country.

Is that a Europe thing? And if so, are we just a bad "market" or is there some form of legality (or enforcement) involved?

In the U.S., robocalls and unsolicited calls still prevail (to some degree) because of a outdated telephone caller ID system. It's replacement, STIR-SHAKEN, has yet to be done, much less widely accepted (all the phone brands and networks). Look how long it took us just to get RCS texting.

In the US it depends on how good the call blocking is on your service.
