popularity, age, etc.), the point is that international robocalls are still continuing.</span><span style="color:#111111"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#111111">I am wondering about the efforts by the US government to mitigate robocalls, and whether all the implemented traceback methods are relevant only for US-originated calls, or whether
they will work also for international calls. Basically, I wonder whether it’s possible to trace back an international call, and how much this trace back will help. (Could they originate a call without assistance from a US-based company?)</span><span style="color:#111111"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#111111">I offered him a simple solution to place an IVR on incoming calls, so at least he could filter out the robots. Maybe there are other practical solutions. </span><span style="color:#111111"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
