Every carrier already knows who the spammers/scammers are based on activity...normal phones do not redial within 2 seconds of an ended call. The carriers are complicit in the scam and they need to be held to account with fines for allowing it.

To be honest with ya. This is already the case everywhere world wide almost everywhere except America and even then I think I should just bite the bullet anyway just to have Wifi calling and emergency contact. Like it never stopped scammers from using these phone numbers anyway worldwide as a whole. Honestly you do you government considering. Don't mind the fact that phone numbers everywhere you go to even access a menu is bad enough and a good analytic point.
