    Because there are legitimate reasons for some robo calls. Appointment reminders and confirmations, school weather closure announcements, two-factor login verification, etc.

      It would be a good trade. Lose the few semi-useful legitimate ones to get rid of the overwhelming majority which are malicious scammers and conservative dickbags.

      No there isn’t.

      Text if school is cancelled. Throw 2fa out the window. Phone numbers are not identity. Text appointment reminders. Literally nothing needs a robo voice that isn’t better as text.

              My doctor can afford to call or text or have a secretary do so.

                In 2024, have a human call for reminders for every client every single day for every appointment… yeah right. Enjoy that while it lasts.

                  If you don’t have the time to call all of your patients, you don’t have the time to provide medical care to them.

                    You’ll actually have a lot of time to provide medical care to your patients when you don’t have to waste all that time calling them for no reason when that can be easily automated.
