I recommended that the FCC, By law, require all companies that provide Phone and Cell phone services be made to provide an optional "Call confirm" feature at no charge or at least or a fair minimal one time charge to cover the expenses to create this feature. If a call is made to a number with this active, the caller has to confirm the call before it will ring the dialed number. Just like a "Captcha" does for a website. Details are included in the attached Word file "Caller Verification Prompting"

Make them provide options so a customer can modify the pass code so that they cannot predict the action needed to pass the call confirmation prompt. That way the robocaller users cannot modify the software to defeat it.
Since voice recognition software could understand the prompts, make it require a response to simple questions and have multiple options for the consumer to select. The attached Word document offers examples. Have enough options that the robot dialer cannot afford to re-write and predict a way to trick all of the confirm codes. As are modified, they will lose buyers for the dialing servers outside the USA. Political, Charities and Emergency services Bypass codes are address and how to manage them.
