Unfortunately, it's harder to stop the calls originating overseas. Asshat operations probably subcontracted explicitly for that purpose.

Yeah. I used to work for a telecom and handled call delivery problems between service providers. I hated that shit.

The companies basically charge a fraction of a penny per call that travels through their networks. They'll route the call through one of multiple available paths, most often the one that gets them the best profit.

And then we'd get a trouble ticket because a call from phone number A to phone number B happened at a precise time and had choppy audio. We would have to look at the call and its data and either provide an explanation or open a ticket with a downstream provider if the problem was suspected to be with them.

This steered me even more to the network side of things. We had some very capable voice engineers, but I hated that part of the job.
