Do robo telemarketing callers accidentally call a paid number?

Like a 900 number or other pay per minute number?

No, those numbers are programmed out of the algorithm.

They also don’t call business numbers (unless they are scamming businesses.)

@zenvelo How about in the past? Years ago before the use of the algorithm? Some paid per minute calls are not all 1–900— numbers. Can I make my cell phone a paid number to collect from robo calls?

Don’t think you can make your number a paid number. That’s reserved for certain types of business/companies

@RedDeerGuy1 “Years ago” they didn’t have robo calls. And they didn’t have 1–900 numbers either.

If they stay away from 800 or 900 numbers, it is my understanding that they will never make a paid phone call.
