The report found that all major categories of robocalls fell during the month there was a 3% drop in notifications, an 11% reduction in payment reminders, and a 4% decrease in unwanted telemarketing and scam calls."

February 2026 received 3.8 billion robocalls, representing a decline from both the previous month and year-over-year comparison. While the monthly total decreased 1.3% from January and 14% from February 2025, daily robocall volume actually increased to 136.8 million per day and 1,583 per second, up 9% from January. This increase reflects the calendar difference, as February has 28 days versus January's 31. All major robocall categories declined, including notifications (3%), payment reminders (11%), and unwanted telemarketing and scams (4%). Unsolicited pre-approved loan offers remained the most prevalent robocall type, with campaigns like Crestwood Loan Advisors delivering uniform messages across thousands of numbers. February marked the sixth consecutive month averaging under four billion robocalls, a milestone not achieved since May 2022.
