"It's disappointing to see the spike in robocalls in March, after six consecutive months averaging less than 4 billion robocalls," YouMail CEO Alex Quilici said in a prepared statement about the report.
In January 2026, the report found there were an average of 125.2 million robocalls per day and 1,449 robocalls per second, down from 132.6 million robocalls per day and 1,535 robocalls per second in December 2025. All categories contributed to the month's large drop in robocalls, according to the YouMail report. There was an 11% drop in payment reminders and a 3% drop in notifications - two categories in which robocalls are often welcome - and a 4% decrease in scam and unwanted telemarketing calls.
Robocalls to U.S. consumers fell 4% between July and August, and 6.1% over the 12 months ending in August, according to YouMail's latest Robocall Index report. For the month, robocall activity averaged 133.9 million robocalls per day and 1,550 robocalls per second, down 4% from July's average of 144 million robocalls per day and 1,666 robocalls per second.
