Matt Ryder explains how Apple and U.S. carriers just killed double dialing, the spam tactic of calling the same number repeatedly to slip past filters. Apple will now ban devices that do it, and carriers are deploying detection tools with the TCPA, FCC, and FTC to block the behavior at the platform level.
So I have good news for everybody. Apple and the carriers in the US just released a patch on quick succession dialing. So it's official, double dialing and triple dialing is officially dead. It never really worked to begin with. It just flagged your numbers so bad they stopped working, so then you had to do more and more and more of it, thus creating a self-licking ice cream or a snake that eats its own asshole, right? Uh, and, um, yes, it was a stupid practice to begin with. However, now it is actually being patched properly, not just by spam flagging, but they are bringing in special reporting and analytics for quick succession dialing. Um, Apple, if you do it, uh, numerous times, is just going to straight up ban you from dialing Apple, right? Which is— it's not even a carrier level, it's at the fucking Apple level. And the carriers and the TCPA and FCC and FTC and FCC have all brought in the same. So good luck, motherfuckers, if you're not on dialer. Enjoy.
