Seems simple to me.

Am I correct most people get robo calls come from their own area code?

I'm changing my next phone's area code to 406 (Montana), if you live in Montana, I will not answer your phone, sorry. biggrin


I don't know if there is any way they can stop it. Most of the annoying calls that don't follow the rules or spoof legitimate numbers use VOIP phone lines and local phone numbers don't know what the numbers are if it's outside their system and the companies that run these VOIP lines don't care because they'll claim they're not a phone company just like uber claims they aren't a taxi service to break those rules or they're run out of countries that don't care what any legislations are. Phone companies can't block VOIP service because then they'll get blamed for causing a monopoly again or companies will sue them for not allowing real users to make calls from their services.
