STIR/SHAKEN statistics from July 2025

July 2025 STIR/SHAKEN and robocall statistics are now available. The data show the latest trends in robocalls, STIR/SHAKEN participation, and attestation level usage. Let’s have a look.

We’ve been publishing monthly STIR/SHAKEN statistics since April 2021. These numbers are gathered from well over a hundred voice service providers using our STIR/SHAKEN and robocall prevention solutions. The data describe calls they received from 1,289 other voice service providers that originated calls, including some robocalls, signed with STIR/SHAKEN.

Signed robocalls by attestation level

Robocalls down slightly

Figure 1 shows signed robocalls by attestation level over the past six months. The statistics were down slightly from June. Robocalls among all calls were down 0.2% from June. Robocalls signed with A-level attestation were up 0.3%. Robocalls among calls signed with B attestation were down 2.6%, while robocalls among calls signed with C attestation were down 3.4%.

STIR/SHAKEN participation and coverage

We measure STIR/SHAKEN participation changes in two ways:

  1. The number of Originating Service Providers (OSPs) signing calls received by our customers,
  2. Service providers authorized to do SHAKEN by the STI Policy Administrator (STI-PA),

The number of SHAKEN signers up

Figure 2. Monthly Number of OSPs Sending Signed Calls

Figure 2 shows that the number of Originating Service Providers (OSPs) observed signing calls in July was up 8.8% from June.


The number of SHAKEN-authorized providers increased

Figure 3. STIR/SHAKEN Authorized Providers by Month

Figure 3 shows that the number of SHAKEN-authorized providers was up 5.3% in July, reaching an all-time high of 1,691.

The increase in SHAKEN-authorized providers and signers observed authenticating calls is a result of the FCC order that providers with a SHAKEN obligation must either sign their calls or have their calls signed for them by a signing service using their own SHAKEN certificate and determination of attestation level.

Signed calls at termination down again

Figure 4. The Percentage of Signed Calls at Termination Last 6 Months

Figure 4 shows the percentage of signed calls at termination for the past six months. This dropped 2.2% in July, to 38.2%. This statistic has been on a downward trend since October 2024, when it peaked at 49.3%. This is an 11.1% drop over the past 10 months. Where’s the bottom?

We believe that this statistic reflects calls being routed over non-IP segments in the call path, where the SHAKEN call authentication information is lost.


Signed calls level across attestation levels

Figure 5. Percentage of Calls with SHAKEN Attestation Levels Last 6 Months

Figure 5 shows the percentage of calls signed by attestation level. Calls signed with full A-level attestation were 26.6% in July, down 0.8% from June. Calls signed with B-level attestation were 3.2%, unchanged from June. Calls signed with C-level attestation were 6.1%, down 1.1% from June.

We believe that these numbers reflect the overall drop in call authentication information surviving transit over non-IP call segments. Interestingly, the percentage of calls signed with A-level attestation peaked in September 2024 at 32.3%. The percentage of calls arriving at termination with an A-level attestation in June, 26.6%, is a 5.6% drop from the peak last September. Neither the full attestation nor the identity of the authentication provider is available to the terminating provider for analyzing these calls.

Patterns among prolific robocall signers

Here are robocall and attestation statistics for the top 10 SHAKEN-authorized providers ranked by the percentages of signed calls identified as robocalls.

Robocalls from prolific robocall signers increased

Robocalls among calls with A-level attestation are increasing

Figure 6 shows robocalls authenticated by the top 10 robocall signers ranked by robocall percentage over the past six months.

In July, the robocall percentage among prolific robocall signers was up 3.2% across all attestation levels. Robocalls with A-level attestation were down 1.1%. Robocalls with B-level attestation were down 17.5%. Robocalls with C-level attestation decreased 7.4%.

Prolific robocall signers’ attestation levels

Robocalls among calls with A-level attestation are increasing

Figure 7. Call Percentage by Attestation—Prolific Robocall Signers

Figure 7 shows the percentages of calls signed by the top 10 robocall signers by authentication level. They continue to sign their calls mostly with A-level attestation. In July, 94.9% of the calls authenticated by prolific robocall signers had an A-level attestation.

We encourage terminating service providers and call analytics providers to incorporate SHAKEN signer reputation into their call analytics. We provided examples in a blog post, How to monitor SHAKEN signer reputation.

Recap

  • Robocalls were down slightly from June.
  • STIR/SHAKEN participation continues a strong upward trend.
  • STIR/SHAKEN coverage continues a steady decline since October 2024. In July, only 38.2% of calls arrive at termination with call authentication information intact. When is this decline going to bottom out?
  • Prolific robocall signers continue to authenticate most calls with A-level attestation.
