STIR/SHAKEN statistics from April 2026

April 2026 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.

Signed robocalls by attestation level

Robocalls down slightly across all attestation levels

Figure 1. Signed Robocalls by Attestation Last 6 Months

Figure 1 shows signed robocalls by attestation level over the past six months. Overall, the statistics were down slightly from March across all attestation levels. Robocalls among all calls were down 1.6%. Robocalls signed with A-level attestation were down 0.1%. Robocalls among calls signed with B attestation were down 0.5%. Robocalls among calls signed with C attestation were down 0.2%.

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 increased

Figure 2. Monthly Number of OSPs Sending Signed Calls

Figure 2 shows that the number of Originating Service Providers (OSPs) observed signing calls in April was up 1.9% from the previous month. However, this statistic has not yet recovered from the sharp drop in March.

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 in April was up 1.1% from the previous month.

STIR/SHAKEN coverage

Signed calls at termination down slightly

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 was down 0.4% in April, to 42.3%.

We see continued trends with the number of SHAKEN-authorized providers increasing while the percentage of signed calls received at termination drops. 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.

Calls signed with C-level attestation dropped, while A- and B-levels remained steady

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

Figure 5 shows the percentage of calls signed by attestation level. The percentage of calls signed with full A-level attestation was 27.6% in April, down 0.1% from March. The percentage of calls signed with B-level attestation was 3.7%, up 0.2% from March. The percentage of calls signed with C-level attestation was 6.5%, down 1.0% from March.

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 down

Figure 6. Robocall Percentage by Attestation—Prolific Robocall Signers by Robocall %

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

In April, the robocall percentage among prolific robocall signers was down 11.4% across all attestation levels. The robocall percentage with A-level attestation was down 4.1%. The robocall percentage with B-level attestation was up 0.5%. The percentage of robocalls with C-level attestation was up 3.5%.

Prolific robocall signers authenticate most calls with A-level attestation

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. In April, 63.8% of the calls authenticated by prolific robocall signers had an A-level attestation. 30.1% had a B-level attestation. 6.1% had a C-level attestation. This is a marked change from previous months, when most calls signed by prolific robocall signers had an A-level attestation.

Recap

• Robocalls were down slightly from March.
• STIR/SHAKEN participation improved, with 1.9% more SHAKEN signers and 1.1% more authorized providers.
• STIR/SHAKEN coverage dropped 0.4%, to 42.3%.
• Robocalls authenticated by prolific robocall signers dropped 11.4%. They signed most calls with A-level attestation, but the percentage of B-level and C-level attestations increased from previous months.
