STIR/SHAKEN statistics from January 2026

January 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 with B-level attestation down

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 mostly level with December. Robocalls among all calls were down 0.3%. Robocalls signed with A-level attestation were level. Robocalls among calls signed with B attestation were down 2.1%, partially reversing the sharp increase in October and November. 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 January was up 1.3% from the previous month.

The number of SHAKEN-authorized providers increased slightly

Figure 3. STIR/SHAKEN Authorized Providers by Month

Figure 3 shows that the number of SHAKEN-authorized providers in January was up 2.7% from the previous month.

STIR/SHAKEN coverage

Signed calls at termination up 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 up 0.5% in January, to 44.9%.

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.

Attestation mix stable

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 29.7% in January, down 0.4% from December. Calls signed with B-level attestation were 3.9%, up 0.6% from December. Calls signed with C-level attestation were 8.8%, up 0.5% from December.

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 January, the robocall percentage among prolific robocall signers was down 6.8% across all attestation levels. Robocalls with A-level attestation were down 6.4%. Robocalls with B-level attestation were down 4.3%. Robocalls with C-level attestation were down 11.0%. Welcome news!

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 January, 87.7% of the calls authenticated by prolific robocall signers had an A-level attestation, while only 8.5% had a B-level attestation. These percentages reversed a trend away from A-level attestations and toward B-level attestations that we observed in October and November.

Recap

• Robocalls were down slightly from December.
• STIR/SHAKEN participation improved slightly, with 1.3% more SHAKEN signers and 2.7% more authorized providers.
• STIR/SHAKEN coverage increased 0.5%, reaching 44.9%.
• Robocalls authenticated by prolific robocall signers dropped 6.8%. They are signing most calls with A-level attestation.
