STIR/SHAKEN statistics from October 2026

October 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 remain level across most 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 in October were mostly level with September across all attestation levels. Robocalls among all calls were 4.0%, up from 3.4% in September. Robocalls among calls signed with A-level attestation were 1.8%, up from 1.6% in September. Robocalls among calls signed with B attestation were 4.6%, the same as September. Robocalls among calls signed with C attestation were 8.9%, up from 7.8% in September.

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 October was up a healthy 4.6% from the previous month.

The number of SHAKEN-authorized providers increased slightly

Figure 3 shows that the number of SHAKEN-authorized providers in October was up 1.8% from the previous month.

STIR/SHAKEN coverage

Signed calls at termination dropped 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 0.6% in October, to 53.9%. This statistic has been hovering around 54% for four months.

Attestation levels used remain consistent

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 31.9% in October, down 0.9% from the previous month. The percentage of calls signed with B-level attestation was 5.7%, up 0.2% from September. The percentage of calls signed with C-level attestation was 9.8%, up 0.5% from the previous month.

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 sharply for B- and C-level attestations

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 October, the robocall percentage among prolific robocall signers was up 2.4% from September. The robocall percentage with A-level attestation was down 1.7%. The percentage of robocalls among calls signed with a B-level attestation was up 10.7%. The robocall percentage among calls signed with a C-level attestation was up 15.6%.

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 October, 74% of the calls authenticated by the top 10 prolific robocall signers had an A-level attestation. 7% of their calls had a B-level attestation and 19% had a C-level attestation.

It's interesting that prolific robocall signers, who had been signing most of their calls with A-level attestation, have shifted some of their robocalls to B-level attestation.

Recap

• Robocall percentages were mostly level with September, with a slight uptick among calls with a C-level attestation.
• STIR/SHAKEN participation improved slightly. The number of SHAKEN signers was up 4.6%, and the number of authorized providers increased 1.8%.
• However, STIR/SHAKEN coverage has remained level at around 54% for the fourth month in a row.
• Robocalls authenticated by prolific robocall signers increased at B- and C-level attestations. They've shifted some of their robocalls from A- to B-level attestation.
