U.S. Consumers Received Just Over 4.25 Billion Robocalls in June, According to YouMail Robocall Index

2026 Volume Down Roughly 13% Year Over Year

IRVINE, Calif., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — U.S. consumers received just over 4.25 billion robocalls in June 2026, according to the Robocall Index from YouMail, the robocall protection app that tracks U.S. robocalling behavior. This volume increased approximately 3.4% from May, but declined 4.6% compared to June 2025.  

June averaged 141.8 million robocalls/day and 1,642 robocalls/second, compared to May’s 132.8 million robocalls/day and 1,537 robocalls/second.

This was the highest monthly robocall volume since July 2025. Despite that, over the past 12 months, total robocalls reached 48.7 billion, continuing the lowest 12-month total recorded since November 2022.

“Monthly robocall volumes have been slowly creeping upward, and we’re now roughly 15% above the lowest levels we saw last October,” said YouMail CEO Alex Quilici. “While overall robocall activity remains relatively low compared to historical levels, consumers must continue to stay vigilant and protect themselves with robocall-blocking apps like YouMail.”

These latest figures are provided by YouMail, a totally free app that protects consumers from unwanted or dangerous calls, texts, and voicemails. The figures are based on extrapolated data from robocall traffic targeting YouMail’s active user base.

June 2026’s Most Annoying Robocalls

June’s most problematic robocall campaigns once again centered around pre-approved debt consolidation loans. One particularly large campaign placed calls using the name “Silver Oak Loans.” The campaign delivered substantially similar messages from tens of thousands of phone numbers,  like this one

This is Brittany with Silver Oak Loans. I’m reaching out because based on your credit profile, it looks like you’ve been pre-approved for a debt consolidation loan. This type of loan can be used to pay off credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, collection accounts, or any other outstanding balances you may have, and roll everything into one single monthly payment at a lower interest rate. We’d love to go over the details and your options with you. If you’d like to speak with a representative, press 3 now, or if you prefer not to receive updates, press 7.

This robocall campaign generated well over 30 million calls in June. Consumers report these calls as spam, saying they get these calls over and over, despite never applying for a loan and never providing consent to be contacted. At best this is illegal telemarketing at scale; at worst this behavior is indicative of a scam.

Consumers who receive these calls should report them to sites like directory.youmail.com or spamreporters.com. Reporting helps reduce harm to others by ensuring these numbers can be immediately blocked not only by the YouMail app, but across a variety of carriers. It also helps aggregate valuable data that can be shared with regulators and law enforcement to support investigative efforts.  

The Source of This Data

These data points are provided by YouMail, a free call protection app for mobile phones. YouMail won the American Business Awards’ Gold Stevie Award for Technical Innovation of the Year, and the YouMail app was named the nation’s best robocall-blocking solution in a competition organized by Geoffrey Fowler formerly of the Washington Post.

YouMail blocks unwanted robocallers by making sure the user’s phone doesn’t ring, and then plays an out-of-service message that leads them to think they dialed an invalid number. YouMail identifies problematic numbers and robocalls using a combination of its recently patented audio fingerprinting technology, call patterns, and consumer feedback.

YouMail provides the YouMail Robocall Index to estimate robocall volume across the country and for specific area codes every month. This estimate is formed by extrapolating from the behavior of the billions of calls YouMail has handled for its users, and these statistics are regularly cited by the FCC as a definitive source for national data trends.
