How to stop spam calls in Illinois

Illinois has 13 area codes. Spam callers spoof them so the call looks local. Blocking numbers one at a time never ends, because they rotate daily.

Your number gets on their lists from people-search sites that publish it next to your name and address. Get it off those sites and you drop off the lists built from them.

Area codes: 217 Springfield · 224 Elgin · 309 Peoria · 312 Chicago · 331 Aurora · 618 Belleville · 630 Aurora · 708 Cicero · 773 Chicago · 779 Rockford · 815 Rockford · 847 Elgin · 872 Chicago
