(NEXSTAR) – Your phone ringing a little extra lately? You're not alone. Americans got nearly 5 billion robocalls last month according to tracking by YouMail, a call screening and blocking service that tracks call volume.

In the first five months of the year, robocalls have gone up 11% when compared to the same period in 2024, the company's latest analysis found. Last month averaged more than 1,800 robocalls per second.

The people most likely to have their phones ringing endlessly these days live outside the country's biggest cities, the report found.
