Overview

• Agcom formally approved Regulation n. 106/25/CONS on May 19, 2025, replacing the 2016 rules to curb fraudulent and spam calls.
• The regulation introduces technical filters and enforces compliance with ITU numbering standards to block spoofed calls from foreign operators.
• Implementation will occur in two phases: fixed-line call blocking within three months and mobile call blocking within six months.
• Italian mobile operators must deploy secure APIs for real-time caller ID verification, with responses required within two seconds.
• The measures aim to protect consumers from aggressive telemarketing, fraud, and spoofing tactics that impersonate trusted entities like banks.
