The number of fraudulent calls in Telia's network dropped by nearly 33 percent in the first half of 2026. During this period, the company blocked approximately 21 million suspected scam calls, which is ten million fewer than the same period last year, Telia stated in a press release.
"We are seeing a clear reduction in the number of fraud calls in our network, which is a positive sign. It indicates that our protective measures, alongside the industry's joint efforts, are making this type of crime more difficult and less profitable," said Amanda Landqvist, head of fraud management at Telia.
