824 FTC complaints about 352 numbers in the last four weeks; leaving out the concentrated source below, complaints are down 18% on the four weeks before. FCC complaints about 352 numbers peaked in 2016 (605); the FTC's daily Do Not Call data has carried most of the volume since mid-2026.

Carriers operating in 352
NANPA has assigned 711 352 prefixes (NPA-NXX central-office codes) across 48 rate centers: 34% to wireless carriers, 65% to landline and VoIP operators; 76% are pooled blocks shared by several carriers. 9 prefixes were assigned in the last 12 months (newest 2026-09-10).

What to do about calls from 352 numbers
Before you call back
- Medical & prescriptions is the top named complaint here. Don't confirm your Medicare or insurance number to a caller. Medicare won't cold-call you to sell braces, test kits or plans. Read about Medicare scam calls.
- Look up the full number above. A missed call from 352 with no voicemail is usually a robocall; anyone who needs you will leave a message.
- If it looks like a neighbor's number, it may be spoofed. See calls from your own area code.
- Block repeat callers: iPhone, Android, or your carrier's free filter (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile).
Report it in Florida
- Unwanted sales calls and robocalls: donotcall.gov (FTC). Scams and fraud: ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
- Spoofing, texts and call-blocking problems: FCC consumer complaints.
- State complaints: Florida Attorney General.
- Florida is one of the states that maintains its own Do Not Call registry alongside the federal National Do Not Call Registry, so telemarketers calling Florida numbers are expected to check both lists. Registering on the federal list at donotcall.gov is free and never expires; the state list is administered separately and may have its own registration process and renewal period.
