Large phone companies have struck an agreement to enact technology to block robocalls before they reach people

AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and 10 other large phone companies have struck an agreement with 51 attorneys general to enact technology to block robocalls before they reach people.

Under the nonbinding deal, the companies will launch the call-blocking technology at no cost to consumers and will make other anti-robocall devices and apps available free of charge to subscribers. In July, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile US Inc. said they were making progress toward installing technology to authenticate calls so customers would know if a call was coming from the person supposedly making it. The FCC has demanded the technology be in place by the end of the year.
