FCC chairman wants phone companies to block robocalls

att doesn't care actually, perhaps if it would be a pay for service they would block. Gotten my 3rd or 4th robo from credit card services. Supposedly based in Florida, callers are from Pakistan. I chatted with 1 for awhile one call. I always prank them - to waste their time.

I keep getting robo calls from scammers and possible legit businesses. However, when I ask them to stop calling me, I'm ignored. National Dealer Protection of W Palm beach is the latest ex After telling them to stop they keep calling. wish there was a nat'l list of these types.

GOOD. they are harassing, intrusive and need to be illegal.

Sure they will.

So far, tRumps FCC and that sellout weasel AjitPaiFCC was all about screwing Americans over. Hmmm... Something must be up

ATT ‘s ‘Call Protect’ app is weeding out about 90% of the Robocalls I receive.

I receive robo calls daily from the Policemen' Association asking for donations. This has been going on for years. I do not donate over the phone. It's hard to verify someone over the phone. I wish they would quit calling.

Yes!!!

Nothing compared to being bombarded with endless goofy trump tweets. FCC - stop trump from annoying us.

About time.

Yes please!

BETWEEN ROBO CALLS AND DEMOCRATS MESSAGING FOR MONEY NOT SURE WHICH 1 IS WORSE

On smartphones, you can: 1. Assign special ringtone to all contacts. 2. Unique ringtone for default callers. 3. Review 'missed' calls 😎😉🤓👍

5 years late

Does that include Trump, RNC, Trump super PAC fake phone calls? Or will Trump tweet saying there is discrimination against racists, bigots, neo-Nazi supporters of Trump?

About time !

163 million robocalls a day, and I only get half of them.

morgfair Alabama will soon pass a law requiring that you have to answer and listen.

morgfair Why does the FCC allow them to hide their phone numbers to evade the Do Not Call list? Every day I get calls from numbers that 'don't exist' because the FCC allows these companies to hide their numbers. Have they been bribed ?

Yes please, they are multiplying daily

My mom only has a house phone and keeps getting the credit card scam call

mine flags them as scam likely but lets them through anyway! WTF is that S

starfirst I am going to have to give up listening to the radio altogether too! So sick of the BS!

But then my phone would only ring once a week.

Hello! How are you? This is Angela calling...(click)

Good!

I have over 200 blocked robocall numbers. Getting ridiculous

Solutioneer72 I had seven today.
