Thursday's vote by the Federal Communications Commission could make call-blocking widespread and help consumers dodge annoying robocalls.
The agency expects phone companies to offer these tools for free. But it doesn't require them to do so. Consumers can also"opt out" and ask their company not to block anything. As the robocall problem has exploded, Congress is taking steps, too. A bill passed by the Senate would require phone companies to do more, but it's not a cure-all. It still needs House approval, where Democrats in charge have their own bills that go further.3 a.m.The Federal Communications Commission plans to vote Thursday on giving phone companies permission to do more against them, but they aren't requiring it — yet.
A bill passed by the Senate would mandate next steps companies must take — but it's not a cure-all. And it needs House approval.The robocall problem has exploded because cheap software makes it easy to make mass calls. Phone scams have cost victims millions of dollars. Enforcement against illegal callers is negligible.
I'm not sure the technology is available.
Around 3 - 5.. I 🚫 them everyday yet they continue to call. I hope they are all blocked. I have been on a no call list for years, I've had to remind many solicitors.. Aggravated.
We spoke with all ghe US Carriers call centers. Hundrwds of agents all recommended the same App. Will DM the name but plugging products ... I'm fuzzy on that part. Please advise! It works and is free / premium features 4 pay
Phone compamy over consumers Another Trump FAIL
I’ve got a new record... 20 robocalls from 12:30 am to 7:00 last week. Couldn’t sleep at all trying to block those callers. I’ve got most of them but they keep changing the last digit
I get unwanted calls everyday. Mostly health ins. calls
Waiting for an important call and the batterydies? Simply toss your cell phone, notebook or computer under a desk lamp, dashboard of your car or out in the sun with no bending down to plug in a charge………
How would the Phone Company know the call was unwanted without my Permission first
