FCC great work including what results? Spam via SMS and calls hasn’t been conquered at all and it’s 18 years since the “donotcall” registry went live.

- zamalek 2y agoI don't get robocalls anymore.
- bagels 2y agoI do, every day.
- zeven7 2y agoThen you are unique
- Wistar 2y agoAt least two a day on landline, starting right at 8am, and at least five or six a day on my cell.
- zamalek 2y agoHave any of you reported the calls [1]? They can't do anything about something they know nothing about, and they have taken extremely aggressive action in the past [2].

- criddell 2y agoHow are you supposed to know if they are robocalls? I stopped answering my phone, but when I used to, it was always a person with a heavy accent trying to sell something.
- zamalek 2y ago> person with a heavy accent Nice... Either way, a human is not a robot. Ignoring the do not call list would be up to the FTC to police. https://www.donotcall.gov/report.html https://www.donotcall.gov/report.html A personal trick of mine was to answer those calls, ask them to hold, and leave them waiting indefinitely. I started a leaderboard with my friends back in the day, and the winner was ~40min.
- coding123 2y agoIt was supposed to be automatic! Shaker and stirred or whatever.
- zamalek 2y agoI'm not sure how anyone could expect a telecom protocol to automatically determine if a call is a robocall. Those merely prevent spoofing and allow the FCC to track town offenders.
- jjtheblunt 2y agoyeah, and it doesn't help anything in 18 years of experience.
