PLEASE, PLEASE let our phone companies let us block these annoying, intrusive and rude calls. I am so sick of them, either it is someone who can't speak English trying to sell me something that I have no interest in or tryint to intimidate me into buying something or there is on one there. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING. I have better things to do with my time than waste it on these calls.

To Whom it May Concern at the FCC:

I'm a small business owner who feels that I am being constantly harassed by telephone solicitors and robocalls. I think it is the FCC's responsibility to develop a program to intercept these annoying and time-consuming calls or alternatively fine the callers as a deterrent. We'll be watching how our politicians vote on this issue.

I am tired of paying for phone service only to have it used to harass me. I think it should be illegal for anyone to ring my phone unless there will be a live person on the line when I pick up: Not a live person after several seconds' delay, and definitely not a recording (and that goes for political calls as well as commercial and charitable appeals). It should be illegal to ring a number several times then hang up after the call is answered (as ALL mass callers do, because their systems dial several numbers at once). All mass callers should have to clearly identify themselves at the start of the call and accurately indicate the nature of the call (sales, charitable solicitation, political pitch). Further, I think that "surveys" shouldn't be exempt, because too many of the calls I receive now are masquerading as surveys when they are actually just pitches, either for causes (political and charitable) or businesses: For example "We are calling you today to see if you are happy with your ____ service. Have you had service interruptions in the last 6 months?" (End of "survey", beginning of sales pitch.) Finally, the option to block any and all numbers should be a phone account holder's right, since the current no-call list is only partially effective, and all calls should be required to display the source number so that they can be blocked. Entities making mass calls who conceal the source phone number should be fined and shut down--it's not hard to identify such nuisances on modern phone systems.

My understanding is that the NSA has lots of information about phone calls: It should be used to enforce existing regulations regarding no-call requests, and to fine and/or block sources that violate regulations. No sense wasting all that money gathering phone call data, and it would be rare good publicity for the NSA.

I understand that implementation and enforcement of the standards I propose above would be difficult for government agencies (although I do think the standards should be set and enforced as well as possible)--that's why it is important that citizens be given tools to protect themselves from nuisance and predatory callers.

As for those boilerroom bandits who argue that limiting mass calling is an unfair restriction of their businesses: Give me their home phone numbers and/or mobile numbers and I'll set up a computer to illustrate the problem to them. kevin ryan fort collins, colorado

Since the government doesn't seem to be able to do anything about shady telemarketers or outright criminal scam callers, I have come to regard Nomorobo as an indispensable adjunct to my telephone service.

The robocalls still come. I don't think the system works.

Francis Hearn North Tonawanda, NY

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 16 of 5002

The Federal government (and many state governments) provide for a "Do-Not-Call" list, which telemarketers are REQUIRED to check BEFORE they call people, so they do not call people whose phone numbers are on the list. Likewise, current law FORBIDS robocalling to cell phones. Likewise, sending of junk faxes is prohibited.. Nonetheless, scofflaws (criminals!!) routinely IGNORE these laws and routinely make MILLIONS of such phone calls every week... and the governments do little or nothing to prosecute these crimes. If the government chooses (selectively!) to abdicate its responsibility to enforce the laws in effect, then consumers need to be allowed to do whatever they can to address the continuing problem.

Robocalls need to stop. They cleverly call from numbers that are hijacked or otherwise disguised so you can't block them. They constantly interrupt family time and hang up when you ask to be removed from their list.

I need more help blocking robocalls to my home number. Although Robocall has helped GREATLY it does not catch everything. Verizon does a VERY POOR job of helping the consumer in this area. Verizon FIOS only lets me list 10 numbers to block and UNKNOWN NUMBERS and PRIVATE calls still make it though. In this age of unbelievably technology, you would think they could give the consumer greater control of calls that make it through wouldn't you??

Every morning I get the same call from an UNKNOWN NUMBER, they call again in the evening. Not just once or twice a week, EVERY DAMN DAY. I suspect the phone company wants consumers to give up their land lines and just use cell phones, otherwise they would do something to help the consumer block these companies who show up as known robocallers. So I get UNKNOWN calls even though I have set up FIOS up to reject such calls so their attempts don't work. I still get the CLEANING SVC call, the PBA calling, and others that I have no idea who they are.

Please make the phone companies do more to help consumers and SUPPORT NOMOROBO. In fact, the phone companies should be forced to work with NOMOROBO if they cannot fix the problem themselves or give the consumer the tools to make more choices on who calls them.

Our household phone along with our mobile phones receive many robocalls. Our telephone service providers do not provide adequate call screening options. On our home phone Verizon only offers us to ability to block ten numbers that we must specify in advance. Our cellular provider, AT&T, only offers options that cost money.

Please help private citizens to expand their control over their own phones. Robo calls are a computerized invasion of our privacy, for which we never asked or gave permission. The "do not call" list has not worked. Unless you can come up with a way we can bill any unwanted callers for wasting our time, robo call blocking is our best defence yet. Over a third of our incoming calls are robo calls now, and it will get worse if not effectively stopped.

Robo calls have essentially taken away my ability to use with my telephone as I did for about 60 years. Nearly every call is now an automated sales pitch. The number & frequency of those calls exploded over the past few years until we had just stopped answering. 25 or 30 a day is not unusual. About 7 months ago I was ready to shut down the land line completely. Just then we saw an article about an application called NOMOROBO which could be used to block calls from most known generators of robo calls. The service turned out to be about 90% effective.

For years we've dutifully registered on the government "do not call" list. For a long time it worked well, but in the absence of enforcement it became useless in recent years. So, if for some reason services such as NOMOROBO are removed from the equation, I believe the government has an obligation to step in & prosecute those who make those marketing calls despite our clear statement that we don't want to receive them. If our government won't enforce the law I'll be furious if the only other recourse we've found is taken away.

My name is Martin Friedman. I live in Simi Valley California and I have been plagued by Robo calls for the past three years. I discovered a firm called nomorobo that promised to lower my blood pressure from repeated Robo callers and their arrogant and annoying practices. My wife and I were plagued with calls starting at 7 AM and continuing through the dinner hour. I had tried the governments website that registered me to be on the do not call list. That was absolutely worthless. Nomo Robo has been a godsend. We get one ring and The call is literally erased.The telephone companies should be enabled to provide this service to all of America and I believe that would eliminate the Robo caller problem.

I need to be able to stop robocalls my husband is sick and I find myself running to answer phone calls and its somebody selling something I don't have the time to keep answering these calls. they need to stop before I go crazy. I have called AT&T so many times to be able to stop these calls and they keep telling me there's nothing they can do.

Although on the national "Do Not Call" list we often receive 3-7 robot calls a day! Every phone company should be mandated to protect customers from those often fraudulent annoyances from robbing of us of our liberty and pursuit of happiness in the privacy of our own homes!

I think anyone who solicits by phone is a predator and like all predators they prey on the weak and elderly as they are least likely to defend themselves. We keep dangerous animals caged or leashed and the same should be for telemarketers. Our government should protect its citizens not make them fodder to be inconvenienced or taken advantage of. It is much too easy to let a machine interrupt my daily activities for no good purpose.

Please stop the ROBOCALLS ! Over 70% of the calls we receive are robocalls. We have to use the "Caller ID" to determine whether to answer the phone; or not. Most hang up before the answering machine kicks in; but a few blindly fill up the machine with their blather. Very annoying!

Since robocalls are illegal and the FCC apparently is ill equipped to enforce the law, I think it is high time to force telephone companies to disallow robocall lines, and obligate the phone companies to block the existing robocall capabilities.

Robocalls are a waste of my precious time and energy. When they come in on my cell phone, they waste my user minutes as well. The only robocalls I find acceptable are reverse 911 emergency notifications.

As an adult, I'm perfectly capable of picking out goods and services to buy and politicians to get my vote without phone messages. In point of fact, those who call LOSE my vote or purchase.

You can't tell them to stop calling because it's not a person, but a machine. I know why you allow them, it's so politicians can use them. Well, let them find another way. This is not fair to us.

Robocalls are extremely annoying. We the public cried out and received a partial solution in the way of the Do Not Call list, but that is not working well at all. Many of us do not enjoy being interrupted at dinnertime or called over and over by charitable organizations or even those who we do business with. If I want to purchase a product I'll initiate the transaction. When I have cash to give to charity I'll pick the destination when I'm able to give. For those who really insist, send me mail via the USPS, which is in need of the business, so that I can read it when I'm ready to.

Many people are disconnecting their land line to avoid annoying Robocalls. This of course is affecting the telephone companies negatively.

Stop RoboCalls!

Many times I have to unplug my phone so I don't have to hear it ring all day long. I have absolutely NO control over my own phone. I am utterly helpless.

Robocalls are an invasion of my privacy. Prior to my implementation of a robocall blocking product, calls from a variety of sources were coming in the rate of 3-5 per day, beginning at 8:03 AM and lasting until 10 PM. With the blocking product, my nuisance calls have been reduced by almost 100%.

Before, if I inadvertently picked up a robocall and requested that I not be called again, the callers would persist, sometimes more than once a day. Some even resorted to raising their voices as though I was deaf. As a caregiver and a senior citizen, these intrusions are alarming and troubling.

I would have never believed that my phone would become an instrument of anger and/or terror. Please do everything in your power to enforce and strengthen laws against robocalls.

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 135 of 5002

The abuses of calls at all times of the day, and the lack of a person when many calls are received makes the use very obnoxious. Many times, the phone remains dead for a significant duration before the recording begins. In addition, I simply don't like solicitations so the ability to block calls should be an option on all calls rather than my having to find the caller to ask them to put me on their do not call list. Many times, there is nothing but a simplistic recording and no way to opt out.

With the sole exception of emergency notifications (so-called "reverse 911 systems"), robocalling equipment has NO LEGITIMATE USE! Therefore, manufacture, possession, sale, or use of robocalling equipment should be a felony for all but those government agencies that need to make emergency notifications for public safety purposes. However, since Congress is still shirking their duty on this matter it is up to the FCC to do their own duty by making robocall blocking technology easily accessible to all Americans and to mandate that all communication companies make the technology available to all of it's customers immediately.

If I cannot get a "live" call from a political party/ candidate rep that just shows me TOTAL unconcern for us, the voting public.

It might be easy for you to say "just hang up", yet these calls come at all times of the day and night and on any days Monday through Friday.

Most of the calls are scams. This morning a man called, claiming he was from "Windows" about my computer. After I asked what part of India or Bangladesh he was from, he hung up on me. Even Rachel, the credit card caller has moved from land lines to mobile. When I respond, they never let me speak to Rachel. We are at a point that we only answer calls recognized by caller i.d.

Most of the calls I get every day, seven days a week, day and night are unwanted, unsolicited nuisance calls. I would love the ability to block them -- not just ignore caller IDs I don't recognize while the phone rings.

The so-called 'Do Not Call" list is a joke. I does NOT work, is utterly useless. Something more is required to stop this most aggravating nuisance.

Robo calls were continuous and were driving me crazy. Then I got nomorobo. I wait until the second ring before answering my phone. And I notice that at special times, like when I am trying to eat lunch or dinner, the phone often rings just once. Robo calls are overwhelming but thank goodness I am able to stop them.

I strongly encourage you to do everything you can to make it easier for consumers to block robo phone calls. We were getting deluged with multiple calls every day, often from totally bogus businesses. In our case, we finally found a tool, nomorobocalls, that works to minimize the unwanted interruptions.

Consumers need more tools like this. And if more legislation is needed so that offenders can be tracked down and prosecuted, that would also be a good thing.

If I pay my phone bill I should have the privilege of blocking unwanted calls that I feel are harassment. Then you have an ill person in the house and you have all of these calls coming in as if no one else matters. What makes it even worse is that I would not buy anything from these irritating phone calls. Half the time you can't understand them. Our rights in this country have gone right down the drain. Congress needs to start thinking about what the American people want. Do not take this away from us.let me give you an example. We sold our timeshare 14 years ago we were constantly getting calls asking if we want to sell our condo I've told them a 1000 times we sold it.

Please support Nomorobo and other robocall blocking solutions. Despite the presence of laws restricting telemarketing in California, many companies have found ways to get around the laws and continue to call my home. Desptie telling the companies to remove my number, they either ignore my request (and how am I going to protest?) or new companies emerge. Since implementing Nomorobo it has eliminated many but not all calls. I need Nomorobo to enable me to have peaceful time at home without unwanted interruptions. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I have filed over 25 complaints against this company with the FTC over the past years. Cannot block their number as they just call back using probably a spoofed number.

Robocals are a way for companies to intimidate and and bully senior citizens and others who may not be savvy enough to know an option exists via nomorobo calls to help them

Isn't the FCC the sponsor who awarded a company who could develop a system for blocking robo calls a prize ?

I live in Pennsylvania and we have the option of having our phone numbers blocked from robocallsand have also registered my number with the Federal site. However neither entity is as effective as nomorobo calls.

Vendors such as Verizon, AT & T et al should be required to initiate EFFECTIVE stop robo call programs for their customers and finally,,,,,,,, local, state and federal candidates for public office should be prohibited from using robo call systems ! They are just as annoying as credit card and medic alert calls ! STOP THE INSANITY !

In the past, ROBOCALLS have been insistent, annoying and invasion of my privacy. The calls would begin at 9 am and continue until 9 pm. Since I installed NOMOROBO it has been heavenly. Only a tiny fraction of ROBOCALLS have occurred. When a ROBOCALL does get through I record the number and contact NOMOROBO with the number and that call stops. The NOMOROBO has been a blessing to me and request that the FCC allow NOMOROBO to continue research in stopping more ROBOCALLS. The "Do Not Call Registry" is a farce.

Ninety-eight per cent of telemarketing calls are unsolicited and annoying. As the recipient of these calls, they are a complete waste of my time and the energy expended in answering the phone. Oftentimes, nobody is on the others end of the phone and I hang up while the automatic dialing mechanism is in the process of routing the answered call to a live telemarketer. Again, this is a waste of my time.

The remaining two per cent of telemarketing calls do not interest me either. Thank God for nomorobo.

Personally, I'm in a wheelchair & have trouble answering my land line. Often when I am able to answer within a few rings there is no one on the line. I wonder if some of these robocallers bill their sponsors by the number of connections completed, not the number of conversations actually made.

Prior to using Nomorobo, our house would get repeated phone calls... sometimes starting as early as 7:30AM and sometimes as late as 10:30PM any day of the week. I tried utilizing the Do Not Call list...which proved useless and ineffective. Now that we are registered with Nomorobo our phone can go an entire day sometimes longer with no phone calls. This is an effective consumer tool I choose to use to help keep my privacy on my terms. When it comes to receiving phone calls, I want to be the one to limit what I chose to receive. I feel empowered and supported by Nomorobo. I love having a service that is effectively helping me block unwanted calls, incessant ringing, calls that are answered with dead space as a computer connects to a recording. The FCC needs to focus and respond to the citizens of this country not the special interests of phone companies, medical alert salesmen, scam artists, and political parties.

Preventing the consumer the ability to have a third party monitor their telephone calls would compare to banning third party, fire wall or virus protection for a PC.

The shear amount of calls we were receiving before Nomorobo was ridiculous. You name it--salesmen, political calls, charitable organizations, surveys, private number, out of area, 800 service, Anonymous, Washington, D.C.,( or virtually any state in the Union), etc., etc., etc. I am sick of it! I want control over who can invade the peace and privacy of our home.

After we signed up for Nomorobo, the calls would just ring once and disconnect. MUCH BETTER. However, I noticed that this didn't get all the calls, so I went on our cable provider's website, scrolled through our calls on our phone handset and MANUALLY added those numbers to the BLOCK list. We had wonderful peace and quiet for about a week. Then slowly, but surely, the calls' frequency increased. I gave up. Now, Nomorobo still catches some of the calls, but the ones that get through, end up ring, ring, ringing all the day long. They are now starting at 8:30 AM to about 8:30 PM. We want to keep our landline, but this is absurd. I have also noticed that some of the calls have letters and numbers together, instead of just numbers in the traditional format. Also, my husband has gotten on some list on his cell phone and they call multiple times a day; never from the same number/place. We want CONTROL of robocalls and some semblance of our privacy back!

Phone companies don't want to block because they make money from robocalls. They put the blame on everyone but themselves. Penalize them by fining them three times the amount they make from robocalls, and watch how quickly they respond!

Over the last year and a half, number of robocalls I receive have exploded. I get now 10 - 15 calls a day from 8 in the morning and up to 10 PM. Most are the usual "800 services", "Credit card alert", "Consumer survey" and the like; plus new ones that multiply because they ARE NOT GET PUNISHED. I've bought new cordless phone which allows to block up to 250 numbers; but it is little help because these scammers change caller ID's and numbers at will. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?!!! Forget false problems, like Net neutrality, look at the real problems affecting tens of millions of americans. Solution, may be not perfect, is known, it is NOMOROBO. However, my service provider, COMCAST, doesn't want to participate, and FCC is doing nothing.

I beg you to start paying real attention to this country wide problem.

Robocalls need to be blocked, consumer must have tools to block these calls as they are used by individuals for fraud, harassment, intimidation, etc., more than anything else. Any legitimate use of robocalls is out-played by these individuals, so consumers should be allowed to block each and every single robocall. Any loophole for "legitimate" robocalls will be used for unintended purposes.

Nomorobo should be expanded to political robo calls. Politicians are the main source of calls during the campaigning season. They should be prohibited. As senior citizens we should not have to run to the phone for some political hack trying to influence our vote. the calls are an invasion of our privacy.

Before we activated Nomorobo, morning, noon and late into the night unsolicited, unwanted callers plagued us. The do not call registry didn't stop the calls. They just kept on coming. Hundreds of calls from scammers. Hundreds of calls from Rachel at card services. Calls, calls and more calls. We were so frustrated. The calls were driving us CRAZY! After we activated Nomorobo, 99.9% of the unwanted calls stopped. Nomorobo saved us from the abyss of unwanted, unsolicited calls. We are forever grateful.

When concentration counts, losing track of what you're doing interferes with productivity. And when productivity matters, nothing harms it more than interruptions. When those interruptions come in the form of robocalls that have nothing to do with one's interests or employment, it compounds the effects of lost on-the-job effectiveness.

Without the ability to block those calls, the interruptions add up, over the course of a year, to more than a man-day of effort. Multiply that by millions of workers, and the loss of output is incalculable.

Just as the government permits calls and faxes to be blocked from legitimate businesses, it should enable private enterprise (in the absence of government oversight of less-than-trustworthy companies) to provide technology to consumers that lets them block unwanted phone-based solicitations.

I think that robot phone calls are harassment and probably a form of stalking. In the last year I have gotten these calls at least eight times a day -- sometimes more. In 2014, an election year, I would get up to 5 calls a day from the same robot. They start as early as 8 a.m. and last untill as late as 9:30 p.m.

Today, I have reading glasses next to each of my three phones so I can identify the unknown caller and their telephone number ahead and not answer the call. But that doesn't make it any better. Just the ringing can be annoying particularly when you are busy cooking, cleaning, entertaining , etc. As a retiree I spend more time at home than the person going to work.. And having family and friends scattered across the nation, their calls,-- sometimes an emergency -- are important to me.

My home is my castle but it is invaded by robots. This is war and even though not a man, I am willing to fight.

There is no more electronic annoyance than the robocall. Unlike spam which can be filtered, there is nothing except a service like Nomorobo which can prevent repeated unsolicited, unwanted, intrusive phone calls for services which are unwanted, unneeded and usually fraudulent. This has all come about because the Federal Government has chosen to favor the special interests that want to continue the practice of forced marketing. The "Do not call list" is worse than a joke because it fosters expectations of competence by the Federal Government. A foolish proposition.

Thanks for your attention and help to this matter.

I have been in the Veterans movement since June 6, 1968 (D Day anniversary) since I came home on a stretcher from Vietnam.

This note that I write to you today, is hoping you can help me. I'm a 100% percent disabled American veteran who was injured on my fourth tour of Vietnam. When my phone rings, I always attempt to answer it, because I also mentor younger disabled war veterans from the last two war. Nothing is harder than crawling to the phone to answer it with all of my injuries and finding out it's a computer calling me.

About 22 combat veterans from both Iraq and Afghanistan are committing suicide every day. Between the VA system that is overstretched and in my opinion broken, a phone call could be a Veterans' last call, they may be reaching out to us senior veterans in what is called mentoring.

I have personally taken guns out of the mouth of more than one veteran who sometimes will call me to just say goodby. They are on the direct path to self destruction, the facts are clear. A phone call at my home may make the difference between life and death for todays younger veterans. Please look up the facts for yourself by asking the VA how many veterans each day are committing suicide? Just over one hour on your clock means another veteran is now gone. It's not the enemy killing our veterans, it's them taking themselves out.

Most of my calls are not from Veterans today. It's some computerized free enterprise company trying to sell me something. That alone should make the rules clear, don't call me if you're trying to sell me something! Who knows, maybe a member of your friends or family that is a veteran may call me to say goodbye one day. I don't make one dime, nor is it easy to take a loaded gun out of someone's mouth.

I work very close with veterans groups, the law enforcement community and others, that a guy named Larry Lamb a survivor of the Siege of Khe Sanh (the longest gun battle in American history) is someone you can trust and call. The do call me, and I have saved some and lost others, it's what happens in WAR.

Give the Veterans a chance please.

Love

Larry Lamb

Please continue to allow robocall blocking products. With the automated calls it is almost pointless to have a landline anymore. Without a blocking feature we are constantly bombarded by robo-calls, all hours of the day and night. It is an intrusion on a service we pay for,so therefore we shouldbe able to control it. If the consumer had their way robo-calls would be banned..nobody wants to talk to a machine and if we truly sought the business of the companies using this feature we would reach out to them... most of them are scams anyway. Let the consumer have some control please.

I pay for land line phone service so I will have it in case of emergency and for security system monitoring. I think that should give me the right to decide who can call me on that line. I am tired of having my phone ring constantly from robocalls. The Do Not Call registry doesn't stop these unsolicited calls. Robocalls should be completely eliminated in my opinion. Citizens should at least be able to bloc them. I'd like to be able to forward them all to the FCC or legislators who won't do anything to keep our homes from being invaded by these nuisance and often scam callers.

Blocking Robocalls is essential for many of us, especially those who may be susceptible to the many scams that are out there. No important call has ever been made through a Robocall. They are merely a device for the marketing of products, services, or political candidates. Do not allow yourselves to be dictated to by the money. Please consider those of us who need it. Thank you.

Please give consumers the ability to easily block robocalls. Despite having been listed on the "do not call" registry for years, I routinely receive robocalls because modern technology makes it nearly impossible to track the companies and fine them. I pay for the use of my phone and I want the ability to block unwanted calls such as robocalls. Please force phone companies to provide an easy, free way to block robocalls. Thank you.

We have had to tell companies that called us repeatedly that we:

- DON'T have credit card debt and don't need to consolidate

- DON'T need a home monitoring system (we already have one)

- DON'T need a new credit card

These companies change their caller ID. They change - spoof - the phone number they call from. They don't listen when asked politely not to call me anymore. They don't seem to get the idea that we neither need not want their services / products / whatever.

The ONLY solution we had to stop them from calling was NoMoRoBo, a free and easy to use service that blocks these idiotic companies from getting through to our home and disturbing our peace.

Because my home phone service provider (Verizon) only allows 10 calls to be blocked - and I have to specify which ones to block - I have to relay on a company like NoMoRoBo to provide this valuable service.

Do NOT prevent this. This company and this type of service has to be permitted.

We are paying for our telephone service, lock, stock and barrel in addition to every pass through tax and fee that the telephone/cable companies can pass on to us. That the FCC would even consider not allowing the taxpayer and consumer the RIGHT to block computerized calls is outrageous.

The public has NO lobbyists to represent its interests, as do the communications company. It is up to you to keep them in check.

Until we signed up with nomorobo.com, we had pestering computer dialed phone calls intruding on our lives. Please do not let pursuit of money by corporations abusing use of public information (our phone numbers) to continue by denying the public the right of refusal.

In spite of signing up for the "Do Nt Call" list that is supposed to make my phone number out of bounds for sales callers, we have suffered repeated "robocalls" at all hours of the day. Sometimes there is not even anyone there. It is a violation of the "Do Not Call" law, and it is extremely irritating.

I have a right to answer calls or not on my phone, and I also have a right to actually block calls from people I don't wish to communicate with. Why are these robocall people getting away with this? I use the Nomorobo system and love it. I hope the FCC can help us in eradicating this invasion of our privacy. These people are violating the law!

We have been signed up for a long time on the "Do Not Call" list but everyday we get bombarded with robocalls to our house phone. How is this even possible since we are on the "Do Not Call" list. Most of the calls are spoofed numbers and there is never a human on the other end. THANKFULLY we found Nomorobo, a free and easy service that cuts off these annoying calls. Everytime the phone rings just once we know that Nomorobo is doing it's job. Please let these types of companies continue to provide this valuable service of blocking robocalls.

My land line phone has become a huge nuisance - I receive multiple solicitation calls every single day. I no longer answer my phone because it is so rarely a personal call for anyone in my household.

We used to receive on average 10 - 15 unsolicited robocalls per day, some as late as 9 or 10 pm. Since listing our phone with Nomorobo, we have been bothered much, much less by these intrusions into our privacy. We strongly urge you to continue to allow robocall blocking products to be used. Robocallers and in-person marketers have an unfair advantage over the general public; privacy and domestic peace should always be respected.

It seems that as each year passes, consumers are asked to pay more for services rendered, while in return, receiving less service, freedom, and control over the very services we are paying for. Robocalls are an intrusion upon our private, and personal communications devices against our will.

If we have rights as citizens to deny access to our private properties, such as our homes, vehicles, etc., from unauthorized visitors, why should it be any different for our privately paid for means of communications? Our phones, whether residential or mobile, are in our private homes, as well as on our person. If we have not directly solicited in a very obvious and open fashion, and not by the deceptive means that many companies use to allow third party affiliations to contact us, which most of us don't want, then we should not be contacted by these automated or live means.

I'm on the donotcall list and Nomorobo. I still get two to three calls per day.

It drives me crazy. Pressing #3, as they say, 'if you don't not want to be called" only makes them call more. I've gotten calls from the same place twice in one day. I don't want an unlisted number. The phone compnay should consider how many people have dropped their landlines... not because they use their cell so much but because they've had it with telemarketers. I have caller ID so I no longer answer them but my days are spent running to the phone and then my ans. machine is filled with recordings about carpet cleaners, mortgage refi, etc. All recordings so you can't pick up the phone and tell them to stop. I've spent hours reporting numbers to the DONOTCALL website, which is a complete joke, so if my tax dollars are paying for that , you can stop now. Nomorobo is a bit better in that the phone just reings once and stops... but even that is annoying.

If companies or individuals have the right to record messages and send them to me via my personal phone,then I have the right to decide whether to answer, to hang up, or to block these calls. No regulation should prevent me from exercising this right.

When I got calls from Solicitors I got lied to and promised things that they never intend to give me for what they are selling. They are dishonest con people and thieves. I am a senior and 99% of time I am taking a nap, in the middle of something or eating dinner late in the evening and I get the annoying call from a dishonest person who intends to lie to me and take my money. They have no ID on their end so that tells me they are hiding something first of all. I do not want to be bothered by calls from liers. If I want to buy something I will go out and buy it period. They want to sell me Beach Front Property in Arizona and connive to convince me how great it will be is just wrong. Thank you

The phone companies should provide technology to block robocalls and telemarketing calls. The amount of these unwanted calls that I get each day is a tremendous waste of time and potential danger to consumers.

The phone companies should be embarrassed that their systems let these calls go through to their customers.

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 418 of 5002

It has always been a mystery to me why the FCC does not REQUIRE the phone companies to provide customers with a service that will do one, simple thing. Rather than have CALL BLOCKING which requires me to first identify the number of the caller that I want to block, I want a service to be known as CALL PERMITTING. This new service would allow me to create a blank database of only the numbers that I WANT to get through to me to cause a ring through signal to reach my phone (both land line and cellular). If the incoming ANI data does not contain a number that I SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZE to ring my phone, then their call is automatically BLOCKED by the phone company and my phone does NOT RING. This solves the problem of scammers from spoofing telephone numbers and stops EVERYONE from getting through unless I SPECIFICALLY put them on my pass-through list. It gets rid of CHARITIES, POLITICAL CALLS, and even BUSINESSES that I had a previous business relationship with. It also gets rid of pranksters and other imbeciles who think it is a good idea to make phony phone calls. Criminals who decide to call my phone number to determine if anyone is home before they break in will also be blocked with NO EFFORT FROM ME.

How will POLICE departments, SCHOOL systems, and any other official agencies be allowed to call me for reverse 911 calls to warn of emergency situations? That's easy. The local telephone business office would put their numbers on an EXEMPT LIST to allow them to get through at any time of the day or night.

It is about time that the FCC get off of its collective behind and do something that is of such importance to the vast majority of the American Public. I regard my phone line in the same way that I regard the front door to my house. I do not want anyone to invade my privacy in any way, manner, shape, or form unless I specifically invite them to contact me. Period. I believe that this is a First Amendment issue in that I have the right to be heard and to either hear or not hear from anyone I choose to accept or reject regardless of their motive or message.

Why would you not allow me to block spam robo calls to my own line? This seems so counter intuitive. The government service (donotcall.gov) is a joke that can be easily circumvented with calls routed through different nodes and the fines are a joke if they are even being imposed. Nomorobo saves us from a barrage of spam and robo calls on a regular basis, and if anything, you as a regulatory body should be helping them out, not fighting them. Free market, no?

Robocalls have gotten out of hand largely, I suppose, by how easy it is to set up an automatic dialing system and pre-recorded message. We are frequently called by the same businesses more than once per week. My wife and I are grateful that Nomorobo exists. At least the majority of calls get caught by them. Congress needs to listen to their constituents and not the businesses that employ these tactics.

Many senior citizens are bothered physically when a phone rings for no important reason and they are already on the "Do Not Call" registry. Also, some of these callers are not legitimate businesses. They are sometimes scams just itching to catch someone.

Your goal should be to make it easier to block Robocalls. Think about it. These companies are not interested in obeying laws if they call people already listed on the "Do Not Call" registry.

Robocalls and other unwanted solicitation calls have spiraled out of control. It has reached the point where we simply no longer answer our home phone. We easily receive 10 times as many unwanted junk calls as actual legitimate calls. When I tell solicitors that I am on the do not call list they laugh and have even cursed me out.

Phone companies are complicit in this onslaught and need to be forced to allow and implement any and all call blocking solutions. Phone solicitors refuse to abide by the do not call list and are never prosecuted anyway. The only answer is to provide citizens with tools to block these nuisance calls that invade our privacy on a nightly basis.

I cannot think of anything more annoying than to answer the phone and find that some scam telemarketer is pushing his product, service, charity, survey, political party, etc. by way of a recorded message and ignoring the do not call list. I am so unimportant to them that I'm not worth having a real person make the call, but am relegated to a recording instead. However, I don't want my number to be ignored on the do not call list either.

The FCC and the FTC have done a terrible job of managing this problem and have never put teeth into the legislation that calls for sever penalties for violating people's requested privacy and peace.

This problem needs to be solved for those of us who are sick of this practice. Not only robocalls, but all unwanted calls should be made easy to block by the phone companies of America. The technology is there to make this happen and these jerks should be stopped once and for all. My privacy and choice of how I spend my time at dinner, when sleeping, or doing other life activities should be a choice I can make and have it be effective. The do not call list has become meaningless and useless in stopping this harassment.

Please don't ignore my request because I requested to remain anonymous.

I waste hours every month, wading through needless robocalls, for every imaginable cause, that has no bearing on my family. I have filled the blocked numbers list on my phone system, I have filled the allowable blocked numbers list on my phone service, but it doesn't even come close to the number of robocalls we continue to get on our house phone and also on our cell phones. I have Nomorobo service on the house phone line, but even that fails to catch half of them. Every weekend I filter through the ones it did not catch and add them to the list of number we don't want to hear from. Clearly 99% of the calls coming through on our house phone are unnecessary and unwanted. If I had any interest in the services being sold, I could easily find firms online and contact them myself. At least then it would be firms I wanted to deal with, instead of someone I never heard of cold calling me. I do not seriously consider anyone who is cold calling. That goes also for junk mail and junk email. Our numbers have been listed on donotcall.gov for 10 years, but that doesn't seem to do any good, either. Until a solution can be developed that really addresses this trash, we need to retain the ability to block junk calls. While I do appreciate the fact that someone is potentially making their living this way, I don't want it on my dime. Robocalling is clearly out of control. It's way over time to get rid of it. Our phone line is being held hostage by these idiots!

I understand that phone carriers do not want to provide consumer with programs that block robocalls. I use Nomorobo on my land line, and that program blocks many robocalls, but not all. Unfortunately, my cell phone carrier does not offer the opportunity to use the same program. The Do Not Call List is essentially useless as just about everyone has been able to circumvent the law, so something akin to Nomorobo should be available to all consumers for land lines and cell phones.

Robocalls need to be stopped or blocked, I get many calls all day long and when I answer no one is on the line. Also I don't like when the machine asks you to hold for an operator to answer. I did not call them they had their machine call me.

I request that you institute appropriate rules with enforcement means to block robo-calls to private residences. It is presently an infringement on my privacy to have to put up with these calls. It is insufficient to allow robo calls to be transferred to private answering machines when we refuse to answer the call directly. It is now fraudagalent use of private phone services and negates my attempt to not answer the call, now I have to take separate action to remove these calls from my answering system, double jeopardy?

The issue of robocalls is getting out of hand. They typically start in the morning and go into the evening. If the call turns into a human caller - I inform then that the number is on the do not call list but they just hang up mid sentence. Please fix the problem or allow a system to reject robocalls.

Thank you.

The telephone system was never intended to allow marketers unlimited access to phone users. It is a service paid by the users, for the users' convenience, and not supported by sellers who gain access without permission.

Given the situation -- anyone can dial random numbers without cost or penalty -- we users have the right and should have the ability to block unwanted intruders.

Allowing pubic "service" companies to generate income by allowing any and all entities to intrude upon our lives at any time via computer robocalls is very disheartening. Of course, the service companies want to make some additional very easy bucks at the expense of the general public. Why should they be allowed to diminish the quality of life of everyone and we not be allowed to block these calls? What's next? Will we have to pay the phone company money to have get them to stop torturing us with robocalls?

Before signing up with Nomorobo, we were getting multiple robocalls per day, despite the fact that they are illegal. I reported the calls to the do-not-call registry many, many times, and nothing was ever done. Since signing up for Nomorobo, my robocall volume has gone down significantly. More work needs to be done, because illegal calls still get through. But everybody should have the ability to use products like Nomorobo to block robocalls. And more work needs to be done to make these products better.

The National Do Not Call list was great for a year or two. It is now completely ineffective. It looks from here like there is no more enforcement and that the people behind these unwanted calls are not the least bit afraid of The FCC. The unwanted callers have also learned to defeat many preventive measures and now spoof legitimate calls by faking legitimate phone numbers. It should not be legal to present false identity via electronic spoofing.

Americans would be better off if services like NoMoRobo are supported and expanded. At my home I receive from 2 to 6 unwanted calls EACH DAY that can't be blocked by the services I have now, including NoMoRobo and that provided by my phone and my phone service. These unwanted intrusions into my day need to be stopped and I support NoMoRobo's efforts to do just that.

Robocalls are a source of annoyance, inconvenience, increased blood pressure, and temporary insanity. They should be outlawed. Since that's not gonna happen, I should continue to be allowed to block them. EVERYBODY should be able to block them.

I use a service called Nomorobo which has been a godsend, blocking calls nearly every day. It diverts the call after a single ring, stopping me from racing (I use that term loosely at my age) to the phone just to hear that I've just won an island vacation (as soon as I give them my credit card number for the "service charges") or can get my diabetes medications less expensively (I don't have diabetes) or can turn over my timeshare to them for such a tiny fee.

Several Months ago I logged all my calls (using caller id information) and found that approximately 82% of incoming calls registered on my home phone were unwanted calls, mostly robocalls. This is an annoying level of unwanted calls. My phone is supposed to be for MY use and benefit and I keep it mostly for emergency calls, outgoing calls to doctors and businesses and friends, and calls to my children. Not all of the unwanted incoming calls are robocalls, but a lot of them are.

Please REQUIRE that consumers be given significant levels of control on their incoming phone calls and allow (and encourage) blocking of robocalls (and other unwanted calls, if possible). Forget about putting loopholes and exemptions in for politicians, religious organizations, and charities. If I want them, I'll allow them! The exclusion system should allow for enough specifics to allow any such calls that are WANTED to be sent through and the others blocked!

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 577 of 5002 the consumer should have the ability to dictate which callers have access to him/her, whether telemarketers, political callers; robocallers or otherwise. The consumer pays for his/her phone number & for use & maintenance of his/her devices. Often unwanted callers steal a consumer's limited allottment of minutes, in the case of mobile phones.

Please allow consumers the right to choose who "uses" its devices via phone calls. Allow all blocking of ALL unwanted calls to landlines or cell numbers.

These robocalls come in at all hours of the day and night, and are a serious invasion of privacy not to mention a conduit for illegal activity (scams). ATT allows me to block up to 20 at one time, but the numbers keep changing. It's time to put a stop to this annoyance.

We have AT&T and they allow the blockage of robocalls. Although this doesn't affect us, we fully support that other phone companies SHOULD do the same!

Customers are entitled to their privacy. Even though we have protection, the phone on occasion will ring once, then stop. The call is blocked, but often one of us begins to move towards the phone to answer it. If robocalls are allowed, we're certain those calling will continue to pester all of us, at anytime during the day.

Since a good percentage of these calls are for selling purposes, we don't need marketing 24-7 at our home! We're perfectly capable of buying merchandise as we've done for years through many different ways!

Whomever started this type of business needs to get themselves another job. People we know don't want these calls, let alone wanting to listen to an onslaught of sales pitches all day long! It's annoying and it must be stopped!

Nomorobo stops the 40 - 50 robocalls I get a month. I figure the carriers have a choice they charge us for our phone lines which are being abused by robocalls they have bypassed do not call lists. Those of us who are able and cannot get a robocall blocking service should cancel their service, find a VOIP solution that allows call filtering. If you won't support robocall blocking then you should mandate the phone lines are free as they seem to be supported by unsolicited advertising. The carriers wouldn't be fighting this if they weren't making money off of it seems like double dipping.

The "Do Not Call List" sounded like a good idea. Unfortunately, it never actually worked to any great degree. A solution to bothersome and, in many cases, illegal and fraudulent calls was discovered - NOMOROBO. I've used it for six months now and it has been a Godsend. You need to do everything you can to allow solutions like NOMOROBO to be easily used by frustrated and angry consumers. It would certainly be a breathe of fresh air if a government agency like the FCC did what was in the best interests of the average citizen rather than the best interests of a group with deep pockets.

I pay good money for my residential phone service and I believe I have the right to be able to block telemarketers from my phone, to include their ROBOCALLS. I am able to selectively block up to ten phone numbers on my Verizon Digital Voice phone account, but the sneaky telemarketers will change their calling numbers when they find out they are blocked, so that I can never keep up with their barrage! I can also block them with my Panasonic cordless phone, but there is a 30 number limit and they receive a busy signal so they call back in short order. I saw a news article, two or three years ago, that the FCC was making a law barring telemarketers from using automatic calling systems, unless agreed to by the recipient, under penalty of law, but evidently Congress or the Senate, in concert with telemarketing lobbyists, have squashed that bill/law.

Please allow ROBOCALL blocking programs to be allowed!

Stop robocalls now! if you are a consumer oriented organization, you will know that the companies opposing this, only want to make money off of the poor consumer's harassment.

I also suffered abuse at the hands of a stalking husband who bought a robocall service that originated out of TN, to regularly call random women in DC, as if from my DC cell, where I used to live and still have a cell number, between the night time hours of 6 pm and 9 pm. So their caller id would just show my number, putting the area code at the back. So when these women would call me back (and not digit the extra three digits for an area code, they would get me, asking why I was calling them and harassing them). One women was a divorcee whose husband bought such a service, and she told me all about it. The pattern fit and contd for about a month. I would take notes of my Q&A whenever someone called back. I would have them read back my number. The first three digits of my cell, w/o the 202 code, was traced back to a robocaller based in TN. Or call masker, or forwarder. Internet research confirmed I was a likely target. Good luck.

Robo calling results in most calls be answered with no one on the other end. It is more than annoying, it's harassment! Each robo call to my business costs me time away from my clients. If it is legal for a business to use technology to make calls and find someone on the other end before committing a resource to try and sell them something, it should also be legal for the receivers of those calls to use technology to avoid those calls. Phone companies should offer a solution, not be part of the problem and robo calls are a problem.

I spent 33 years with the Federal Aviation Administration and one of my greatest obstacles was not having the resources to provide the proper service to the American public. So although I was extremely frustrated at the inability of the FCC to prosecute and stop telemarketers whom I reported on numerous times for violating my "National Do Not Call List" requests, I understood that FCC resources are limited and I had to live with these unwanted calls. I had looked into several commercial products to block unwanted calls, but none met my needs until I found NoMoRobo. This service started at the request of the Federal government and has been a god-send. And the service in no way restricts the telemarking industry rights at all...they are still permitted to call me, and I have the right to simply pick up the phone and hang up on them. NoMoRobo simply automates the process for me! Please do not allow the telemarketing industry to change any laws in their favor. NoMoRobo is simply an answering service that works for me for free! If they can use technology to robo dial me, I should be able to use technology to robo hang-up on them! Everyday I hear at least one incoming phone call ring once and quit and I smile.....I'm able to see what number called me on my phone's caller ID and not once did it block a call I wanted. Please allow NoMoRobo to have expanded powers to block non-profit groups and political ads at my request instead of limiting what they can do. I don't mind federal government being unable to fix every problem the public has....that's just not possible. But to enact or change rules to make or problems worse would be unconscionable! If you can't make NoMoRobo better, them please just leave it be as is. Thank You.

Robocalls must be stopped!

I have been registered with the government "Do Not Call Registry" list for years and have found it to be totally useless in stopping the calls. I've filed complaints against numerous callers on Registry website and nothing has changed. That service is a complete and utter joke.

Despite my efforts over the last 5 or 6 years at stopping these telemarketing idiots from calling, I still receive numerous calls on my two phone lines and my fax line everyday of the year. I received at least four or five of them just today.

The latest trend is that they are now "spoofing" my own phone number!!! When my phone rings the caller ID indicates that it my own phone calling me!

That is ridiculous! The steps currently in place by the telephone companies and the "Do Not Call Registry" are totally ineffective and do nothing to stop the calls.

Automated calls have been a HUGE annoyance for me. I recently had a very unpleasant experience with a company offering a credit repair service.

This was a robocall recording that gave no option to be removed. Would call between 6 and 8 times a day and never allowed us to speak to a representative. These calls had to be manually blocked using a very cumbersome method suggested by the phone company.

After blocking, we would receive calls from the same company under a different caller ID number. Each time we blocked one number, they would call the next day using a different number. Eventually, they began spoofing the caller ID info in such a way that it could not be blocked at all.

Even our phone company could not suggest a reasonable fix other than to change our number. I'm sorry, but this it NOT an option. I should not have to turn my life upside down because the phone company refuses to provide a secure service for it's customers.

Please consider a policy that will allow phone companies to block autodialers and robocalls. There are laws against Spam emails. Why is there no law against this intrusion?

I am sick and tired of being harassed inside my own home. In addition to holding down a rather intense job, I run a music teaching business in my home. Before I signed up for Nomorobo, I was strongly considering doing away with my landline because not only was it shattering my very limited downtime during dinner, it was compromising my teaching. Especially during election cycles, I was getting up to 15 calls per day. Turning off my ringer didn't help, as my answering machine beeps incessantly once it records a call. Nomorobo has solved the problem for me. How can it be legal for robocallers to hijack a service for which I am paying in this way, especially when I have been on the national do not call list for as long as it has existed, and have specifically asked these companies to take me off their calling lists? Violations of the do not call list ought to be prosecuted, and I ought to be able to determine whether or not I wish to receive political calls. Since this is not the case, PLEASE do not remove the only recourse left for consumers to block robocalls.

We get unauthorized calls on a daily basis. So, the phone companies do not do a good job of blocking robo calls. So, the FCC needs to allow us to do this (or force the phone companies to do as good a job as we can). Please force the phone companies to allow robocall blocking solutions to us - the consumer!

I was getting anywhere between 10 and 25 robocalls on any given day before I got nomorobo. How anoying do think it is to get that many calls every day that you don't want, trying to sell you something that you don't need or want. It seemed like we spent the whole day answering the phone, just to listen to a sales pitch for something usless, and when we said no thanks, we were usually met with more pitches, or just plain rudness from the caller. I think robocalls of all types should be outlawed! They are nothing but a nuisance, and they disturb the peacefull atmosphere in my home. Nomorobo is the best thing I've done to my phone service.

I totally support the ability, as a consumer that relies upon the telephone system, TO HAVE A TELEPHONE SERVICE FEATURE THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO BLOCK ROBOCALLS. I receive about four to five calls a day from these robocall services. (Three to four times more during State and local government elections.) The callers use high pressure tactics to get me to purchase numerous services THAT I DON’T WANT OR NEED. My mother got caught in this web of deceit and paid over $2,500 for stuff she didn’t need on an annual income of $28,000. Do you job and give the consumer the ability to block robocalls through our telephone service provider. As the individual reading this e mail, I am sure that you receive these calls as well so you know how irritating they are.

About phone stalkers that harass the civilian population: We used to get hundreds of robocalls and recorded messages per week with the 'push one to talk' or 'push another number to stop these calls', the latter causing even more of the annoying calls. Some of the phone calls are from V*************** numbers overseas, from different countries, etc. Some of these phone stalkers actually used our own home phone number to call us ! How do these PHONE STALKERS get away with that sh*t ? ! Finally I said I'M NOT TAKING THIS STALKING ABUSE ANYMORE ! I decided to aggressively defend our phone line, and regularly phone the FTC at 1-888-382-1222 to complain about phone stalkers almost every day. This aggressive defensive approach has worked somewhat, only the stalkers continue to call in spite of the fact that we are on the DO NOT CALL list. HELP US PROTECT OUR PHONES ! ! ! ! HELP ! ! ! !

I do not write as eloquently as I would like, do in plain terms... I loath robo calls and love any way to eliminate or reduce them. The National Do Not Call List does not work. Services such as Nomorobo do work. I'm sure there are other such services, but this is the one I chose to sign up with. That said, there still are at least a dozen calls that get through each week. Each counts toward my limited call count. I wouldn't mind marketing calls so much if there was a real live person on the other end.

Robocalls abuse the purpose of the telephone as a subscriber intends it. We who pay to have a phone number do so to be accessible to PEOPLE who wish to contact us - nobody with a phone intends it for use by machines. Since many robocalls originate from foreign countries, and use spoofing techniques, US laws against such abuse are unenforcable. Therefore the only recourse we have as phone subscribers is technology to limit who can get through.

I understand that you may be considering prohibiting the use of services such as Nomorobo to block robocalls. Robocalls have become an incredible intrusion and nuisance into my everyday life and the only relief I have found is activation of Nomorobo. Call blocking alone is not sufficient because of limitations on the number of phone numbers that can be blocked and the ability of those making robocalls to constantly change the numbers from which they make such calls. Instead of limiting or prohibiting blocking services, you should be expanding access and instituting rules that impose more restrictions on the ability to make robocalls. There is no reason why a person suffering assault should be deprived of the ability to choose to block these types of calls.

Please do the right thing and protect my right to reject robocall assaults.

I use to get a half dozen robo calls per day and they were very annoying. When answering a robo call most of the time (80%) no person would be on the line. Scince I signed up for nomorobo it has made life better in the evening without those annoying robotic calls. When and if my telephone provider says I can no longer block the robo calls. My business with them will terminate.

Thank you

So tired of running for my phone and it ends up being a sales pitch that I have no interest in.

That's basically all the calls I get on landline. It is frustrating, tiresome and annoying.

Please help put an end to this.

I find it very disturbing to have the phone ring so many times a day with telemarketing calls and totally ridiculous to answer only to have nobody on the line or get a prerecorded message. Asking to opt out is usually impossible because there is no one to speak with and when you call the number back you find that the phone number does not exist. I take care of my 89 year old father...its difficult for him to get to the phone to answer it just to find that it is robocall or or unsolicited telemarker. The phone company will only block 25 numbers and our phone will block 30 numbers. (My mobile phone will block unlimited numbers, so why can't the phone company?). We are registered with the "do not call" list, but that hasn't stopped the calls from coming in. In fact, we are getting more calls than ever. The simplest solution that I see at this time is to force the phone providers to allow unlimited call blocking and to a provide service to reroute robo calls from calling through.

When I register consumer complaints with those states the attorney general's staff in those states inform me that those numbers are computer generated and not traceable. If this problem is not addressed on the national level the states will continue to be overwhelmed. Please give us the tools to block these all of these calls.

Rachel from "Card Holder Services" has been calling my home 3-7 times a week for 5 1/2 YEARS. I have been on the do not call list the entire time. I have reported the problem to the FTC and the FCC. Amazingly they have both claimed they cannot make the man who owns the company stop. They actually know who he is and where he lives (California). There are millions of TAXPAYERS who are being tortured by this man and other companies. And the phone company profits and Congress gets stroked. Google "Rachel from card holder services".

"Robocalls" on mobile phones have been repeatedly linked to predatory behavior aimed at deceiving citizens at best, and intimidating and stealing vital personal and financial information at worst. The greater and not far-removed impact of the government acting passively in response to this widespread practice destabilizes consumer faith. The communications industry has increased its revenues by taking advantage of the government's passivity in responding to this completely remediable consumer threat. Please find a way to unhinge from your participation in this unfair and illegal practice and allow a way for consumers to avoid this without having to pay a fee.

I'm fed up with running to the phone and to find upon answering, it's a wonderful robocall. It's my private phone, I pay for it and expect it to be used for legitimate calls by people I've given the number to for personal or business matters. There is no logical reason for blocking products not to be available to the public. It's especially frustrating when we have to wait for someone on the other end to decide to speak. We have to wait for someone to tell us something we don't want to hear in the first place. ENOUGH !!

Tim Human Seaford, De

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 745 of 5002

The existing FTC's Do Not Call list is nearly worthless. It is routinely ignored and requires the victim to get information which, when asked for, results in the pest caller hanging up.

Worse, most pest calls are usually robocalls, almost always with a recording on the calling end. Eventually, if you last through the recording, a live person will try to sell you something.

These robocalls are an outrage. If it is not possible to effectively outlaw them, for whatever reason, robocall blocking blocking services or devices should be routinely available, and all phone carriers should be required to inform subscribers of their availability. Better yet, all phone carriers should be required to provide a robocall blocking service upon request by the subscriber. This is the most effective way to free us from the plague of robocalls.

The "Do Not Call" registry was the government's answer to loud complaints regarding annoying robotic phone calls. It was filled with loopholes and didn't work. The FTC awarded a prize to the best solution to annoying robo calls and Nomorobo.com was the winner. It worked, proving that private industry, given incentive and left to its own devices, can easily solve the problem. Now, the FCC, li$tening to Big Telecom, proposes to do away with this choice. SHAME ON YOU!!! I don't want solicitations on my phone. Period! And I want a government representative of the people, not one that is a shill for corporate greed.

I was getting five or six robocalls a day before I subscribed to nomorobo. A lot of them were the same thing - targeting senior citizens and others having to do with credit card interest rates. Over and over, the same calls from the same companies. There was no way to tell them to take you off their list, because it was impossible to speak to a person. My options were to pay an extra fee to my phone company to block the call or to use Nomorobo (free). Since I started using nomorobo, the calls have ceased to be a problem. My phone still rings four or five times a day and stops after one ring - which is the way Nomorobo intercepts the call.

I can't think of any good reason why I shouldn't be able to use this on my phone. Of course the phone companies oppose it - it cuts into the fee they charge for blocking calls!

I can't see much of a difference between using this and listing your phone number on "Do Not Call" list.

As a retired person I was inundated with robocalls. My son alerted me to robocalls blocking systems and I employed one of them. It has really worked to cut back on unwanted calls. Almost none of the robocalls I received used my answering machine to leave messages, so it was clear they did not have an important message for me. I support robocall blocking companies and systems. I don't want to be hounded as I have been increasingly in recent years via robo systems. I really desire to have a robocall blocking system and request that you permit them to service those who desire them.

I pay extra every month for caller ID so I don't have to be bothered with the telemarketers and robots during my waking hours.

I have been on the no call list since it became available but the list is just a waist of time and money. It stops no one.

It shouldn't take rocket science to remove this problem and Block ALL robocalls - except those I've specifically authorized (alerts from my electric company when there's bad weather expected, because I use life-saving electrical devices). While my last phone had a feature that allowed me to block a specific number, my UPGRADE to a so-called smart phone doesnt' have that feature - plus the Spammers are continually changing their displayed/transmitted numbers. Threaten to shut down their business altogether and perhaps we can have some progress BUT please fund/find the technology to make blocking a required part of cell phone plans And to develop a better means of blocking these unwelcome, uninvited intrusions and theft of services for which we, the owners of cell phones, pay.

Robocalls are in invasion of an individual's right to privacy and freedom from the intrusion of unwanted and unsolicited phone calls. Calls which are often made by unscrupulous and unethical representatives or are scams altogether. The fact is the "Do Not Call List" is not enforced and is essentially a farce. Lacking any other means, it is therefore incumbent upon individuals to find ways to block the intrusion and stop the calls. If the FCC can't provide the means to stop them, then it should support the availability of call blocking products.

The Robocall service has given us much needed relief from all the bothersome callers who have no right to invade our lives and intrude on our personal phone services that we pay large bills to have so we can connect to people. This is our right to have our communication lines for our own use and not for the use of these hackers that obtain our information and personal habits. It is ridiculous that no one has stepped in: I get several of these calls a day, some of them come through my caller id with my own number on them, so they must be quite sophisticated and criminal. Since using the robocall service, I have enjoyed silence again from these callers and it is just about perfect. It should be used and monitored by anyone who sells phone service.

I am frankly appalled at the volume of robocalls. I find them intrusive, certainly unwanted, and a violation of my privacy. I feel very strongly that I should be able to block unwanted calls at my discretion, and that the FCC should make tools and mechanisms for this purpose easily available to citizens.

Like absolutely everyone else I know, I too have extremely negative feelings about robocalls. I am sure you have already heard the gamete of negative adjectives associated with robocalls, both polite and otherwise. Your "do not call" list is quite ineffective and stronger approaches are sorely needed. - don neuman don neuman Massachusetts

Robocalls are the worst thing EVER, especially from politicians who don't have to abide by the no-call list. Nomorobo has saved my sanity by blocking up to 10 calls a day! Please, please, please allow the general public to have these applications... or ban calls to those on the no-call list.

Prior to implementing a robocall blocking service we received an average of 18 robocalls per day over 6 months on two phone lines. That's 36 calls per day to look at with caller ID to determine if they are calls we want or need to answer. 432 calls per year to sift through and most of them during the dinner and evening hours.

We actually had to upgrade our phone services to a service that could accomodate the robocall blocking service that we now use. We now get only a call or two a week that is orther than a legitimate call. And these are calls dialed by a person, not robocalls dialed by predictive dialer software.

Why should I have to pay for upgraded service to have the ability to block robocalls with a service that I had to reseacrh and install? My guess is that the phone company is making too much revenue from selling services to known robocall organizations and is reluctant to stop or provide call blocking for fear of revenue loss. It is called greed!

Please support and encourage call blocking on both landline and mobile phones. The unending solicitations at all times of day and night are beyond intrusive. Responding to phone solicitations is unsafe and subjects uninformed and/or otherwise trusting individuals to serious loss of privacy and resources. There can be no sensible argument against giving individuals the right to accept or reject unwanted calls. Moreover, in the immediate aftermath of today's terrorist events in Paris, and other such recent events in Canada, Australia and, 9/11 New York, it is not an over-reaction to fear that malicious wrongdoers will somehow use telephone communication as yet another weapon in their arsenal of destructive strategies. Please, please, please support and encourage call blocking on both landline and mobile phones.

As a Senior Citizen I am constantly barraged by scam robo calls.

Most are trying to pry confidential information , i.e credit card numbers, social sec. numbers, banking info. Many of my peers have been conned by giving this sort of information, only to have it used in identity and credit card theft.

Most originate outside the U.S., and prey on our citizens.

Please allow the blocking of such calls by allowing that blockage to be provided by telephone providers.

Why should I have to be swamped with everyone calling me for something I do no want or need? This is not a service - it is an envasion of my privacy. Most of these calls come in around dinner time. How annoying is this? I suggest the caller has the same right to call and annoy the robocaller. The calls need to be reversed to those calling. I strongly believe there should be a free service to block all calls that I wish to block.

The federal government cannot handle this huge problem of Robo calls. Go on the Internet and see just how angry people truly are. I am glad I found out about NoMoRobo because they solved a problem.

There are many many people that fall for the cons that these people give. It is very sad when people are cheated out of their hard earned money, not to mention the inconvenience of answering telephone calls with no one there.

I only wish the federal government can stop that outfit from India that call claiming to be from Windows or other companies saying that they have detected a virus on my computer. I laughed at them but they got an older friend of mine and tricked her into paying them money to clean up her computer after they installed the virus to begin with. Thank goodness NoMoRobo takes all those calls for me.

When a company calls me with a fraudulent phone number appearing on my telephone screen, I just add it to my list for NoMoRobo to take. Who would want to do business with a company that?

The do not call list no longer works. When I moved a year ago and got a new phone number I started receiving sales and robo calls within hours of the phone being activated. When you research the numbers that call on the internet they are listed as marketing and sales that do not honor do not call. I even received a robo call from my own phone number one day. These calls are annoying and if you answer to try to get removed from the list you get more frequent calls. I believe these calls are someone trying to get money from me so I don't answer. I can block spam on my computer but have no way to block this phone spam. This should be a function that is as easily available and easy to use as computer spam blocking.

When you pay for a call you have the right to refuse. Also if your number is unlisted then only those you want to have it; have it. To call every number is an abuse of your privacy. Not to mention they are unwanted scam artists preying on the uninformed to get information on your identity. I would never deal with someone who doesn't want to be identified or fake their own identity. If you call the number back you can't reach them, number is invalid, mailbox full, not accepting calls or the number is spoofed(not their real number). Most show a cell phone number and no name or address is available, then they change the number each month. Some just call and let ring once and hang up, you don't even get a chance to answer. Then within a minute they recall and hang up. Also they hang up when you answer. Anyone with a brain know not to deal with them but some idiots are out there. How can anyone thinnk this is on the level but they continue to call. I have been on the DNC registry for 14 years and still I get calls all the time. Some say the DNC is worse than not being on it. They claim less calls when they removed the number. WHY these slimeballs are still in play is a pure case of the FCC not doing their job to stop them. No way can they make honest calls without identifying themselves correctly with a real, actual address and name. Credit card services is not a real name. I get a lot of these wanting to reduce my interest payments but never tell me where they are; TX, VA, etc are all I can get out of them. When I ask for a return number so I can call them back if we get disconnected they hang up fast! Even if I try to get an actual address all I hear is a click! They have to be stopped before someone stops them permanently due to frustration. kirkville, ny

I was finally forced to purchase an expensive call blocking device for our home land line after years of receiving annoying robocalls. I have signed up on the National Do Not Call registry on several occasions over the years with little to no success.. My wife and I are both retired senior citizens with major health problems and were were constantly bombarded from early morning to late evening hours with these robocalls. We could not rest peacefully due to the invasion of our privacy from these incessant telemarketers. If the FCC can't stop these purveyors of havoc on people's lives, then they should at least let us purchase any device or means at our disposal and cost to attain some semblance of peace and quiet from these vermin. P.S., the call blocker does work and our lives have been much more livable since its installation. The robocalls still attempt to call but the call blocker prevents the phone from ringing and disturbing our peace.

The incredibly annoying and deceptive use of "robocalling" has taken the scourge of telemarketing to new lows. Now they can spoof the caller id so you can't tell who is calling you at dinner time. I don't need to lower my credit card rate! Just for fun I sat through a sequence of representatives just to see what the catch was. At the very end you find out it only costs $650 to have them TRY to lower your interest rate. What a scam.

Robo calls are a rude interruption of our lives, typically coming during lunch or dinner time. They are not wanted, and even if I wantec the product they were selling, I would not buy it from a robo caller.

The number of "robocalls" has escalated exponentially in the past few years. There are many nights that we are interrupted 4, 5, 6 times or more. When picked up most of these calls wind up with a hang up; those that do actually get "answered" is by a recorded voice for any number of reasons. THIS IS MY PHONE AND MY HOME. The people who do robocalling do NOT have any respect for their recipients peace of mind, peace in the home. As an American I have the RIGHT to privacy and the RIGHT to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These calls usurp those rights as well as many more.

Robocalls are annoying and disturbing. Features like NOMOROBO are a wonderful thing and should be available to all customers of all phone companies.

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 884 of 5002

Robocalls are constant nuisance. These calls are received about a dozen times each and every day. They come is variety of forms ranging from recordings, telemarketers, and just dead air. My cable company provides up to 32 numbers to block and the ability to block callers that block caller ID. This is not enough to stop these harassing calls. Robocalls are ubiquitous now and getting worse. There are just too many to list to block the numbers and many use false callers ID to get past the blocking of anonymous callers.

NOMOROBO has been a great help in solving this problem. It is doing a great job of bringing these calls to zero with my cable company Optimum which provides my phone service.

I am now getting robocalls on my cell phone. Fortunately my smart phone can set a block on these when I get a call wherein I set the phone to block the number.

The do not call registry does not work. These robocallers do not stop or care about the registry.

A law must be enacted to stop this activity.

Unfortunately for the citizens of the United States the laws are now bought and paid for by big business. As phone companies are big business with big campaign contributions I suspect that the interests of the people will be trumped by big business. As the benefactors of big business dollars I doubt congress will do anything to stop this scourge on its constituents lest they lose the campaign contributions that buy the media adverts that get the votes for election.

Please prove me wrong and vote your conscience.

Do the right thing and serve your constituents.

Blocking robocalls is necessary today because government organizations do not care if we, the consumer, receive robocalls and other calls that should be blocked. Why? All government organizations are helping big business make more money and this is by allowing these robocalls. This is bad for us consumers and tax payers.

So FCC please stop these robocalls and other illegal call to my phone. It really bothers me.

Nomorobo product works very well and I could live without it.

Thanks,

The Robo Callers are getting more and more creative just because I won't accept their calls. They are calling during dinner times, bed times, all hours of the day, and even disguising the real reasons for their calls. I pay for my phone and I shouldn't have to put up with this. There are no civil liberties being salvaged here.....just annoying calls that I hang up on or ignore anyway. I work the graveyard shifts so it is very upsetting to my sleep cycles to have to put up with this damaging tactic of calling me for things that I am not even interested in. We have enough of that with TV commercials .....when will it ever stop? Please draw the line and enact a law that will help us. Thank you for your time.

I am writing you to tell you that I absolutely think robocall blocking products should be legal. Robocalls are annoying, invasive and should be abolished. They are impossible to stop and are constantly calling my phones. I don't even answer a call if I don't recognize the number. If they don't leave a message I figure it's a robocall. The robocall software I use has been a Godsend. While it doesn't eliminate all robocalls it makes life so much better. I utterly support the legality of robocall blocking products. I don't need to be answering calls made by computers that I don't want to hear or answer. Instead of stopping robocall blocking products I advocate stopping robocalls.

Robrocall blocking is essential. FCC remains powerless to stop "scam" calls and the "do not call" list is a joke.

I have been using a robo blocker for almost a year and I experience at least 10 to 15 single rings (s sign that they were robos) every week. I have caller ID so I can see how often these calls originate from the same number and how often the caller is anonymous. Please do not take this ability to block away from me since there should be no such calls coming into my phone anyway. I am on the Do Not Call List and have been for years. It doesn't seem to affect the number of nuisance calls received.

I need call-blocking to function as a human being. I get 30 calls a day I have no desire to receive from foreign phishing operations to product cold callers sold my name by my health care provider, realtors unsolicited making offers to buy my home and debt collector scams on 20 year old debt much of which isn't mine! Call-blocking is the only reason I now own a home phone and don't change my number every 6 months!

I get at least 3 robo calls a day. It is so invasive and interrupts what I'm doing. I don't answer the phone if I can help it when I get one of these calls. Signing up in the past for do not call lists did not seem to make a difference. Our lives are stressful these days, and that's one less stress

I could live without. Please eliminate these useless calls!

For months after stopping other calls with the Do Not Call list, I got at least four to five calls per week, many twice in a day, from a notorious collection agency. I never answered or called back. According to Experian and Equifax, I have not had a single late payment on any obligation since at least 1984.

Robocalls are just a scourge! They are incessant, often rude and don't offer any services that I would want to hear any information.

They call as early as 8:15AM Eastern time because so many come from numbers that are not the numbers that show up on caller ID.

The worst is the phishing as the IRS wanting you to call back immediately. If one calls back, your number goes on an active robocall list.

There will come a time without having nomorobo on my cell phone that I just won't answer it any longer.

I just want to let you know that I think that the "Do Not Call List" is a joke. I receive several calls a day from every scammer in the Nation. It is getting out of control!! There are calls that I receive that use spoof numbers that I can't block but would love to have the option to do so.

Since my phone carrier does not have a number blocking option I searched around and found out about Nomorobo. It has helped a great deal. Now if some bogus robo call comes through, the phone rings once and Nomorobo takes care of the rest. It helps to relieve some of the "Bogus" calls but I would also like to have the option as to who can and cannot call me.

Thank you for listening to my concerns

Forwarding. This is the best product to protect

Ring enables nomorobo to sample the incoming phone

Call. If some person does not care to use nomorobo,

Nobody is forcing them to. To those of us who view

Please insist upon allowing me and my telephone company the ability to block "robo calls" I would estimate that 85% to 90% of the incoming calls to my telephone are robocalls. They are annoying and almost entirely made up of scam sales and fraudulent calls. The phone number is always spoofed with a useless or nonexistent caller id information. It's my telephone and I pay the bill on it. No one especially the phone companies has the right to tell me that I cannot block any phone number coming in to my phone line.

Having robocall blocking has been GREAT. Can't emphasize how helpful blocking has been. We were receiving as many as 6 or 8 call a DAY - many from the same number. Notifying Nomorobo of new robocall numbers has been effective in reducing the number of calls even more. The Do Not Call Registry is ineffective as a deterrent since the scammers either ignore the list or stay ahead of it by changing numbers.

We should not be harassed by unwanted calls and should provide protection for the unwary about the scammers.

Please help us to keep blocking robo calls , they are not only annoying but dangerous to my wife's health. She is waiting for more spinal surgery and our robo blocking now enables her to stay in her chair without missing any important calls and without causing her physical pain trying to answer every anonymous called trying to annoy us. frank and jane maguire South Portland, Maine

Is your responsibility to ensure a robocall blocking feature is available to every American on every phone. The practice of Robocalling is an unconscionable invasion of my home, my privacy, and my peace of mind and my phone line! It should be ruled nothing short of illegal.

Please follow your conscience. Do not allow this insidious practice of robocalling to continue. Stop these telemarketers by making it illegal.

And up until this has been accomplished, promote robocall blocking products.

Thank you.

Either they want you to buy something or donate to something.

Some of these calls are just scams pretending to be legit.

If I want a product or to donate to a cause, I will initiate the call.

Robocall blocking saves our sanity and probably our financial security as well. As senior citizens, we may find over the years that we have diminished mental capability. The fewer phone scams that make it through our phone block, the safer we will be.

I choose to use my phone to contact friends, family and businesses that I patronize. I resent the fact that so many companies, charities and political parties monopolize my phone line with interruptions from robocalls at the most inconvenient times. I am tired of the mindless interruptions. Signing up for the NOMOROBO service has been a wonderful benefit for my quality of life and I wish that I could sign my elderly mother up for the service as well. Please do your duty for fellow citizens and shield us from the annoying robocalls.

Please allow consumers to block robocalls using their local phone service providers. The calls come at all hours of the day and night. We have had two calls at 5 A.M, for the last two mornings. A call at that time might means a family member is ill or needs assistance so we always answer. It is frustrating to realize the 5 A.M. call is a robocall and it is difficult to get back to sleep. Those who make robocalls don't respect dinner time and sleep. The calls are annoying and lack respect and civility. Thank you for helping with this problems.

I am writing not just for myself, but for the people I work with and the parents of children my children go to school with. We are tired of receiving these robocalls. I have yet to come in contact with anyone who has taken advantage of a service or product offered to them through these robocalls. They are more of a nuisance than anything else. Since I've been using a product to block robocalls, it's easier to listen to my voicemails. If companies have the right to sell me something in this manner, why shouldn't I have the right to block these calls. I believe this should also extend to the various politicians using this method to get their name out there. I intentionally won't vote for any politician who uses robocalls to contact me.

I receive approx. 5 calls a day with people trying to sell me something. I don't answer the phone anymore, unless I hear a voice I know. My family and friends don't like me doing that, but not answering is the only defense I have against these telemarketers. My family and friends have the same problem with robocalls. I consider it a national epidemic. Telemarketers have no shame; they call early in the morning and are especially active during dinner time. I'm sure this is not news to you. Please consider giving the consumer help and relief in getting these calls blocked.

Thank you for your concern.

It is time to end unsolicited phone calls from organizations that have no relationship with the person they are calling, including calls from telemarketers and fundraisers. The do-not-call list is helping, but enforcement is challenging. The best way to stop unsolicited calls is to make call-blocking technology more accessible to consumers; however, we need the FCC's help. Phone companies are making it difficult to implement the call-blocking technologies that are currently available. For example, Verizon Wireless does not offer the "simultaneous ring" feature consumers need to use NomoRobo on cell phones. Can the FCC please use its regulatory authority to help?

Robocalls have become a nightmare. I was getting 6 to 10 calls a day from the same recorded message. It went beyond annoyance to actually causing interruption of important calls.

PLEASE do something!! Help us to STOP these constant and annoying calls!! They totally destroy our peace and quiet. They care NOTHING about interrupting dinners or evenings at home. One of the MOST irritating things about these calls is that MOST of the time, even when we try to ANSWER the call, they HANG UP. Most likely this is because someone else was reached before we did answer the phone. We are senior citizens. We have close relatives who are sick and in hospitals. We always think that these calls could be from someone important. We have to run to the telephone...which is getting harder and harder to do with our OWN health problems...and then find out it is nothing but these annoying calls!! You really MUST do something to protect law-abiding U.S. citizens. Please PLEASE help us!!

Robocalls are out of control and with the advent of IP telephony, donotcall.gov became useless. I was one robocall away from cancelling my landline completely. Nomorobo has sufficiently, although not completely, eliminated enough robocalls that I have decided to maintain my landline for now. I am stunned that phone companies are not themselves working more aggressively to curtail robocalls as I'm sure that I'm not the only paying customer who will abandon my landline if robocalls return the their previous annoying level.

Dallas, Tx

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 1078 of 5002 while I am unsure my protest will actually matter, the thing I am certain of is that this whole business of telemarketers calling my personal wireless phone to offer me a cruise I don't want, or home insurance I do not need, is far out of control. Wireless companies (as well as residential phone providers) allow only a finite number of callers to their own block list. Therefore, as the person paying for access to calls I DO want, unwanted solicitation calls should be restricted. Many municipalities have laws preventing solicitation outside public places and business, but I am to believe no legislation exists to prevent them from reaching my private phone line? Unacceptable! These calls should be forbidden, or at the very least consumers should have the freedom to unilaterally block them.

The totally automated robo calls are exasperating. They take time from what I want to do and fill up my answering machine with garbage. In this group, besides those trying to sell me unwanted time shares, power, legal and medical services, I would also like to block political calls, but I guess that is too much to ask. When I am actually switched to a person, I tell them in no uncertain terms that I will vote against their candidate or party if I get another call. That usually puts them off, but it is a nuisance. I should be able to decide who I want to block and who I do not want to.

You and Congress tried to institute a National Registry several years ago and all my phone have been registered. I still get calls. Mostly ROBO Calls. The calls are the same recording and every time I tell them not to call me or press a buttom to stop calling, they just come back under a different number. The same voice, message and purpose.

You need to either require the phone companys to add a service to stop ROBO Calls or stop ROBO Calls and outlaw them. This has become a huge problem and something needs to be done.

I've been on the Do Not Call list since it was created. It worked in the beginning but I now receive just as many calls, if not more, than I ever did. And now they call my cell phone as well. It's constant and annoying. Yesterday I received a robocall from the same number three times in a row! I have tried reporting violators but it's not easy. While I have Caller ID and can avoid these calls, people like my 86 year old father and 91 year old aunt do not and they are the kind of people most susceptible to these atrocious practices. If Do Not Call does not work, we need more options. It is ridiculous that these companies are more in control of my telephone than I am.

We have been inundated with unsolicited and unwanted spam calls for years. Last December, we switched our phone service to Time-Warner Cable, and our phones became digital. This meant we could use a robocall blocking service. We signed up with NoMoRobo, and now most of these calls are blocked (THANKS NOMOROBO). We get anywhere from a half-dozen to 20 or 30 calls per day, that are these spam calls. It is especially annoying when the Robot calls come in at 2, 3 or 4am. If you think this is an exaggeration, pull the phone records, and you'll find these calls.

NoMoRobo has been a godsend to us. Everyone should have access to such a service.

Are you conflicted between calling phone companies "common carriers" and not? You seem to be more on the side of "not" in recent years, based on the almost complete deregulation of phone and internet service. But if the are in fact NOT common carriers then there's absolutely no reason why they should not be allowed to offer robocall blocking. The technology exists, and works. Given the option, of course, the phone companies will charge for it - probably more than they do for unlisted numbers (which don't work any more). The only reason I can think of for disallowing it is if they are in fact common carriers and must accept and transmit anything presented to them. If that's the case, though, why are the otherwise deregulated? Common carrier implies that they have an obligation not only to move the messages but also to deal fairly with their customers - which implies some level of regulation. Think about it.

This happens each and every day and there needs to be a law to stop this. This is definitely an invasion of our privacy. We are in our home and feel it is the same as having a home invasion or break-in. No one should be allowed to do this to us.

We have many times kept a count of the calls in one day. Recently we had 16 telemarketing calls in one day! This is the most disturbing thing in our everyday life. We have had enough!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!!! Stop this harassment. I told one caller that we are on the Do Not Call list and we should not be called.

I strongly believe that it is a violation my constitutional right to privacy whenever my personal mobile device or home telephone is invaded by unauthorized robocalls from ANY organization, including public and private businesses, charities, research agencies, AND political candidates and their supporting organizations.

I pay for these services out of my own pocket, and therefore should have the right to decide who may or may not contact me by way of those services. Just as people do not have the right to walk into my home without being invited to do so, they also should not have the right to invade my privacy by means of electronic devices or telephones. This is particularly true during election times, when I often feel as if I am being harassed and under constant attack from the barrage of unwanted robocalls.

Because many robocallers use spoofing technology to display a fake company name and number, or to conceal their identities entirely, the standard methods of blocking unknown or unwanted callers do not serve as safeguards. Even if blocking the calls was possible, I also should not have to waste my time or money putting measures in place to avoid these unwanted invasions on my own telephone or mobile device.

The FCC needs to take action against robocalls so that the American people can exercise their right to privacy without fearing unwanted interruption from companies and organizations they have no interest in speaking with.

My telephone should ring when there is a legitimate emergency in my family, when a friend calls to wish me a happy birthday, when my doctor needs to give me test results, or when my gas company is contacting me about changes to my service. I do not need my phone lines cluttered up with sales calls, political advertisements, or other robotic phone calls. I'm a human being, and I should be called by a human being. Until the computers are running the show, keep them off my phone lines.

For the past year my family has been using the nomorobo call blocking service with great results. We can finally enjoy a peaceful meal and quiet time without all those unwanted call. Although we signed up for the Donotcall list we were still inundated with ridiculous interruptions from anonymous or private or unknown cell phone callers. Please allow services like nomorobo to be available to all. Caller ID is not enough!

I love NOMOROBO. One ring and it's over - I don't even have time to get upset. I'm 72 and I don't pay for phone service to have some worthless individual call my house repeatedly and not have the decency to leave a message on my machine. If I don't answer the first time or two these inconsiderate companies call, wouldn't you think these brainless people would get the idea I DON"T WANT TO TALK TO THEM. Also, if I was to answer why would I want to do business with someone who is so inconsiderate. PLEASE don't take this service away. It has made my life so much more pleasant It also feels good to feel I have some control over my privacy!!!! Thanks for your interest.

Although telemarketers may have the right to free speech, as a consumer I have the right to privacy on my own phone. If I want to prevent robocallers from calling, then that's my business, and I should be able to do so freely.

I prevent door-to-door solicitors from ringing my doorbell by putting up a "No Solicitors" sign, as they do not have a right to disturb me if I do not desire it. Technology to prevent robocalls is the equivalent of the "No Solicitors" sign.

Finally the NOMOROBO solution tor blocking unwanted robo calls has proven to be the most viable solution out there. It has virtually eliminated those nuisance and unwanted calls, something that I couldn't get with the federally sponsored no call list. It would be a tragedy to not allow NOMOROBO to provide this valuable service to the public.

We have been using Nomorobo for about 1 year now and it is truly a blessing. Instead of the phone ringing and ringing and ringing which is annoying, but not as annoying as answering the robocall, the phone rings once and that is all! We have been informing everyone in my neighborhood about robocall blocking by way of our local newsletter and several residents have taken the time to thank us for cluing them in. Robocall blocking is terrific for us, and is no worse for the "caller" since IF we ever answered the phone, we would be hanging up at our first opportunity anyway.

Robocalls have really become a nuisance in my home for my wife and me, both over 70 years old. Please do something to eliminate robocalls. Nomorobo.com has helped a lot by reducing the number of calls, but still the phone rings and I have to pause what I'm doing and see if it rings only once, meaning robocall.com has intercepted it before I go to the phone. And there are still many robocalls that don't get intercepted by robocall.com. Please put a stop to robocallers.

Please have workable solution to deal with telemarketers.

1. The "DoNotCall" registry does not work at all. Telemarketers are now rude and bold in their means to reach consumer eg., faking their caller Name/caller ID. They call anytime any day whenever they want, they are rude.

2. Spending money each month on telephone company so your number is not list, is just another scam. It does not stop the calls.

3. Asking telemarketers to remove your number, they would hang up on you while you were taling and the calls still keep coming.

4. I run out of blocked numbers very quickly as the same telemarketer just fake their number when they call

Nomorobo is the only most efficient way to stop most of them. Until there is a new law to deal with these telemarketers (scammers also use similar tactics to reach innocent and vulnurable consumers), we need product/service like NoMorobo to help protect us.

I am absolutely appalled that robot calls and unwanted calls are still occuring. I subscribed to norobo on my home phone to stop all the criminals that continuously continue to not follow the letter and the intent of the law. The same should be true for wireless devices where people pay for the air time by the minute. The Federal Trade Commission sponsored the contest that gave rise to nomorobo. Does the FCC work for another group of people who do not recognize the United States Government.. Funny I thought you were funded by the US Taxpayer. DO I need to contact my Representative to remove your funding because you ignore the wishe's of the majority of the electorate?

I was getting more than 20 robocalls per day before I started using Nomorobo. Now it is down to about 3. This is still unacceptable. I don't understand why the phone companies won't implement a robocall blocking solution. Effectively, I can't use my landline for incoming calls. I have to use caller id to try to determine if I should answer. This causes me to miss possibly important calls from my bank, credit card company and doctors. Also from family and friends who have private numbers. The construction industry is the absolute worst for ignoring the Do Not Call Registry. Please do something to solve the problem. Other than the fact that I need a phone for my job, I probably wouldn't even bother having one, since I have to pay to be abused. Robocallers are stealing my money and time.

All large phone companies can easily identify an outbreak of robocalls within minutes and could then stop them from reaching the phones of citizens if we choose to block them. If people love their robocalls then they would not have to opt out. Do this for the citizens of the nation. Comcast will be losing one more customer soon so that sleazy robocallers can proceed.

Nomorobo is providing a valuable service to old men like me -- (73) who are sick and tired of computer generated calls from crooks in India, the USA and Gods knows elsewhere. Their scams run from "your computer is infected with a virus -- we can fix this problem if you allow a screen sharing..." to -- "There has been a warrant issued for your arrest..." This came from someone with a thick East Indian accent. The only time they get through is if I answer the call before NoMoRobo has identified them as a "computer generated," call and cancels when there is no "caller ID.

I hate getting sales calls and annoying other calls that keep trying to get in touch with me when I don't want to be bothered. I have DO NOT CALL and still get many, many annoying calls that I don't want to get.

Yes, it's my phone and I should have some control to block calls from Companies I don't want to deal with so I hope the FCC will give the people the right to have robocall blocking products or robocalls for free. I am a senior, retired woman who doesn't like to be bothered day and night by stupid calls. Mostly I don't answer the phone unless I see a caller I know and want to talk to and then I answer the phone. Please FCC help the general public to have some relief. I have to shut my phone off at night so I can sleep in as I don't have to get up early. I think right now the law is calls can be made by 9:00 AM and until 9PM.

I understand some telephone carriers are claiming the law prohibits them from blocking any calls. Please say it isn't so. In any case, no one's actually asking them to block calls, just to allow the NomoRobo service to do so at the customer's request.

My own carrier, Comcast, has placed some ridiculous requirements on being able to use NomoRobo, which make it unavailable to most of their subscribers. Please make it clear that they must make this capability available to all their customers.

Consumers must be allowed to block annoying spam calls. I am so glad I found out about nomorobo. Before I installed it on my phone, I was repeatedly interrupted throughout my day (I work from home) by spam calls and telemarketers. I would not answer the phone, as I could see via caller ID that it was someone trying to sell me something. However, it would still interupt my work, and it was anoying to listen to the ringing phone, followed by the hangup tone when the caller got my answering machine. Now that I have nomorobo, I don't stop what I am doing to see who is calling. If it is spam or a telemarketer, the phone rings once and stops. Peace and quiet!

Our phone carrier only allows us to block up to 20 calls at a time. However, we receive multiple spam and robocalls trying to steal our identity and banking information on a regular basis. The use of a robcalling blocking option is a great help as this limits the number of spam and unsolicited calls that come in, even though we are on the National do not call list. Please make roboblocking a mandatory option with our local and long-distance phone carriers for both land lines and cell phones.

The ability to block robocalls is an essential consumer right that must be preserved. People must be able, in their own home, to determine what calls they do and do not wish to take. Robocall blocking performs essentially the same function as caller ID -- it just takes it to a higher level. The telephone companies, of course, do not want robocall blocking to become widely available, because it will adversely affect part of their client base, the robocalling firms; the residential telephone customer is of no importance to them in this regard.

Andrew Smith Arlington VA

I receive robocalls on a pretty much continuous basis. They routinely use spoofing. Why? because they know they will not be prosecuted. I recently received a call that my Caller ID identified as coming from my own phone. That's how blatant they have become. So:

1. It should be illegal to spoof Caller ID without a court order.

2. The penalties for spoofing should be large enough ($1000 per call) to actually discourage spoofing.

3. The penalties for robocalls also need to be similarly high.

4. There need to be much larger penalties for phone companies that aid and abbet these activities.

5. It should be possible to block ALL international calls.

If you insist on catering to telemarketers, why not have two kinds of phone numbers to offer citizens? How about phone numbers which are paid by individuals and are off limits to telemarketers. And phone numbers which are free to citizens, but are paid by telemarketers. Telemarketers would be allowed to call the latter as much as they want. Require all FCC employees, politicians, and telemarketers to have the free numbers as their home number. This is the best way to insure the telemarketers have not been denied their rights.

I have been using the NOMOROBO service for over one year and couldn't be happier. Before I started using the service we received robo calls on a daily basis several on may days. These were computer generated calls with no person on the other end just scams 99% of the time. Trying to stop the calls was impossible, the "opt out" never worked. These type calls are supposed to be illegal according to FCC regulations but continue unabated. Since we began using NOMOROBO the phone rings only once when it is a robo call. On average we still get several such calls every week but we know only calls we wish to receive actually get through.

Allowing the phone companies to decide which calls I receive is beyond ridiculous. I pay the phone company for service, I should decide which calls I answer not them. If the FCC thinks services such as NOMOROBO should be eliminated then let me route all of the unsolicited calls to your offices and you can answer them for me.

The FCC was the organization that initiated the contest to develop the technology to eliminate robo calls in the first place. Why is it now an issue that is even considered for elimination?

Or, that someone called to let him know that someone had broken into a house on his street (security company stating break-in statistics trying to sell security system). We have even received calls that bypass our caller ID by sending our own phone number to it so we don't know who is calling! We are on the Do Not Call Registry, but technology has passed it by. We should be able to decide who is allowed to call our homes on equipment that we pay for - equipment that is for our convenience - not companies with computers programmed to call thousands of households throughout the day and evening, for surveys, politics, or selling services or products we don't want or need. I think ALL phone carriers - landline or wireless - should allow us to opt- in to this if we want.

Unsolicited postal mail and emails are also a huge waste of time and energy, but at least they can be handled as and when convenient. Getting up and walking to a phone to get an unwanted sales call should be completely banned. Robocall blocking is at least one step in the right direction. I see no reason for these types of calls to be protected and any restriction to prevent as much blocking as possible would be a disservice to all.

Robot dialers and telemarketers intrude on our phone every day, *despite* our number being listed on the Do-Not-Call list.

When the phone rings, we want it to be a real person, not a scammer. After all, we're paying for the phone service, so we should have some say.

The phone companies haven't been on our side for as long as we've had phones. There's no reason to expect them to suddenly start looking out for our interests: after-the-ring filtering is the only way to keep them honest.

Fed up with the "intrusion" telemarketers have in our home and even at my place of business.

At home they are calling as early as 7:30 in the morning and my husband works nights and this is waking up. I now have to take our phone off the hook before I leave for work so that he is able to get his sleep to be ready for his next day at work. But if any emergency happens or I need to reach him cannot do because we are revolving our life around on how to avoid these people. The call into the evening, they call on weekends. Always the same thing of "energy saving offers" we ask to be removed, advise them we are on the "do not call" list. But we still get the calls. We are told there are several of these companies so we can talk til we are blue in the face it is never with the same company. Than the rudeness that come from them when you tell them you are not interested and to be removed in deplorable. Than some more fun starts of crank calling. Phone ringing and they hang up when you answer at all hours...we know it is them. Their number does not show up on caller id. You can not *69 to return a call. And if you try to ask for a supervisor, they just hang up. We have no information as to who they are, we have gotten their names and numbers and registered them but again to many so it becomes a full time job for what.....for us to simply not to be called and bothered? We have no informatin on them, but they have a very important piece of information on us that they can be very vindictive with and make our lives a LIVING HELL! And they do.

I remember when 900 numbers came out in the 80's and kids were calling it racking up huge phone bills for their parents not realizing what they were all about. The phone company was offering for people to "pay" for a blocking feature on their phone so that these numbers would not be able to be called from their numbers. I always felt that why should we pay for something that we never solicited for to begin with. But if we wanted the "luxury" of being able to call those 900 #'s you can pay to put it on your phone to BE able to call those numbers. Let's do the same for the solicitors, if you want to here from them, pay the phone company and allow it.

But if you want to try to stop these intrusions, you can pay the phone company $8.00 here and $8.00 there and rack your bill up to get some peace and quiet, but remember you may still get a ring or two on your phone before the number is determined by the phone company that it is a telemarketer calling, therefore waking you up in the house at that 7:30 in the morning when they call and that is suppose to make us happy and feel like we got the upper hand on stopping them. There is no stopping them because they have more power than any of us because they have our number but we don't have theirs.

So what do we have to do to get our peace back and not fret every time our own phone rings? If it will stop this at home and work I WILL DO IT. I'm already jumping through hoops trying to avoid them and stop them from calling....but if you can do something I will jump through your hoops.

Every phone company AT&T, Optimum, Charter, Verizon allows you to block calls on their network. The federal no call list does not stop annoying calls. Nomorobo is a service I elect to use to block calls that cost me time & money. I have a right to the pursuit of happiness which means avoiding intrusive, unstoppable interruptions that I elect not to receive. Please do not stop nomorobo from providing me with a tech solution to a problem the FCC is not able to stop (incessant un welcomed computer generated calling.

I think it is ridiculous that political and other organizations have found a "legal loop hole" in the National Do Not Call Registry. What I find more disturbing is that the FCC and other Government Agencies feel that it's appropriate to allow such a loop hole to continue existence. I do not want to receive calls from unknown parties, that's why my number is unlisted. Yet you allow my unlisted number to be shared with whomever wants it.

It's time you made unsolicited, unwanted, unwarranted and cold calling illegal. Why does my privacy have to be invaded when I am trying to restrict calls as such.

For my money, robocalls are a nuisance and constant distraction. My wife teaches music in our home and robocalls disturb the teaching sessions. I have had robocall blocking for several months, now and it is a godsend. Robocalls generate 1 ring and no more. That is not enough to disturb a music lesson. Robocall blocking should be available to the entire nation. We consumers pay for the convenience of a landline and should be able to block nuisance calls, Robocall blocking still lets through a lot of calls from charities, political calling and small commercial operations. Those are enough.

I am so irritated with robocalls that I'd like to scream and cuss (not my usual demeanor). The Do Not Call List is nothing but a joke, so thank God for services such as Nomorobo. It is able to stop 8-10 calls a day and I wish it could stop others that somehow manage to get through. There is no way for me to individually block these calls, because the same company is able to change their numbers on a regular basis. A company from California can even make it look like it is a local call.

Please, please make it easy for the ordinary consumer to block robocalls.

I wonder if you have an 88 year old parent with Alzheimer's that you care for 24/7/365. I do, so when a robocaller ringing my phone multiple times in the morning wakes her up before I wake her up after a late night dealing with her, it is pretty aggravating. So far today, she has been awakened from two nap sessions by the phone. Guess who was calling? I beg you, allow me to have a telephone so I can call 911 when my mother requires help, while still having control over who calls my telephone. Please allow me to totally block robocallers without having to jump through multiple hoops to do so. How does their right to use the phone line *I* pay for supersede my right to manage the phone line for which I pay? I just don't get why their rights are more important than mine, and those of my mother. If they want to advertise, they can pay for a newspaper or internet ad, but they need to stop dialing MY phone.

Bossy Dave at number 646-389-6932. Never leaves a message and I do not recognize this name or number. Calls were received on:

12/16 8:00 AM 12/17 9:32AM 12/18 8:02AM 12/19 1:10PM 12/20 8:02 AM 12/21 11:47AM 12/22. 8:37AM 12/23 11:43AM 12/26 11:19AM 12/27. 11:23AM 12/28. 3:21PM 12/29 8:37AM 12/30 9:57AM 1/2/15 10:54AM 1/3/15 11:36AM 1/5/15 8:00M Other calls have come from: 800-942-1970 855-284-4824 855-284-3980 855-285-4869 855-284-4823 202-599-8715 239-257-8945 360-633-9072

The constant annoyance of robocalls have forced many of us to become call monitors in our own homes. The same companies may call up to 4 or 5 times per day, and at very inconvenient times. Chances are, if you leave me a message on my answering machine, and I don't call you back, then I don't wish to speak to you. Day after day, the same calls come in. Fortunately I have the capability to block a limited number of calls, which may be the only reason I still have some sanity.

Please allow these calls to be blocked. Thank you.

Fully 80 percent of the calls I get on my home phone are some form of robocall. Many - or really most - of them are not identifiable as to the source or even the real number that the call was made from. This factor, as well as the camouflage caller IDs, demonstrate blatant deception and disregard for the public. We need an effective way to stop them.

So far, Nomorobo is the closest thing to a solution that I've found. My iPhone blocks specified numbers. It should be that simple with a home phone. But that would require the FCC to prevent the range of deceptions used to disguise robocalling numbers.

WE WANT ROBO CALLS ABLE TO BE BLOCKED FROM OUR PHONES, HOME & CELL !!!!

I am weary of all the robo calls that come into my phone every day every month. I have found some solutions to this some work some don't. During the last election the political calls were the worst offenders. The politicians have conveniently exempted themselves from being affected by the Do Not Call list. And the Do Not Call list means absolutely nothing to the Robo scam calls that I get all the time. These criminals could care less. I would ask that the FCC do something to help in controlling these nuisance calls. I do not pay to have telephone service to have these people harass me daily.

We were very tired of the endless robo phone calls that start at 8 am and continued until 9 PM or later. On a few occasions over the years, we were on a limited plan of 60 calls a month and some months we had to pay extra because of the nonstop calls. About a year ago we began using NOMOROBO with our Verizon digital phone service. Nomorobo solved this annoying, disruptive and intrusive problem immediately. Please do not take this away from us. If you do, we will be forced to disconnect our phone service. Thank you for considering our concerns.

I want to have control of blocking unwanted calls. I am in my 70's and it is very disturbing receiving these calls. They call at all times of the day and half the time no one answers when you do pick up. They then call back 5 minutes later. I have had as many as 9 calls a day from the same number with no one answering. I have rushed out of the bathroom, hurried up the cellar stairs and actually fell once to get to a robocall. A lot of the calls are trying to scam me. Telling me I have won an ALERT system, or airline tickets. It is a good thing that I can still think clearly. I feel sorry for the elderly that fall for these scams. I have had peace of mind since I got nomorobo. It has reduced these calls by about 80%. Please don't deny me my rights. My only other solution would be to keep my phone off the hook and THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.

As a self-employed writer who works from home, I require quiet and the lack of intrusion of unwanted, unsolicited calls, yet want an open phone line for calls from people with whom I need to speak. Turning my phone off is not an option. In addition, robo-calls that come in during mealtimes, into the evening and on weekends have become nuisances and outright offensive intrusions.

Without the privacy once afforded citizens prior to the internet and a common telephone presence in the home, there was a sense of personal privacy respected and even coveted from the government. Over time, that respect has disappeared and been replaced by tacit acceptance on the part of the government and law enforcement of the erosion of personal rights and dignity. What is now coveted is the rights of commercial concerns and I want this to stop!

Please give us the right to say 'NO!' to unwanted and offensive intrusions into our homes and lives by robocallers and commercial concerns.

I would love to block robocalls. Everyday for the past three months I have received a call about lowering my credit card rates. At first I just hung up and promptly received the same call again. I started tracking the phone number but after two or three days the number changed even though the call was the same. Then I started pressing three (3) to stop receiving the calls. They still came twice a day. Then I did a call back and when I asked about which credit card they were calling about I was hung up on. That same call came from a car dealer no longer in business according to my caller ID. I even did a call back and got a message that the number was no longer in service. This same call has come from at least 9 different numbers according to my caller ID. I couldn't call about harassing calls because the number changed frequently. Every time I got two calls--the second immediately following my hang up with the first. I eventually decided not to answer the phone. Then I had to listen to the message on the answering machine. Because the calls were a recorded message they always went to the answering machine. What a waste of my time. I wasn't interested day 1 and am still not interested day 63

Apparently, being on the "do not call" list means nothing in the world of robocalls. I get at least one and sometimes as many as six a day. NONE of them are for anything I want. I would not buy from someone calling me out of the blue anyway.

The calls drive me nuts, especially when I make an effort to get to them from another room. They are not good for my blood pressure. I have tried ringing through and asking to be taken off their lists. I have clicked on the # they give to be taken off their list. It does no good. I continue to get calls from these jerks.

If you can block them, you have an obligation to do so. These people are stealing our time and, in the case of our mobile phones, are using up our minutes. Please remove this scourge from the people of the U.S.

Eileen Reisterstown, MD

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 1486 of 5002

Robocalls and any marketing call without my consent is an invasion of privacy of the worst kind. They are entering my domain by simply having equipment that randomly call numbers until they get a hit. There is a huge difference between a consensual conversation and that of being attacked in the middle of dinner or EVERY single afternoon. If you then listen to what they have to sell, there is absolutely nothing on offer but more often than not scams from some random call center. No strategy, no special product, nothing but scams. On this basis, the phone line should be free, like listening to radio or watching free tv by ploughing through the adverts.

The phone line should have the option of opting out of listening to garbage, or have a way by which to block. TWC does, but only up to 30 numbers.

BTW, you should also know that apparently when you switch carriers, like we did from Verizon (after 10 years) and port your number, they (Verizon) then sell your details to third parties. That is the most ridicolous business model ever and is truly a stab in the back. The bad and frequent calls began about one month after porting my number to TWC. It is criminal.

I know that this model has existed for decades in marketing but it is nevertheless criminal and an invasion of my privacy.

I know that when porting one should also do a re-registration of ones number at the FCC. I have done this before and after; to no avail. The call centers don't care, but you end up answering phones from scammers. This is not what I pay to a service company. Do you pay to your electric company only to receive constant brown-outs or constant electricity??? Phone companies are a utility, nothing more. Not a company that should be allowed to sell my private contact details, if that is what they are doing. Nor should they open up the service line to people I do not wish to hear from. While there is this argument that marketing calls are OK and is a right for companies to engage in. With consent yes, but in the absence of consent absolutely no way. The choice should be mine and not theirs. If I am the buyer, which I am, I should have the choice.

On a separate note, while TWC allows for some blocking, some callers use digits that are xxx-1xx-xxxx. The number one one the prefix is not allowed for blocking purposes so you end up with the same thing. You have to become a technician to protect yourself from the onslaught of BS.

Phone companies don't rovide a service, but rather a complication which is why people are switching to just mobile phones.

Good Luck.

Averaging nearly 4 robocalls per day. Even blocking those numbers doesn't stop them as I receive the same calls from another different number the next time they call. They must have banks of numbers to originate their nuisance calls.

I am so tired of this waste of time and energy.

I use Nomorobo and it is great. We are plagued by non-stop calls from these robo-calls, including con artists as well as "legitimate". It is essential to have an easy way to have them blocked as they are not just a nuisance, many are illegal cons.

Please make these blocking services easier to access for everyone.

The robo calls we have experienced have ranged from the regular telemarketing stuff, which is bad enough, to illegal scams and phishing exhibitions from outside the US. I have received multiple calls almost daily(sometimes 2 or 3 in one day) for two or three weeks from the infamous "Windows Support" scammers and also the recorded messages from "The IRS" telling me to call a foreign number because I am being sued. They stop for awhile and then start all over again. Are we just supposed to put up with this?

I strongly urge you to require all phone companies to make robocall blocking easily available and effective. Robocalls are a nuisance to every phone line subscriber and both land and cell line subscribers are negatively impacted by these calls. Even if your line is on the do not call list, you receive the aggravation of these anonymous and harassing calls. We pay for our phones and we should be able to decide if there are calls that we do not want to receive. Your assistance in making this happen is imperative. An option that you may also consider is making robocalls illegal. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

In the same way that the USA promotes the freedom of the press, It must also provide its citizens the freedom to decide what access he or she wishes to extend to unknown third-parties to communicate with them.

Giving protection and open access to robocallers would be the same as licencing and protecting stalkers from harassing these same citizens.

During the pre-election period, I would receive at least 3-5 RoboCalls per day sometimes from the party that I am not affiliated. One call left a return number and I spoke directly with the organizer of the event and advised him that not only was I not a Republican, but that I was on the Federal Do Not Call Register. I requested for them to Cease and Desist from calling me in the future and requested that my name and number be removed from their call list.

The home phone in our house is used rather rarely. It is mostly as an emergency point of contact and as a secondary phone for my three teenagers who have a tendency to lose/break/fail to charge their cell phones. But the phone rings a dozen times a day or more. These calls are unsolicited telemarketing and charity companies using robocalling techniques to make a living. Although I don't begrudge them a living, they do not allow me to tell them I have no interest in their calls. And there is no way to tell them to leave us alone - even answering seems to cause more calls. Since these overzealous and unscrupulous sales companies don't seem to care about the government no call list or have found loopholes to get around the prohibitions, I should have the right to use a service that will block these calls. I have considered canceling my land line service but realize that if enough land lines are cancelled, cell phones will be the next target. Please give us, the people of this country, the tools we need to say no to these intrusions.

I receive probably 1-3 robocalls per day, nearly every day. I am able to use blocking for my home phone, for now at least, but cannot do anything about the robocalls that I receive on both my personal and work cellular phones. Robocalls have gotten extremely out of hand & anything and EVERYTHING that is available to stop these (especially the scam calls that the FTC and others are always "investigating" but never solving/stopping) should be not only available, but mandatorily available for use by anyone who wishes to use it.

Robo calls are a serious inconvenience for myself and my family. They disrupt the precious time that we try to spend together. Before Nomorobo we experienced 5 or 6 robo calls per day. No company should have the right to interrupt our family's time, especially that often! Please help save the American Family by allowing us to block these annoying and unwanted calls. I also request assistance in eliminating these calls altogether.

I am tired of the robo calls I receive. The majority of these calls are allegedly from Microsoft telling me I have a virus on my computer. I repeatedly tell them I do not and not to call again. Within an hour I get another call from another "Microsoft" caller. It does not matter how many times I tell them not to call, they inevitably do. I do not want solicitors, politicians, or robo calls invading my privacy. Do you appreciate your family time, dinner time, or work time interrupted by these nuisance calls? Well, neither do I.

I receive tons of calls that run the gamete from money lending companies to audiologists and everything else in between. They come from all over the U.S.. Even though I placed my phone number on the "Do Not Call List" these businesses have chosen to ignore it. Some calls come through telling me that they are calling with the information I requested. I acquired Nomorobo to help cut off some of these calls and they do a great job. They have made the supper hour and weekends a lot less aggravating. The phone companies have no right to tell people that they can't eliminate these annoying calls. Life, in general, is crazy enough and we should at least have control over own phone.

I believe that each an every individual who has a landline or cell phone should be able to block telemarketers from calling them. I receive numerous phone callls each week soliciting etc and they never remove your number as stated plus if you do block a numberr they call back on another extension. I dont know how they get our numbers or info but they do and when i try i cant get it so go figure. one company and person from fla went so far as to curse me out, others simply hang up when they call because they have other calls going an the first to answer but when they find out that you dont want the item or not interested they dont even bother to say sorry or goodbye which says that they should have no rights and if your on the do not call list it is to no avail as that doesnt stop them or the list does nothing to stop them becasuse i have reported them there also. billy sharp lancaster, ky

If I block one number they use a different number next time. My phone plan allows a fixed amount of time at a flat rate for me to use incoming and outgoing calls.

Up until about three months ago, I received about 20 unsolicited, robo/telemarketer calls per week. My number is unlisted and I am on the Do Not Call Registry for a reason ... I do not want unsolicited, robo/telemarketer calls. After picking up the calls and politely declining services offered, callers would become more aggressive and occasionally hostile. Even asking them to remove my name from their call list went ignored because I kept receiving calls from the same company. These people are unethical and unrelenting. My name on the Do Not Call Registry is meaningless to these people. I finally resorted to letting all unrecognized caller numbers go to my answering machine for screening. nomorobo has provided me with peace of mind by eliminating at least 80% of these calls. It is a free, welcomed service that looks out for consumers. If telephone companies were truly concerned about our welfare, they would welcome this kind of service.

No matter how many times I ask them to not call me and tell them I am on the do not call list, it does no good. They hang up on me and continue to call back. I believe they just switch to call me from a new number, because the number is different but the messages are all the same. They are using the do not call list to actually get numbers to call.

NOMOROBO is my savior. I think that they are my hero as far as my home phone is concerned. This solution works, unlike the "Do Not Call List" which all of the robo callers ignore and continue to call me. I am a voter. If you do not let a working solution in and don't mess with a solution that works then remember that I vote.

I live alone and I receive telemarketing calls that hang up after I answer and then usually call back again and again, It is unnerving for a senior citizen to be stalked like this- how do I know that there is not someone collecting information on my schedule or outside my home checking to see if the house is empty? The calls come at all hours of the day- disrupting my sleep. Right now I can block them. I never buy anything from a telemarketer at my door or on the phone, Robonomo has made it easier for me to stop many of these calls.

I have been on Federal and STate "do not call" lists for a few years - not that it does any good.

Robocalls are an entirely unwelcome and almost unstoppable intrusion into my life. Some of these callers call many times a day, I have one at present, RCI who call around 25 times a week.

Robocall blocking technology is my choice - it is generally effective, it allows me to concentrate and saves me losing my temper telling incessant callers to take me off their lists, not to call - all of which they ignore.

Robocalls are a menace and now it's starting on cellphones. The FCC needs to either do a better job of managing these callers - or allow RoboCall blocking technologies to be used.

As they should be, robo and telemarketing calls are supposed to be illegal. The problem is, companies and criminals alike, scoff at the law since it has no teeth. They continue to harass MILLIONS of people daily. They spoof called ID's to get through anonymous call blocking, and blatantly IGNORE the Do Not Call Registry. They continue to trespass into our homes, interrupting meal times or sleep with no regard for others. If I put a "NO SOLICITING" sign on my front door, people are obligated to obey that. Why should telephones be allowed to be any different? MY sign IS up, I am on the Do Not Call list, why do we continue to be subject to this harassment? Track down and CONVICT these people. If they showed up on my front porch after being told not to by a sign, they would be subject to arrest for trespassing.

I still have a cell phone plan that has a voice limit each month. It used to be that cell phones were off limits to telemarketers and robocallers but that was a thing of the past. These people call me all day long at times interrupting meetings and other important tasks frequently. Not to mention, sometimes they use my minutes if I'm expecting a call but don't recognize the number and end up answering. This ends up costing me money. You've already made it possible to put my number on the do not call list but that is ineffective these days as robocallers can't be found. Since there is no discovery mechanism to catch these robocallers then the consumer should be able to block them. Thank you for your time.

Right before I turned 65, I started received 10 to 15 phone calls a day from a host of very concerned phone banks regarding my Medicare selections. They would call from early in the morning until as close to 9 pm as possible. All these calls made me miserable. I discovered a way to block these calls - enrolling in the Federal NOCALL list - which helped a little; and by using Nomorobo which has helped a lot. Activating Nomorobo means that now I only have to listen to 1 ring at most from the majority of these pests before they are blocked by Nomorobo. It was my decision to reduce these annoying and totally unnecessary interruptions to my life just as I decide to use the television mute button to stop the similarly annoying television commercials on cable TV. I pay for both cable television and my telephone service and wish to exercise my right to use my services as I see fit with the minimum of invasive and unsolicited interruptions from robocalls. Imagine telling me that I can't use my mute button to block television commercials! Robocall blocking prevents these nuisances from disturbing the peace and harmony of my home and has the added benefit of helping maintain my blood pressure! Thank you.

There have been no instances of a real phone number being accidentally blocked and I only wish I could figure out a way to block politicians using this very useful service.

Until the FCC can actually figure out a way to stop these annoying and infuriating robocalls nomorobo is the answer...I wonder how much cash telecoms bleed off of the services the scammers are using? it's the only reason I can think of why they would want to stop people from blocking robocalls.

I receive four to five robocalls a day. I report these faithfully, since I have been on the National "No Call" list since its inception. Many of these are simply hangups (prospecting for "live" numbers?). Others offer Medicare scams, "Free" alarm systems, and the like.

Since I carry a common name, I'm frequently called about my "college loans." Good luck with that. I graduated in 1964! I also paid cash! I get these calls despite using both hardware and software call blockers. It is past time that all telephone customers have access to these tools.

I am sick and tired of getting robo spam calls. I am on the Do not Call list and it only makes legitimate companies stop. But the spam callers are only interested in scamming and making money.

I use a robocall blocking software to minimize phone interruption. It works when a caller calls with a number I don't recognize and I check the number on the web and if it is a known scammer, it will block the call. Of course scammers will spoof the number to a different one and the process repeats.

It should be illegal for any average joe to spoof caller ID. It makes it impossible to track down these criminals. There is no teeth with the Do Not Call list violators.

Something has to be done to stop the robocalls!

Computer dialed calls (robocalls) are huge invasion of privacy. They are an unwarranted and unwanted intrusion. Private citizens must have the right to control access to their own phone. The phone represents an entry point into my home and I should have the ability to manage who has the right of access. The ability to identify and block robocalls has been a relief and a blessing and it must be my right to use such a product if desired. Others should have right to not block if they don't want to. The choice should be under my control.

For the past four years, I've been dealing with at least one robocall from scammers every single day. The month before elections, I will get four or five robocalls from politicians running for reelection. The calls come any time, day or night. It got so bad that during the last election I told the republican candidate that I would vote for whoever called my house the least. The scammers have used our number and my relatives phone numbers to spoof call us. We have had a our phone company block about twenty-four of the numbers the scammers have used, but that only gives us a few days of peace and quiet at the most. The scammers just turn around and used another fake phone number. Please FCC, do something about those robocalls. I can't imagine how much money these con artists have gotten off of people. What they're doing is harassment and possibly fraud.

I am against ALL non-paid robocalls and yes that does include political calls and political fund raising calls and every sheriff's benevolent association know to mankind.

Now, paid robocalls are a different story. It those that make the robocalls are willing to pay say $3.00 to the holder of every number they call, then put it in the law. If you call my number and you are not on my white list, you contribute $3.00 towards my AT&T phone bill. Any amount over the normal bill goes into my pocket.

The bottom line: I pay for the use of my phone to be able to call those that I have a bonified personal reason to call. Other than that, I have zero use for any robo/politico/fund-raising call. Period.

Please require all of the phone companies to allow the blocking of robocalls. The Federal and State "do not call" registrations are not working as advertised. Presently, I can block robocalls with my AT&T provider; however, I also have Verizon as a provider which does not support blocking robo calls. I want robo calls blocked. Do your job, and require all of the phone companies to comply -- no exceptions.

Thank you.

I urge you to consider my strong opinion that robocall and similar call blocking products continue to be made available to the public.

For months my family endured the continuous bombardment of these automated calls. I put our line on a do-not-call list but it did not help. I also attempted several times to answer these calls, and was always greeted with a hang up. Since putting the nomorobo feature on our line, we have regained our peace at home. This is everyone's right.

Please help to eliminate RoboCalls as the first real step to get rid of all the unsolicited calls that we all receive on a daily basis. We have been battling cancer and there are other important events that make it important for us to answer unknown calls just in case it is important. Often we have to stop important chores to answer junk calls or at the very least check the Caller ID only to find nobody on the line or a recording trying to sell us what we don't need. The Do Not Call List is a joke and does not help one bit. This more than just a pet peeve, it is an encroachment into our rights and sets back modern advancements... it is an annoyance and hinders the completion of actual important matters. Why should we have to put up with unsolicited annoyances? We should have the right to eliminated unwanted calls and receive only the calls that we want or that mean something to us. These people call multiple times and most times don't even have the decency to respond to those that stop what they are doing to answer in hopes it is a call that is important or wanted. You have it in your power to eliminate these... please grab the bull by the horns and help your constituents. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I am retired and home a great deal. Having the ability to block robocall shas greatly enhanced my life. So many of the unwanted phone calls I received before getting nomorobo were time consuming and certainly unwanted. I was on a do-not-call list, but that didn't seem to help at all.

Robo calls have become an increasing daily annoyance. Even though I'm on the federal do not call registry, unscrupulous telemarketers flout the law and pester me with calls.

Robocalls are really frustrating especially to those of us who are full time caregivers or anyone who needs quiet unless there's a real need to call me. Some robocallers call multiple times in the same day and several times a week. The most annoying are the "reduce your credit card rate" that call over and over and over. And so many robocallers now use FAKE caller ID's to try to get us to pick up the phone.

We DESPERATELY need to get them blocked on our cell phones since some of us do not have unlimited plans.

I am so sick of robotic calls that I changed my phone number after 28 years; it cost me $25 to change it and $2 every month to be unlisted! We also used the FCC Do Not Call Registry and it helped very little; we renewed it after 4 years but the callers ignore it. We reported the violations on the FCC website to no avail. We went to our phone provider and blocked some of the numbers, but the solicitors just change one digit and keep calling.

With NoMoRobo our evenings are now peacefully quiet, except for the occasional "one ring" that we verify is always a call that we do not want.

I got a phone line so that I could make and receive calls with friends and family. Instead almost 99% of all incoming calls are from annoying and unwelcome robocalls. I'm not a masochist so why should pay for a service that gives nameless and obnoxious entities the means to continuously harass me? Robocall blocking is the only solution to maintaining my sanity against the onslaught of all the unwanted robocalls I receive. Thank you.

Robocalls are offensive and annoying. I currently have a robocall blocking program that I love. Nomorobo blocks all spam phone calls. The phone will ring once, which I'm okay with, and then the call is blocked. It blocks at least half a dozen per day. I would consider getting rid of my land line phone if these services were not available. It should not be legal for these calls to be placed when they are not wanted.

Robo calls now outnumber calls from people I know. They are a huge nusience. But if you are human, you already know as they call you as well.

I have tried many ways to block their calls to little or no success. I use the Do not call list but they just ignore that. Because they are un-identifiable I cannot contact them of file a complaint against them.

Allow me to block them and enforce some method to reduce anonymous phone calls. Give us some way to defend ourselves.

I have had my phone number registered in the "Do Not Call" website since it was started. What a waste. Before I started using Nomorobo, I was receiving 2 to 3 calls per day from telemarketers. Most of these calls were from contractors selling home remodeling and solar power. I don't need remodeling and I already have solar. I have now started having the same problem with my cell phone.

I'm a busy mother of a 2 and 4 year old, and also work from home. My household had been receiving up to twenty, yes twenty, solicitation calls a day, mostly from solar energy companies. You can imagine the time spent dealing with this, not to mention the stress of my phone rining all day long. Since installing Nomorobo, these calls have been blocked and it has improved my quality of life tremendously. No one should have to endure unwwelcome intruders in their home.

We use nomorobo through Time Warner Cable to block robocalls. But, as good as nomorobo is, we still have some robocalls that slip through to our home phone everyday. The volume had been anywhere from 1 to 10 robocalls everyday. So, we bought a blackbox that connects before our phone and we can program up to 1,000 phone numbers to be disconnected after the first ring. This technique has been very powerful at reducing roboccalls that slip through to now 1 to 3 a day. TWC also allows us to selectively block up to 30 phone numbers before they get to our home. This limit is too low, it should be several hundred. Because it is limited to 30 phone numbers, we use the TWC selective blocking strictly for robocalls that come over and over again. So, if you got my message, we are using three (3) resources to block robocalls and yet we still get a dew new robocalls everyday. The FFC must do something more serious this time around to kill robocalls, and that system has to be easy for consumers to use. In case you are not aware, the government's "donotcall.gov" program is totally ineffective. Callers from businesses don't care, and criminals calling certain careless even more so.

I am tired of automated dialers and either missing or forged (spoofed) callerID. I do not understand why that isn't illegal. Also, there should be a person on the line at the time I pickup..not up to 10secs later when the system either realizes I answered and/or an operator freed up. Predictive systems make many mistakes.

We are already able to block anonymous and private-callerID calls so why shouldn't we be allowed to block robotic calls?

There is NO technical reason robotic calls cannot be blocked. If the phone companies claim this, its false.

My next step will be to disconnect my land line. Currently my cell phone ONLY allows callers that are in my directory list. If they are not, they are diverted to voicemail. This way if a call is legit, fine. If it's a robot call, there is never a message left. Amazing.

Although we have repeatedly signed up for every Do No Call list (State and Federal -- on home and cell phones), We continue to receive calls. If you ask why they call when we have signed up for Do Not Call lists, the call is disconnected. It is also very annoying when you answer the phone and there is a delay and then you realize that the call was automatically dialed. We have made every effort to notify all parties that we do not want to receive calls -- not for political purposes, research, or for any type of advertising. Our phones are private and for personal use. We recently signed up for No More Robocalls and have been thrilled with the service. We used to receive at least 3 calls a day, sometimes 5, and during political campaigns 10. Now we only hear the phone ring once and are very happy when it doesn't ring a second time. Our time is valuable and constant interruptions are very annoying. Robocalls should not be permitted.

Allowing unsolicited calls on personal & business lines is intrusive. Just as communities prevent solicitation in their neighborhoods, we should be able to prevent random people from calling and disturbing us.

Further, the greatest amount of fraud, scams, and con artists targeting the elderly come through the phone lines. Allowing these people to profit by conning the elderly or uninformed, is embarrassing for a nation such as ours.

Lastly, leaving loopholes and avenues for other entities is unacceptable - to include political and charity groups. If an individual wishes to "opt in" then that should be recognized but as the exception rather than the rule.

Social media entities such as Facebook and Google are routinely criticised and even chastised but Congress for publishing private info by default... Why do we allow our own government to do so?

This is a very simple decision...I the callers pay for my phone service then they have the right to call me. At this time I pay for my phone service and I do not want anyone to call me that is not a friend or someone I have requested to call me by giving them my number personally. I have found not one honest anonymous caller. By honest I mean someone not tainted with profit as their motive for calling me...and robo calling is the ultimate impersonal insult.

I am sure none of the commissioners like getting robo calls so they should treat the rest of the citizenry with the same respect.

I joined Noborobo several months ago and I love it! No more intrusive calls into my house at the most inconvenient times. I no longer rush to the phone just to find out that it is no one I really wish to talk to anyway. The phone rings once or twice and then stops, therefore no need to jump up from the dinner table to see who is calling. If anyone really wants to talk to me, they will leave a message and I will call them back. These other people do not leave messages anyway.

My family is tired of receiving phone calls in excess of several hundred calls since March 2014. These are totally unsolicited and unwanted. A majority of these calls are during the dinner hours of 5-7:30 p.m. at night. When I have attempted to request some of the the callers' supervisors, I have been emphatically told "No." I have been treated with disrespect. I can't understand some of the English that some callers are using. And, most of these calls are on "burner cells;" and, there is no return number available on some calls. Or, when you try to return the call, the message is that the number has expired, been disconnected, etc. The "Do Not Call" function is useless (and a joke). Please give us the information that we need to stop this invasion of our privacy. Not tomorrow, but today.

The right to be left unannoyed by the kinds of calls that the Nomorobo product "defeats" is fundamental to anyone's right of privacy and it is unconscionable that you would even consider an argument that allows these kinds of unsolicited interruptions. Speaking from personal experience, the joy of watching numerous "junk" callers disappear from my phone thanks to Nomorobo is nearly indescribable. Do NOT allow the carriers to avoid doing their job which is to serve their customers by providing these kinds of solutions.

I currently receive almost all my land line calls from telemarkers. It's abusive and until Nomorobo, I was planning to give up my two landlines and just use cell phones.

Nomorobo is doing something that the government and certainly our carriers, eg Time Warner should be doing. Time Warner only allows me to block 30 numbers. I get more than 30 unwanted robo calls a week.

Please keep Nomorobo operating and help them do the job that they are doing.

Thanks to Nomorobo, our home phone now receives no annoyance calls from solicitors and other robot call users. Every time I here the one ring followed by silence I know another call has been canceled.

The pity of it is that what should be stopped is the robot calls not the solution to eliminating them. That the FCC even allows annoying robot calls is appalling. The FCC should work for the greater good, allowing any robot calls is not for the greater good, but rather giving in to special interest groups that probably have a lot of money for supporting politicians. America at it's best. Don't you just love it.

I receive more than 10 junk, robocalls, on average every single day. Services like Nomorobo are invaluable since they block these often bogus nuisance calls. Telephone marketers and others who utilize robocalls simply ignore the government's Do Not Call List. ALL my phone lines are registered with Do Not Call, and yet the robocalls only increased over the years. Nomorobo is one of the few services that offers some respite. I find it reprehensible that I can only utilize the service on one of my four phone lines. Please do your job! Protect the consumer, not the phone companies who oppose this service. I can only surmise that their opposition to this is because they receive revenue for every robocall that goes through.

I greatly appreciate the service by Nomorobo! We have caller ID and therefore would simply not answer calls that weren't from family and friends. That worked except our answering machine was getting filled up each evening. We wouldn't even listen to the messages. We would just cycle through and delete them. Now we get just get a few messages left per week. The service is wonderful! We just discovered the service a few months ago. Please don't take it away. If people don't want it they can forego it but I can't help but think there is a far greater number of people who want the service but can't get it or don't know about it. I'm sure the list of numbers on the national Do Not Call list is several times longer than the list of subscribers of robocall blocking products.

What would possibly motivate anyone to think owners of a phone would want to receive endless robocalls. Well, perhaps the phone company can only charge a robot caller if the targets phone rings more than once. Aw, what a shame the poor phone company is losing money when robocalls are blocked after one ring. Perhaps I really would appreciate receiving 5-10 or more per day of pointless annoying distracting irritating sales calls for useless overpriced services and junk that I don't need or want. But then who wouldn't enjoy having their day distracted by such calls?

One call passed me to a person - I planned to ask them to stop calling. He began with "Do you own a computer? What kind?" Seriously?? I expressed my irritation with these robo-calls with "I'm fed up with these calls." He said "so you are frustrated." I said, 'Yes, fed up means I'm frustrated." He replied: "You need more sex." Do I have to put up with this from strangers who are trying to sell something.

These calls are violating my home and wasting my time. Many are scams and take advantage of people. If the telephone companies are against stopping robo-calls, who do they think pays them for the service? So they are supporting these thieves and scam artists instead of their customers? It is my phone, my home and I pay to have the phone activated for my convenience - not to receive calls that are total BS. If you don't agree, let me have your home phone number and let me call you with a great deal.

Support Nomorobo call service.

I signed up with NOROBO several months ago because I was getting way to many unwanted calls from various vendors. Previously I had registered my phone with DONOTCALL and that did not work. I loged unwanted cals from March 2013 to August 2014. I submitted many complaints to DONOTCALL without any responce or help. I even sent a copy of this log to the FCC again without any action.

I pay for phone service and I have every right to stop unwanted calls and only NOROBO has been successfull. My phone is not a marketing tool and is not open to every Tom Dick & Harry.

Your robocall laws aren't working. I get three to four a day despite being on the "do not call" list. They are not from companies that I have done business with and so I use a software to block them. I should be allowed to control the telephone calls that are disturbing my peace and quiet. I pay a LOT of money to AT&T for their services, but I am not paying to answer calls I did NOT solicit. Robocall clocking products are essential for me to conduct business and to have some peace of mine.

We hate the robocalls we get. They are intrusive and annoying. Our phone company only allows us to block 10 phone numbers. That does begin to cover how many phone numbers make robocalls. Most are computers calls so there is no telling them you are on the Federal Do Not Call List. Even the calls with people making them do not care if you are on the Federal Do Not Call List. They blatantly break the law and do not care.

During the last year or two the number of robocalls has skyrocketed. The calls are annoying and have stopped us from answering call we needed to take because we didn't recognize the phone number calling.

We now use nomorobo.com and it has helped so very much with us no longer getting calls we do not want.

Robocalls for emergency notification, or explicitly opted-in services (prescription readiness etc) are fine; unsolicited, charitable, and political robocalls are not. We have been driven from our home phone - we never answer it, to let the answering machine do the filtering; this is not only an annoyance on *every* call (the multiple rings, etc) but it also impacts our ability to receive calls from friends and family. Stop the robocalls - with financial disincentives!

For over 2 weeks, I kept receiving phone calls from the same number and NoMoRobo blocked them. That number called every single day and on a few occasions called up to 4 times in one day. In researching that number online, I found people that answered the call and it was someone foreign telling them that their computer was infected with a virus. They wanted access to the computer. Before I signed up with NoMoRobo, I had answered similar calls and told them to stop calling me and to remove my number. They were always very rude and would stop for a while then start up again. I'm on the National Do-Not-Call list but because they never give their company name, reporting them didn't do any good. NoMoRobo helped by continually hanging up on this person. Robot calls are ridiculous ... you answer the phone, there is no one there or you have to wait 30 seconds before someone picks up on the calling end. That is stupid. If the call is important, let the person "hand dial" the number ... and let it be a legit call and not a telemarketer who pays no attention to the National Do-Not-Call list.

Is the FCC so archaic that your response will be to cite outdated, ignored anti-telemarket laws and circa 1950 donotcall registries?

Since I have started using NOMOROBO to block unwanted calls, I have seen a dramatic drop in the number of unwanted calls. Since telemarketers seem to ignore the national do not call list, this is the only solution that I have seen work so far.

Since the phone companies refuse to help block these calls, like only allowing me to block 10 numbers at a time, and telemarketers "spoof" names and numbers, I have little recourse in stopping these calls, other than NOMOROBO.

I am a disabled Army veteran. Before getting Nomorobo, I would have to try to get to the phone as many as 20 times per day, only to find I was responding to an illegal call. I am registered with the Federal and Florida Do No Call lists, but that does not slow these callers. Besides these people that should not be calling me, many of the times, I would find the call to be a recording, which violates Florida law and, I believe, also federal law. Nothing stopped this waste of my time and often painful attempt to reach the phone. I connected with Nomorobo and now have to respond only once or twice to calls that do not get filtered out. Why can my phone company (Verizon) not block these unwanted and, in fact, illegal calls? I should add that for a while, I paid Verizon to block "caller ID blocked calls", but the service was completely ineffective.

I don't want to receive any robocalls. They are the biggest nuisance and totally unsolicited. Once they get their hooks into you, they continue to harass you. Although they give you the option to not receive these calls by pressing a designated number, this never works. I think they state this option (knowing that they're not really giving you this option) to protect themselves in the event of a lawsuit. I should not have to be bothered with any unsolicited calls. Give us the power to control what phone calls we want to receive. After all, it is our phone.

It is of the utmost importance to stop and block all robocalls. I am the primary caretaker to my Mother and when the phone is constantly ringing, at least 6-10 times a day if not more, it upsets and disturbs her. As well as I have to divert my attention away from her to see if it is an important phone call from a doctor, lab, nurse, hospital, family member, etc. The calls come from early in the morning....beginning at 8 AM and have even pushed past the time of 9 PM.

The callers on the other end don't take 'no' for an answer, whether I hang up on them, don't answer, or whatever the case may be. None of them are bill collectors or anything of sort, I have never received that type of call....because I was raised to live within your means. In other words, if you owe people money my father would say, whatever you have does not belong to you.So these calls are simply nuisance calls to waste time. Robocalls in general have tied up our phone lines by continuously playing when I have needed to desperately reach a doctor/ambulance for my Mom and robocall blocking is something that should be recognized as an inherent way to make life less difficult...when it is such an easy fix.

We have an unpublished and private number and this is still going on, so whatever steps you are able to do to help enforce the robocalls and blocking would be most appreciated. It literally boils down to quality of life...and that is something that is of extreme importance to all of us.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

The Do Not Call list is worthless. Robocalls are a nuisance and a intrusion of my privacy. Robo call blocking at least reduces some of the marketing calls eventhough marketers continue to use different caller idnumbers. The FCC should do a better of controlling these callers.

Please stop all these annoying calls! We can not have quiet meal without these calls and they are often abusive.

We sometimes miss important calls because we are forced to ignor calls. It costs these people nothing to call and if one in a thousand buy something it it fine by these callers even though they have intruded on 999 that are not interested.

Make a change that robo callers have to pay those people that they call!

Robocalls suck! They are annoying and seem to come all day. I am home much of the day and constantly bombarded with these stupid anonymous calls, usually asking for money for one product or pseudo charity or another. I feel like a prisoner -- either answer the phone and put up with their verbal scams, or ignore the calls, and possibly miss a real phone call to me. The ringing all day is absolutely annoying to say the least, and there must be a simple way to have the phone company block them, i.e., prevent them from getting through to me.

Some days I would receive 8 to 12 phone calls from computer derived phone calls, I would say "hello" and there would be a several second wait before someone would answer my hello. These calls were often non-sense, broken English speakers, telling me that I had had surgery, etc and that they were filing a court case and they needed more information from me. Nomorobo has saved me NUMEROUS unwanted phone calls. Please keep this available for everyone.

We wanted to keep our landline, but robocalls were so persistent, constant, and aggravating that we were ready to disconnect it. Instead we installed the NoMoRobo call blocker, and it has enabled us to still receive our essential calls - including those from preferred vendors and organizations - and totally block nuisance calls.

I'd predict that, if robocall blockers were prohibited, most landline users, us included, would give up on landlines for good!

Personally, blocking only robocalls isn't going far enough. Almost every day we get at least one call and have even gotten as many as 5 or 6 calls in one day. I can't be sure they're all robocalls, because I don't answer many of these calls anymore when I don't recognize the numbers. I do from time to time, Google the phone numbers and often see many other complaints regarding the same numbers.

I think these blocking products are needed so we don't have to waste our time bothering with these calls. There used to be a time when getting a phone call was a big deal. Now, us telephone consumers, feel hostage to these robocalls and scammers all the time. It's gotten to the point where we don't even answer many of the calls and let them leave messages, which they often don't, with the answering machine. I've even contemplated dropping our landline phone number because of the number of bogus calls we get.

A few years ago, I was so upset, I bought a landline phone that had blocking capabilities. It was capable of blocking 30 numbers. It worked great, but unfortunately I filled those 30 numbers within several weeks and wish I would've bought another phone that blocks out 250 numbers. I have a feeling I could've filled at least half of those numbers.

The do-not-call list was a noble concept, but has failed miserably. Many of us have no means to block the endless list of phone numbers and phone calls we get. Don't stop there as many of these scam artists are often one step ahead technologically. The FCC should consider banning "spoofing" as well. I've even had someone spoof my cell phone number to our landline phone, trying to get someone to think it was me calling. It's getting out of hand and it needs to stop.

If you don't believe us, check out the website 800notes.com. There are plenty of fed up people on there that share their experiences with particular bogus phone numbers. It's one tool I use to find out who calls us. In fact we got one today from Norfolk, VA, a scam no doubt. Please help us phone users avoid robocalls and all other scamming numbers in any way possible. At this point, I'm willing to try any blocking products that work.

Fraud by companies that are using illegal methods to solicit me--I am on the Do Not Call list--and usually trying to part me from my money through illegal activities.

Others use robocallers for legal--but unwanted--purposes. During elections, the relentless calls from robocallers is not only annoying, they are intrusive and unrelenting.

Robocall blocking is one of the best things to have happened in the communications field. We have had this service (no charge to the consumer) for over two years and love it. We average 8-10 calls per week blocked; calls that we have no interest in receiving. Most of these calls are not identified as to the caller, i.e. say "unavailable" or some random numbers. This makes it difficult to ignore the call if we didn't have robocall blocking. Please do not interfere with this vital consumer protection.

As a senior living in a senior only community it is not only annoying to receive machine dialed calls, but any telemarketing calls. The residents in the community need their lines available for 911 emergencies, receiving return calls from health care providers, arrangements for traveling because of not being able to drive and deferring scams on seniors. Then there is the problem of the impaired getting anxious when they cannot get to a phone before the hang up. Many have severe handicaps from missing limbs to very poor internal organs and loss of sight and hearing. These telemarketing calls may cause a possible life threating situation for some.

I do not like to receive robocalls! Robo call blocking stops these unwanted calls. Yesterday we had at least 10 calls from 803-589-4864 within a 2 hour span that robocall blocking handled. These nuisance calls must be stopped one way or another, and robocall blocking is a very good way to do so. I'm also on the do not call listing and it doesn't do the job!

You need to support robocall blocking for the consumer and insist it be made available to all phone customers!

More than half the calls I get are unsolicited calls to my phone. I don't answer unless I know who is calling me. It's a nuisance to have to go check to see who is calling and it feels like an invasion of privacy. A number of years ago I signed a registry to have unknown calls blocked but somehow that must have ceased being available.

The telephone company already has a way for me to block unwanted calls. I am using their system and pay to block 20 phone numbers. In addition I have a telephone that will block up to 30 calls. I have 50 phone numbers blocked and there are days when I receive 15 or more calls a day.

We pay for our phone, we pay not to have our number listed, and we pay to have phone insurance. Why can't we have a better option so we don't have to deal with constant ROBO calls?

I've been using NOMOROBO approximately one month. My wife and I are over 70 years old and cancer survivors. Since we began blocking robocalls, we are able to take uninterrupted naps, study, read, etc...

The calls used to begin in the early morning and continue well into the evening from all over the world. Thanks to NOMOROBO, our lives have returned to a semblance of normalcy.

I only hope that Congress would legislate that AT&T be required to provide a blocking service that would be free of charge for those other scammers that ignore the do not call lists and the FCC.

The telecom companies don't want robocall blocking products because they make money if the calls are answered and when scammers purchase the toll-free numbers. Don't allow them to do this; they are already gouging us with local, state, and federal fees and surcharges that they can't/won't explain in plain English.

We need Congress to protect us and not allow telecoms to beat us down.

The fact that some companies or even individuals use automated robocalls to our home is astounding and a very real nuisance. This method is used to contact our family only for a high pressure sales pitch on items we neither want or desire.

Some of these robocallers even redial immediately again we disconnect from the call.

The usual salesperson can understand and respect our wishes when we request to be removed from their telephone call list. Unfortunately, this is not the case for the automated calling systems. The phone can ring for an extended period and is disrupting for any family environment.

Thanks for your consideration on this issue.

Robocalls should be blocked, period! They tend to come at odd hours and I consider them an invasion of privacy. If a party chooses to call me there should at least be a live person on the other end.

The do not call list was a great idea, but is largely ignored by violators because they know their profit from violating its protection exceeds the risk of consumers taking the time, effort, and expense, to sue them for violating the law. Regulations should be adopted that impose fines and penalties for failing to include sufficient accurate caller id information on all telemarketing calls (including robocalls) for the person receiving the call to identify the caller and seek legal redress for violations of the do not call list, and any rules the FCC adopts allowing people to choose to block or not to receive robocalls.

Robocalling is an intrusion on citizens' privacy and many robocalls also violate the do not call list. If it would be easier to block robocalls closer to their originating source, all providers of phone service (copper wire, voip, cable, etc.) should be required by the FCC to electronically "tag" all robocalls to make it simpler for consumers to choose whether or not to allow robocalls to ring their phone. People should not be forced to have their privacy, peace and quiet disturbed by robocalls. Blocking robocalls should be a no charge phone service feature and robocall blocking products should be available to all at nominal or no cost and the phone service providers should be required to facilitate the accurate use of such devices at no cost to consumers with electronic tagging of robocalls. Any such costs should be charged to the robocallers.

We signed up for the National Do Not Call list. The calls continued. We blocked each individual number up to the 20 allowed by our telephone provider, and then erased those and started again when we used up all 20 spots. The calls continued. We signed up for NoMoRobo and immediately only one or two calls A WEEK got through. We report those numbers and now it's rare to get an unwanted sales or robo call. I do not understand why the National Do Not Call List is a joke.

Nomorobo blocked the calls but we could see the phone number on our TV screen or the phone screen and knew it was the same charity every time. They would even call us early in the morning or late at night when we were sleeping. The charity then, just recently, sent us a large package with cover letter saying that since they could not reach us by phone, they are sending us a full canvassing package "assuming" we would want to contact all our neighbors for contributions to their charity. They wasted a lot of time, postage, and paper and forever lost a yearly contributor in the process. Very annoying on many levels!

I would like to block all robocalls, it is a nightmare having robocalls made to my home phone almost every hour, mornings, afternoons and evenings. I have requested to stop the annoying calls several times but they have continue to do so, now is even worse, they use phone numbers that do not exist so I can not even request to stop.

We need more call blocking solutions like NoMoRoBo. I am tired of my residence being called by one telemarketer/scammer after another. I tried blocking the numbers but I ran out of numbers due to the phone company limits. The callers just changed their number through spoofing devices and kept calling. I changed my home phone number and unlisted it to defeat them, but they keep coming.

I truly believe that the phone companies could easily put an end to this madness working with today's technology, like NoMoRoBo. Why doesn't the FCC push the companies to do something about this.

About 80% of my phone calls are robocalls trying to sell me stuff I don't need and am not interested in. I'm sick of it. I'm getting old, and it's hard to keep getting up and down to the phone to see who's calling. Asking to opt out, or be put on the seller's 'do not call' list doesn't work at all.

Robot and unwanted calls come through every day. Callers violate the do not call list with impunity. I have never seen a call stop because of the do not call list and there is no risk to the violators.

I want Nomorobo to not only continue to exist and do its good work, but be allowed to do more - like have it work on every phone (wired, wireless, satellite, etc.). Without this service, I would continue to be HARASSED by the CDC / their Office in Chicago calling to get immunization information. Not giving it and thanks to Nomorobo I no longer get 2-3 calls PER DAY from an agency of the federal government. Really, that many calls. And the service works like a charm.

Use tax payer money to expand this service, help Nomorobo to fund the development of more tools to fight the robo calls and to therefore allow US taxpayers to control who calls and who does not call their phones. It would be more effective and efficient than anything the FCC has or will ever be able to do.

By the way, I have an unlisted, unpublished phone number on my landline (where these calls are mostly occurring), I am on the Do Not Call registry, and I STILL get calls. When the call says "Unknowns" and has no number, Nomorobo is the ONLY means to stop the calls. It is likely the calls are from out of country and thus the telephone hoodlums are not subject to any 'rules'. Nomorobo stops them dead in their tracks.

Please do something constructive, for once. Expand the use of Nomorobo to every type of telephone service. And do it quickly, please, not over 17 years like with HDTV signals.

Thank you.

My purchase of a product or service, gives me the right to determine quantity, size, when and where it will be used etc.

My phone service isn't an exception. I determine if it will be local and/or long distance/international rates, calling features etc. Therefore, I've decided to use a robocall blocking service on both my home and mobile phone lines.

Be advised, I'm also registered on the FCC's "Don't Call List". Nonetheless I'm constantly pestered by a variety of telemarketers 7 days/week. Obviously the FCC doesn't have the resources to enforce those who violate and continue to contact persons registered on the list.

The consumer bears the cost with no benefits if robocall blocking isn't available. Don't insult the consumer further due to lack of enforcement of Don't Call List violations.

Your time and attention in this matter is appreciated.

Robotic computer-driven automated calls to my home land line or my cell phone drive me nuts. It is the height of personal disturbance to a household to be forced by FCC and FTC mandates to be subjected to these calls several times every day when the calls are NOT wanted. Household and cell telephones are something we have to rely on for our family and our workplace to call us in emergencies and otherwise. We USED TO have that right honored in this country. What could have gone so wrong that you disregard the publics rights to not be disturbed like this. This is significant.

Every time one of these ignoramus calls come in, I have to look to guess if it might be one that I should not ignore. THAT IS A PROBLEM. It is very disturbing to be forced into guessing rather than just answering every call only to find a robot on the other end of the line.

Every single time this happens, I curse the FCC and all of the US government that chooses to ignore the privacy of the American public because of these officials enjoy from these massive corporations in order to be reelected to their government positions. Each of these calls is direct proof that the American government system is right now horribly corrupt. People around the world think it's a pity that the Average American has fewer rights every day. America no longer is respected because of this corruption.

I listened to the Congressional hearings explaining exactly how these calls are made. That the FCC actively chooses to not protect the American people from these assaults means that you completely fail at your mandate to protect the public. I do not personally believe for a second that you sincerely solicit opinions from the public on this subject.

1. First of all, I am forced to buy caller ID, purely out of self defense against robocalls.

2. There is basically no way for me as an individual household to be taken off these lists. Believe me, I have tried and tried and tried. It's not possible.

3. Robocalls ignore all DO NOT CALL REGISTRATIONS. So that service is worthless.

I'm am really tired of having to complain once again to the FCC about this matter. This has gone on now for many years and the corporations love your incapacity to act on behalf of the public.

As far as I know, and I have never been told otherwise, my cell phone number has never been published. And I'd like to keep it that way.

In the same vane, since I choose not to publish my cell phone number (or any of my family's cell phone numbers) I do not wish to get any unwanted phone calls, especially those dialed by a machine in a mass function in the hopes of getting me to answer my phone so I can be sold something.

I pay for my cell phone service, but not so I can receive unsolicited and unwanted advertisements.

Similarly, I do not wish to be bombarded with "robocalls" while at home. While I do publish my home phone number in the "white pages", it is not for the purpose of soliciting unwanted telemarketing calls. Instead I publish my home phone number so friends and family can find me if they do not remember my home phone number.

Moreover, I find it repugnant that companies can resort to unmanned robotic calling techniques just to skim through the arduous task of dialing thousands of numbers. If it's important enough to call me, then pay someone to do so, but obviously it's not important enough to put someone to work to accomplish the task.

Further, if "robomarketers" cannot find enough people to make these calls, then perhaps that is a telling message that should be acknowledged and respected.

Enough already! I receive enough solicitations daily that I do not want or need armies of anonymous machines calling me at any of my phones, ever. Don't we get enough solicitations through all of our media outlets already?

If you are concerned about the average citizen, then let's put a stop to this insidious abuse of my phone and of technology.

Nomorobo blocks an average of 4 calls to my house per day, usually during mealtime. Without this ability, my phone will cease being a utility because I will simply turn it off most of the time.

I would suggest that you empower the phone companies to charge 10 cents per call coming into my number and give me a fixed number, say 100, of phones that can call me for free. You can split proceeds with the phone company and 3 parties will feel good. Of course, I would like to ability to double or triple the charge for political calls.

The national "Do not call" list seems to be ineffective. Consumers need to have easily accessible methods to block unwanted telemarketers, donation seekers, political and general surveys, etc. This should be available to land lines, cell phones, and VOIP lines. This seems like it should be something that can be blocked by the individual or through access to nationally developed lists of nuisance calls (such as developed by nomorobo calls) and probably some other efficiently developed systems that I'm not aware exist.

Since having NOMOROBO installed on our fone, a land line, spam or solicitor calls have been reduce considerably. The program is geared to calls made by remote calling machines, not individual callers. Verizon also has a program that lets customers delete up to 12 phone numbers they would like to block. So between the two, we have reduced our spam / solicitor calls significantly. NOMOROBO is good program, keep it going.

The Do Not Call List is a joke! I think as soon as people sign up, the government sells the number to telemarketers. As soon as I signed up, my robo calls skyrocketted! My answering machine is clogged and my missed call list only shows "unknown name; unknown number".

Nomorobo has cut the offensive, aggravating, nuisance calls 90%. the phone rings once and stops. That saves me from interrupting my life and going to answe the phone, only to hear some hooey like, "Congratulations! You've just won...whatever!"

If the government doesn't allow consumers (not to mention taxpayers!) to handle their own phone line, there we definitely need a change. Not just Washington, but in the FCC!

I am SO sick of robocalls. Sick of answering the phone only to find dead air at the other end, and then, a few moments later, hearing an automated voice start up. There's even one now that greets you and asks how you are, so you THINK you're talking to a person, and after you say "Fine," it goes, "This is a recorded call...blah, blah, etc. etc."

It's outrageous that people should be able to waste my time (and the time of all their other victims) like this. Caller i.d. helps some, but not always. SOMETIMES you can tell you're being called by telemarketers, but more often than not, it just shows a number with no other info. If it says "number not available," I don't answer. Ever. But if there's a number that I don't happen to recognize, I have to weigh whether to not pick up and take a chance on missing something important.

I just don't see any reason why ROBOTS should be allowed to call me, at all, ever. If someone wants to talk to me, even if it's just to try to get my money, they need to be adults and TALK to me.

GET RID OF ROBOCALLS. Free speech does not apply; robots don't have rights.

My cell phone is for emergency use - I don't pay for time so some company can call with canned offers that I could care less about!!

My home phone is for MY use and the use of friends and family. Racing to answer what turns out to be a 'junk mail' robo call is just plain maddening!

Why are companies/persons allowed to interrupt my day - whether at work or home - with their robo calls???

Do the right thing for the people for God's sake. You've been shills for corporations for way too long and we've had about enough! If you want to pay for my phone and cell phone service then that would be one thing, but I pay for it and am sick and tired of paying for service that doesn't allow me to control who calls me.

Please force the phone companies to provide robocall blocking solutions to consumers like me. Living in Colorado, a swing state, the political campaigns are relentless and there is no easy way to opt out from annoying phone calls throughout the week. In addition, additional measures should be considered to increase the efficacy of the Federal do-not-call list for telemarketers. Many companies are now somehow successfully ignoring this list.

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 2321 of 5002

It's time to stop the robo calls and all the other miscellaneous crap calls being permitted by the loopholes in 'do not call'.

Our family has been on 'do not call' since early on and we still receive an average of 25 unwanted calls per month. These calls consist of robo calls, charities, political campaigns, surveys, and companies claiming to be offering free home security systems, free medical alerts, and so forth.

After signing up on nomorobo.com, our calls dropped to 10 for the month of December 1014.

It's time to stop robo calls and time to fix 'do not call' to mean exactly that, DO NOT CALL for any reason, from anyone, at any time.

We pay for a phone service, to have a number that's for our personal use. Why should we be subjected to any call, any time, if we don't want them.

Companies and organizations are abusing the right to call. Even after being told not to call, they still do. ADT home security and these medical alert companies are very guilty of that. If it's an automated system and you 'opt out', you still get called. If you talk to a person and tell them to remove you from their contact list they just hang up. Guess they believe if they hang up being told to be removed from their contact list doesn't count.

And sometimes they just call from a different number and/or state, so I guess they believe that is permitted since they weren't told not to call from that number before.

Fix the 'do not call' loopholes and don't allow charities, surveys, so-called free offers, political calls, or any calls to be permitted if on the 'do not call'. Do not call means just that, DO NOT CALL.

If I want to give to a charity, I will do so on my own. If I want home security or a medical alert, I will contact someone. I don't want surveys at all, and I definitely don't want political calls soliciting for my vote or donations. Good way to loss my vote.

I don't call you at home, why should anyone be able to call me. These calls are nothing but harassment.

It's time to protect the public. It's my choice to have privacy, not their choice to ignore..

Do your job and stop this madness once and for all.

Enough! The robo calls come through, especially during family meals, interrupting core quality time.

The other concern is related to emergencies. Some times, the robo s don't disconnect. If a little old lady with osteoporosis runs for the phone and falls, and the phone does not disconnect after she hangs up, she cannot call for help. I have experienced several times that I cannot use my phone because even after I hang up, the robo call is still on the line.

There is no respect for people and I don't understand what right have to invade my personal space on a daily basis and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.

You must now take any available action to stop the robocallers.

We, as the elderly must have the phone available to recieve calls. We cannot block all calls, as they may be for our medical needs, in particular.

However my best friends, cannot figure out how to utilize this service, so it is time, actually it is well over time, that the government steps in to regulate this intrusion into our lives. My friend who is in his 70's recieves up to 20 calls per day. He must monitor all incoming calls on his answering machine, to later delete the robocalls. Do something now to stop this extreme invasion on our citizen's privacy, a fundimental right that is being violated by non-regulation of this sinister industry.

The constant Robo calls are extremely annoying, especially at 7:30 am. (They woke me up). They call for Viagra, medical prescriptions, and credit card interest lowering, which I have NO interest in. When I ask them to take me off the list they immediately hang up. And then they call me again and again the days, weeks, months on end. I've even asked to speak to their supervisor and they rudely hang up on me. I receive four to six calls a day. Last week I spoke with a robo caller regarding a credit card lowering interest reform program. She asked the balance on my credit cards and when I told her ZERO she immediately hung up on me.

The FCC is supposed to be the agency that protects the public? I have listed all of my phone numbers on the "Do Not Call" registry and I continue to get increasing numbers of calls from solicitors and polite requests to have them not call again are ignored. Again, the FCC has not not done its job. Trying to make a complaint is a waste of time. THE FCC DOES NOTHING FOR THE CONSUMER — it does however, cater to the whims and wishes of the likes of Comcast, Time-Warner, and other "business" interests. The FCC MUST STOP ROBOCALLS AND ENFORCE THE "DO NOT CALL" REGISTRY AND BRING LEGAL AND REGULATORY ACTIONS ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER TO STOP ROBOCALLS AND ALLOW THE CONSUMER TO EFFECTIVELY USE ANTI-ROBOCALLING PRODUCTS.

I have never had a telemarket call that was beneficial for me, only a waste of my time. I,ve always believed that I had enough intelligence to know my needs without the advice of telemarketers.

Robocalls have become one of my biggest issues in running a sole proprietor business. The calls are uninvited interruptions to my focus on my work (editing video). Do Not Call doesn't make any difference; part of the time, there is no-one actually on the calling end; other times they can hide their identity and call using a different number the next time. If I had any interest in anything at all being offered, I would initiate a call.

It may seem like a momentary interruption, but when you must focus on what you are doing and may be on a creative surge, it's damaging to have this waste of time.

I applaud what NoMoRobo has been able to stop, and hope that there will be better such products/services available in the future.

I should NOT be bothered by robocalls on my home phone or my cell phone if I choose not to. Robocall blocking products are KEY to keeping these phone pests in check. Right now I have an external company Nomorobo that is helping me with this but I think the phone companies should provide robo call blocking features. Please make this happen.

Even though we are on the Do Not Call List, we get robo calls every day on our home phone as well as cell phones. This is an invasion of my privacy and a genuine nuisance. Phone companies should allow us to block calls that we do not want and have asked these companies not to call.

Robo calls should be totally against the law! They are an uninvited invasion of privacy!!! We had as many as 15 per day before before we enrolled in Nomorerobo.

I use NoMoRobo to great advantage. On our home phone, we get an average of 3 calls a day that NoMoRobo STOPS.

And now, they have started to call our cell phones. The unwanted calls cost us cell phone user lots of money per year. I want to be in charge of my phones, not some weasel that annoys, interrupts and is certainly an unneeded expense. I urge you to do the right thing for us consumers. Let the robocalls be blocked once and for all. The do not call lists are a great idea, but if only the criminal element abides by them.

The ability to block robo calls should be a supported service that phone customers do not have to pay for. If a phone company wants to profit from robocallers, they should share some of those profits in the form of a service that allows customers to block those calls if wanted. At the minimum, subsidize and provide features that allow services like Nomorobo to operate.

My wife and I are senior citizens. It's not right for us to be harassed sometimes as much as 10 times a day by annoying robocalls.

Many of them are trying to sell products like emergency call buttons, "the I've fallen and can't get up variety". Many are informing us that it's our lucky day and we have been selected for a cruise, vacation, etc. and to get our vouchers we just have to money order or wire the $200 transfer fee.

It's actually forced us to screen most of our calls with caller ID. These robocalls usually show up as "private numbers", unlisted numbers" or "not available" numbers.

When numbers are listed and you try to call them, you discover that the number does not take calls or that they are disconnected or not listed numbers.

I don't think freedom of speech entitles you to telephone people at odd hours of the day and night, interrupt, disturb and harass them.

I've complained to our telephone carrier, the police and Commonwealth of Massachusetts Attorney General's office and was told there was nothing they could do about it.

Months ago I frequently called the FCC's complaint number. I'm totally unaware of anything being done with those complaint calls. I've given up on that, because I noticed my complaints even lead to more calls.

It's only fair and just that something be done by our government whether local, state or national to put an end to this.

We have Verizon FIOS as our home phone system. We signed up for NOMOROBO when it was first introduced. The service is blocking at least 1 robocall per day (sometimes more form the same source) based on review of my Verizon Call Log. A few still get through though they can usually be traced to MajicJack customers and MajicJack will disconnect them once a complaint is made. It would be great if my mother and daughter (not Verizon customers) could have NOMOROBO on their phones- they can't they have standard phone service from CenturyLink.

In the absence of meaningful enforcement of the "Do Not Call" law, and by meaningful I mean something that provides a real disincentive to the violators without making the population jump through a myriad of hoops to report violations, features such as Nomorobo are essential. If the phone companies don't want to support Nomorobo, let's make them responsible for enforcing the "Do Not Call" law by mandating that after a third violation that they totally cut off service to firms that violate the law rather than just make them pay minor fines. Or maybe have the phone companies generate 1,000 robo calls a day to the personal phone numbers of violating company executives. Allowing companies to violate laws and cause grave aggravation to citizens to provide revenue for the phone companies is not tolerable!

As a senior citizen that has to make a great effort to get to the phone every time it rings I do not appreciate the number being one just listing the city and state. I get at least five of these robocalls per day and the interruption irritates me especially when I have to take my nap as most elder people do. You can curtail this if you want to so take the effort to help us prevent these useless and sometimes fraudulent calls for our money. Thank You.

Robocall blocking products, such as Nomorobo, has saved my sanity. Prior to signing up for their service, I was receiving multiple robocalls a day, ranging from 6:00am to 11:00pm. Without a doubt, the vast majority of these calls were fraudelent in nature, likely with the intent of stealing money or identity. Ignoring the phone calls did not prove to be an effective solution and answeing the telephone often lead to inappropriate language and vulgarity on the part of the caller because I would not cooperate with their demands.

These robocalling thieves have utter disregard for the FCC and continue to violate your rules because they know they cannot be reprimanded. These illegal calls are offensive and I am outraged that the FCC would allow them to continue to harass and steal from those you are supposedly there to protect. The only way to protect ourselves at this present time is by using a robocall blocking product, which only blocks illegal calls. There is no rational reason for banning robocall blocking products.

I work at home. I'm a writer. Concentration is important to me, but I get five or six robocalls a day - many of which tell me it is my last chance to do something or other. Yet, every day, I get another set of robocalls - many of which tell me, well, you get the idea. I can't shut off the phone while I write, because my wife lives here, too. I can't block the robocalls because, they just show up again with other numbers. I don't, on a daily basis, want to check my credit, invest, or hear about some product I just can't live without. Honest. Why can't we stop them from calling?

I am a retired senior and am so grateful for Nomorobo. My phone rings night day, often many times from the same caller. At least with Nomorobo the call is disconnected after the first ring. If vendors can contact me, unsolicited, with no labor involved on their part, I should be permitted to have those calls disconnected with no labor on my part. Now I wish there was a way to stop the other unsolicited sales calls.

I now only answer calls where the caller is personally identified by a name I know on my caller ID. I pay for phone service for my personal convenience.

The FCC should be extremely proactive in promoting solutions aimed at stopping robocalls. They have taken over the phone lines.

Wondering why the FCC could do NOTHING about that I was totally most thankful when I discovered Nomorobo! It has made our life so much easier since we can now identify those calls and not have to GET UP and run to the phone only to find it's another UNWANTED MARKETER!

NOMOROBO is one of the best things to have happened to me lately because I was literally inundated with unsolicited calls every day. Since I work from home this was very disruptive to my business as well as my daily life. NOMOROBO has solved this problem and I no longer have to spend a large portion of my day answering calls from telemarketers and other unsolicited businesses. You can tell the phone companies that I was very close to switching off my home phone service (meaning they would lose my monthly service fees) until I found NOMOROBO. No more NOMOROBO will mean no more home phone service for me. In addition, I don't understand why it's possible for me to block an unlimited number of callers on my cell phone but not on my home phone. Obviously the technology and/or knowhow exists. It should be available for home phone service as well.

Nomorobo has been a welcome godsend for my household, and it's free and available to anyone, as it should be. We've definitely noticed a reduction in unwanted robocalls/telemarketers making a telephone connection as a result of signing up with Nomorobo service. I wish there were more such companies out there, and more effective government intervention, so that robocalls and incessant, unwanted telemarketing eventually become a thing of the past.

We have used Nomorerobo for about a year and it has been a Godsend. Prior to Nomorerobo we received at least 10 sales calls a day, starting in the morning and especially during the dinner hour. We would just not answer the phone but still had to listen to hang ups or long winded messages left on the answering machine. Now, we just get the occassional local sales call which is managable. Please don't make us go back to the previous unbearable conditions. We love Nomorerobo.

Robo calls have to STOP. I get an average of 6-10 calls a day at all hours.

This is an invasion of my privacy. Unsolicited garbage, scams, offers I don't want to hear it. You bother me on the phone because it cost you nothing but it costs me my peace and quiet.

This must stop, I want control of what I'm paying for on my phone. I don't need scammers selling me anything. If I need something I'll make the call.

Robo blocking products are the best alternative to solving this illegal invasion of my privacy. I should be able to not allow any unsolicited call of any nature. Don't call me I'll call you.

Robocalls are one of the most annoying things about modern life. In my entire life, I have never had one robocall that I was please to receive, and I'll bet that few people have.

Robocalls are particularly bothersome for cell phone users, who get pestered as they drive, work, attend church, or have meetings.

Since the technology is available, There is no reason on earth to not block robocalls. Junky spammers ignore the DoNotCall phone lists. They change numbers frequently do avoid being shut down or fined.

They do not deserve the right to stop real people from using available technology to block them.

Please support human beings, not robots for unethical spammers who use every measure they can to flaunt all rules of business and human ethics.

Please do not let the spammers influence legislation to disallow robocall blocking products.

We are sick and tired of getting numerous "robocalls" which are usually people trying to sell something, scam you, or whatever. Thanks to caller ID we do not answer most of these calls. But....Verizon will not let us block calls -- WHY? It does no good reporting to the FCC as the calls just keep on coming and these people simply change the number or the number has been "discontinued". If the FCC doesn't know by now that people are fed up with robocalls, then they have been living in the dark ages.

I should not have to pay for any service that is using a product I pay for to receive unwanted advertisements. The phone should not ever ring from a sales, political, non-profit, or other unwanted intrusive caller.

I have a mail box. Non-profits, commercial, or self serving institutions should use the mail, at full rate, if it wants to contact me. It would help the US Postal Service balance it's books, and allow me time to gather information about issues/items offered so I can make an informed choice. It would also give me some peace and quiet at home. If my home is my castle, I should be able to defend myself from intruders be they verbal or physical.

The idea of the FCC taking action that would prohibit robocall blocking products is totally ridiculous.

We know there are that many because the phone rings just once or, if we are not home, we have the "missed call" message on our phone. Such calls are an insult to consumers and without the blocking product, we would have no capacity to stop them since businesses that make such calls ignore our please to discontinue those calls.

Unwanted incoming phone calls from people wanting to scam you are the most annoying and yes at times threatening, activity to hit our phone system in the last decade. At times it feels like you are at war with these scam artists, they do not take "No" for an answer they repeatedly call you, even after asking them not you and then cuss at you for "wasting their time" by having to hear you complain. The "Do Not Call Registry" is a joke. It is sad when our government can put so much effort into listening to our calls by the NSA but cannot (or won't) put any effort into stopping these calls. We need the FCC to be much more pro-active in fixing this issue, they need to request the phone companies to provide the necessary tools to do this. Just as they can ask for recordings of our calls from the phone companies tjhey can ask them to stoop these unwanted calls.

Please make it easier for consumers to block unwanted calls! This includes robo calls and many (several per day) calls from people selling things in violation of the do not call registry. I am so tired on answering the phone all day to these intrusions. Thank you for whatever you can do about these calls.

We should be able to continue using the robocall blocking products.

I was getting unwanted marketers and robocalls every day and after I started using this great service the number of call went drastically down to almost none. Furthermore, I think local phone companies including wireless companies should offer this product as a future in their plan packages.

Part of our Freedom of Speech is to not have to listen to people we don't want to hear. It is an invasion of my privacy, and being able to block my calls is my personal freedom and choice. I don't call them and I don't want them to call me. If I want something, let me initiate the action, not some person sitting in a room that has no personal interest in my well-being, but a quota. I have asked to be put on a no-call list, but it NEVER works. Let me enjoy my peace and QUIET.

For the past several years, I have been harassed (yes, I consider it harassment) by up to 10 or more robocalls PER DAY, even on weekends, and EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO ELECTION THAT IS IMMINENT (we all know that political calls are among the worst offenders at this game of harassment.) I do NOT get calls from bill collectors. These are all illegal telemarketing calls. (I check the numbers online to find out who they are, because I have caller ID. That is how I know they are telemarketers who have no legitimate reason to call me. For peace of mind, I have learned not to answer ANY call unless I see that it is legitimate. That does not stop the calls from coming in and disturbing me. I am begging you to require the telecommunications companies to allow customers to block as many callers as we wish. That is the least they can do to try to make up for the years of harassment we have all been forced to endure.

Finding out about Nomorobo was a Godsend, and I have enjoyed using the service since the very start. If you used NomoRobo in your home, you'd already know its value and importance.

I get an average of 6 calls per day caught by this service. That's 1/2 dozen times per day that I don't have to answer my phone for a nuisance or robotic call in the privacy of my own home, at all hours of the day.

The NomoRobo service is more valuable to me than any other service the phone company could ever offer. I would rather give up call waiting or any other standard feature before giving up the service nomorobo provides. I have peace and quiet now, and no more aggravating calls.

Please insist that telephone companies provide automatic robocall blocking and/or enable consumers' use of third-party products such as Nomorobo -- on all landlines and cellular telephones.

The "do not call list" does not work. Companies are relentless with robocalls every day of the week and every time of the day. The robocall blocking products are a huge step in fighting these calls. Unfortunately, the phone must still ring once before the call can be blocked. You the government should be fixing this problem. This shouldn't be a hard decision to finally get these calls to stop.

There needs to be accountability with cell phones too. I am paying my cell phone company every time these robocalls come to my cell. I do not give my phone number out to anyone but friends and family, absolutely no one. The robocalls keep coming through and I have to pay for them. It's no different then someone stealing money out of my purse.

Robocalls are a nuisance to family time. Many telemarketing companies use robocalls, do not respect the Do Not Call Registry and call at the least desirable times. They do not respect requests to remove one's phone number from their calling lists, provide false caller id information and numbers which cannot be easily traced back and many times are selling useless products and/or services, or just plainly try to scam people, especially the elderly.

I have personally received calls trying to get into my computer, people impersonating bank officers and more, but since I started using nomorobo, a robocall blocking service through my Xfinity phone service, the number of those calls have diminished greatly.

We let nomorobo pick up the calls and if the phone rings more than once it means it does not match the known robocallers. When we pick up the phone, it is usually a call that we want or need to take. Once in a while a call comes through which we hope nomorobo would have caught. It is a very unpleasant feeling having to deal with those few telemarketers/robocallers that actually get through.

Robocalls from unscrupulous telemarketing companies is a problem which has a solution: robocall blocking services such as nomorobo.

I hope that you will not let phone companies deny consumers access to robocall blocker products and instead require that phone companies must provide access to such products/services.

Nomorobo has provided a very useful service for my family. Please do not let phone companies take it away.

My parents are in their 80’s. My mother has Rheumatoid Arthritis and my father has a heart condition. They are so burdened with Robo-calls that they don’t answer their phone if they are unsure of the number calling. They often miss important calls from their doctor’s office and friends/relatives that do not often call. It is a hardship on them to receive up to 20 calls per day that end up being complete and utter nonsense. They do not deserve this. They have been good citizens and good people.

They have not had a problem taking around $4.95 per month for this service. Enough is enough. In the last 3 weeks I have spent time putting a block on over 20 numbers that came into my home.

My home is my sanctuary. If I can’t avoid solicitations coming into my home (that I’m paying for) on my phone (that I’m paying for), what am I to do? Telephone solicitations invade my privacy. My home is my castle—or it used to be before telemarketing.

I want to be able to block robocalls. I’m on the Do Not Call Registry but I still get so many telemarketing calls. I want to block them and any of the calls that are allowed (such as charities or political calls) if they use robocalls. It’s my phone, I’m paying for it, and I don’t want anyone else using my phone to solicit anything from me.

I don’t want my work interrupted by robocalls. I work at home for an employer and get paid based on my accuracy and volume of work. I have an answering machine but I don’t want to hear the phone ring until it picks up, and I shouldn’t have to! I’m not going to turn off my answering machine because I could receive an emergency call from a family member and I want to have the option to pick up the phone if I hear their voice.

I don’t want my private time interrupted by robocalls. I have my phone so I can call my family and friends and vice versa and make calls for personal business matters. When I’m at home relaxing or taking care of chores, I don’t want to answer the phone only to find it’s a robocall and someone is trying to sell me something (that I probably don’t want) or otherwise waste my time. It’s a violation of the refuge of my private residence. Just because someone else doesn’t mind interrupting whatever I’m doing does not mean it’s OK.

When someone calls and I can see on the caller ID on my cable TV that it says “Anonymous,” “Private” or similar, I’d like to be able to stop the ringing immediately rather than listen to it until my answering machine picks up. I want to be Anonymous or Private, too, and have them leave me alone in my own home.

Nomorobo is great! We need to keep it and add more products that will let private citizens enjoy the privacy of their own homes. Like Quasimodo the hunchback of Notre Dame, I want my “Sanctuary! Sanctuary!”

Since I pay for phone services, I should have the option to block any and all callers that I deem as a nuisance, and this includes robocalls. I was recently on a very important call with an aging parent, who was frantic with some health concerns, and during that call, a robocaller kept trying to beep through. And not just one company, but 2!

I understand that some of these companies rely on their calls, and I unblock those that I do not mind getting calls from--particularly the thrift stores that rely on donations. But others that say they represent the police or the annoying political calls only hurt their cause as far as I am concerned--getting these calls insures that I will NOT support whomever they represent.

I pay to have a phone for my use and to communicate with my friends and family, not to have a barrage of unsolicited companies calling and forcing me to stop what I am doing to listen to a machine. These calls are disruptive and are breaking the law since I am on the do not call list. Robocall blocking products give us a fighting change for freedom from these intrusions. Please listen to us and not lobbyists for these companies.

My 80 year old mother hated hearing the phone ring because of the innumerable robocalls. It had gotten to the point where I was forced to change my phone number--robocalls were the reason. A phone tech told me about nomorobo. I didn't have to change my phone number and I no longer dread the constant ringing of the phone from robocallers. Robocalling is illegal. Consumers should be given all the tools that are available to stop them. Unfortunately, the FCC can't stop it on their own.

I'm sick of Robocalls and want the FCC to devise a plan that supports consumer efforts to block them on their personal landline, cell and VOIP phones. Paid or free it shouldn't matter. What should matter is that those who don't want them shouldn't have to be forced to receive them. Consumers should have an option to block all unwanted calls including robocalls.

The greater majority of phone calls to our land line for a number of years have been violations of the "Do Not Call" list. The greater majority of these were robocalls, almost all from spoofed numbers. Credit Card Services, free this and free that, solar energy, electric supply, bogus charities, etc., etc..

Registering with NOMOROBO has added a degree of tranquility. When the phone rings but once we continue with any activity. More than one ring and caller ID is checked, answering only numbers we recognize.

I am not aware of any legitimate robocall ( eg several doctor's offices with app't confirmations) which has been "rejected".

I was very disappointed to find our cellphone carrier is not able to handle this service. Rare is the week several robocalls are not received on each of our cellphones.

I have nomorerobo it has stopped the many annoying calls I was getting at all times of the day. I am on the federal do not call list and even have made a complaint about certain nusense calls I was receiving without the calls stopping. I tried recalling the numbers and auto deleting my number from that calling site but having the same company called from another number. I have tried to redial and gotten a busy signal or the number you have dialed can not be connected as dialed. nomorerobo has been a solution to these numerous annoying calls. Please let them continue. As a senior I can not always reach the phone quickly to ask the caller to remove my number from their list or they hang up before I get to the phone. Please require the phone companies to let nomorerobo continue.

R Adams Centreville, VA

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 2613 of 5002

My telephone line is like a "virtual" entrance to my home. I have a right to control who enters my home- whether they attempt to enter by the front door or by the telephone.

Also, the telephone company does not provide me with telephones- I have to buy those myself, in addition to paying the phone company for monthly service. Therefore, I am paying for not only the ongoing/recurring cost of access to a telephone network, but the telephone devices as well. Thus, I own (or lease) every facet of my telephone service. For a phone company to claim that I do not have the right to control what is conveyed into my home over telephones that I purchased and lines/bandwidth that I am leasing monthly is absurd.

After years of telephone companies claiming that they did not have the ability to block robocalls, and/or charging customers additional fees to block more than a paltry 15 or 20 numbers when we get 200-300 illegal and scamming robocalls every year, along comes NomoRobo and does it.

Now, apparently, those same lying phone companies want you to prevent Nomorobo from giving us privacy and freedom from criminal scammers in our own homes. Clearly, the phone companies have an agenda here, and they are willing to tell whatever lie suits their whim. As circumstances change. their lies and excuses change to match. Any thinking person can plainly see that the phone companies simply have no credibility on this issue.

Please remember to engage your BS filter when you hear from the telephone companies with their self- serving claims of inability to provide customers with the privacy to which we have an inherent right. Their unwillingness and/or recalcitrance for undisclosed reasons must not be confused with inability.

The profusion of these robo calls has gotten totally out of proportion. I can't think of anything more a obnoxious and intrusive as the phone ringing off the hook 5 to 10 times a day with someone trying to sell you something you have no need for nor any intention to ever want or buy. In addition to the totally unwanted sales calls are the equally invasive political calls before, during and after any elections.

Our telephones are our property to do with as we please and to provide us the communication service we pay for, nothing else. These robo calls are nothing more than a gross invasion of our right to privacy, along with peace and quiet when we're not using our phones for their intended purpose.

Illegal robocalls from spoofed fake caller-ID's are taking up much of our day. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, all day, every day. Rachel from Cardholder Services, and all her little criminal friends, all trying to steal our identities and ruin our lives. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. We need to keep our phone number because it is "out there" in too many vital places, like medical providers and financial institutions. We have to either answer the constant ringing in order to make things quiet and prevent our answering machine and voice mail from saturation by 11 am, and it is more than a nuisance. It is ridiculous. I have asked our phone carrier, Verizon, multiple times to assist us in preventing these robot-using criminals from hijacking our phone service that we pay for as they try to steal our money and identities. Verizon claims they do not have the technical expertise to do anything (I would be embarrassed to admit that). They can forever, for a price, change our phone number (as if that would do any good), or sell us a service that will allow us to block each caller one by one. Oh so tedious, and expensive -- and useless, because the criminal callers just change their spoofed fake caller ID as soon as the old one gets blocked. NOMOROBO.COM has been a Godsend. There is no reason the phone companies could not do this themselves! In the very, very rare event that a legitimate robo-caller gets blocked, we can report that number to NOMOROBO and have it taken off the block list. No problem for anybody.

PLEASE, FCC, WE BEG YOU TO GIVE US BACK OUR OWN PHONE SERVICE THAT WE PAY FOR, by assisting every effort to physically block illegal robocalls (and find and prosecute the criminals).

Computer dialed calls have always been a nusiance but the better word is disturbance. If I require goods or services I will establish contact to the outfit of my choosing. I honestly couldn't decipher if my joining the donotcall.gov list when it was formed had any impact whatsoever (If it did it surely isn't working now)! If my family hadn't had the same landline telephone number for thirtyfive years we would have long gotten rid of it soley because of these unwelcome calls. Thanks to our joining of nomorobo.com for about one year now we are still plagued daily by these rediculous calls but Nomorobo soley stops these calls at the first ring which we can live with!

What happened to my rights as a consumer who does not want the constant barrage of unwanted annoying calls? It is the calls which have nothing to do with me. I have excellent credit. I don't need help. It is the mindless incessant calls which I have to pay my phone company to block.

Then there are the cell phone calls! They occur more often than the land line calls. My cell phone is for my emergency use only. It is not a 'smart' phone. I have a very limited number of free minutes since I am a single income senior and cannot afford to waste my hard earned money. It's not fair that I have to put up with unlawful people who wish to most likely scam me.

Nomorobo is a great FREE service and it has made a small impact on the unsolicited calls to my home, but I still receive a minimium of 5 calls a day from the same or similar numbers which do not even allow me to speak to a person. Some of them have the nerve to put ME on hold until one of their bottom feeder employees get on the line. Then they are rude and disconnect when I ask a question. It's wrong!

By contacting the FCC I should have the option to BLOCK ALL ROBOCALLS, without having to block specific call numbers. NOMOROBO works effectively, but if the FCC would give its approval, it would be much more effective.

Please make the ability to block Robo calls more readily available to consumers. There should be a way to prevent the telemarkers from calling you at any time of the day, any day of the week, and try to sell you something. It's disruptive (eating dinner, phone rings - infant finally got to sleep, phone wakes up infant - the list goes on and on).

Thanks to NoMoRobo, the number of calls coming through have drastically reduced (only caller ID blocked ones come through now - something I'll fix shortly by blocking called ID blocked calls entirely).

Given the chance, I would love to go one step further and make a device available that plugs into the phone jack which gets updates from the internet on phone numbers which are known telemarkers and block the call right there on the spot. This would allow ANY consumer to block the annoying calls.

With NoMoRobo, it's great because I can 'dual ring' and NoMoRobo intercepts the calls. But not every consumer has access to 'dual ring' capabilities with their phone service.

I pay for phone service and deserve not to be harrassed in my own home. I pay for caller ID, and deserve not to have intrusions by people hiding their identity from me. NoMoRobo (and any other service like it) allows me to retain some control over who invades my home. Telemarketing must be a successful tactic since there is so much of it, but I deserve to exercise my right not to participate. And the scammers who call and prey on vulnerable people are even more important to block. I want my elderly parents not to receive those calls. And call blocking helps. How can any government curtail access to a service that protects the people from harrassment and victimization?

I had Nomorobo with Verizon and it worked beautifully.

I have since changed to Comcast and they restrict its use. You must use "voice to go" app which is for androids and whatever but not your regular phone.

I have compiled a list of hundreds of phone numbers that are used to try and scam me but without using a separate personally purchased call blocker, I'm up the creek trying to prevent these daily calls. I have to block complete area codes to try and minimize such calls.

Nomorobo won a award to prevent such calls but providers only care about revenue. Lets do something that helps stop the millions of daily calls that are trying to separate us from our money.

The DO NOT CALL list is routinely ignored. I pay for the phone service, not these electronic pests, and I shouldn't be forced to confront these unwelcome intruders several times each day. I am tired of telling people not to call - the calls seem to increase exponentially. Robocall blocking is the only tool I have to avoid some of these pests.

It is unbelievable to me that the FCC would consider revising rules to weaken existing restrictions on unsolicited marketing phone calls to a phone line I pay for, such as allowing marketers to call cell phones, or restricting a customer's choice to block such calls by a service such as as NoMorobo. These companies and entities have no right to invade my hard won peace and quiet on my small yet MY piece of the planet. I also have the right, but not the ability to completely disconnect my land line (It's our emergency line only known to our family) - We live in a spotty cell area and our cell phones do not always ring. Before NoMoRobo, even though we were on the national do not call list, we would receive dozens of robo calls a day. Many of those from well known scams. Ironic that we only used the line for family calls once or twice a month.

I have an idea for a great new rule, the marketers can call me all they want, if they pay for our phone line. Deal?

Robocalls are more than just an invasion of privacy --- often they disturb sleep, dinner conversations, and ill people, and tie up phones needed for important calls and emergencies, and they should not be allowed to invade our homes, our refuge from an increasingly noisy and intrusive world, at will.

Robos: put your message on a postcard and leave me my constitutional right to respond or not.

Congress created many loopholes and exceptions in the Do Not Call law and there is little money for vigorous enforcement, even when fraud and scams are involved. Now it seems like every robocall is a "survey" or "opinion poll." Robocall blocking products are extremely effective and "crowdsourcing" keeps the blocking list current. Once again I have gained control of both my landline and cell phone. Please keep and expand this option to all consumers.

I am tired of getting all the phone calls at different times of the day and night. None of these calls have anything to do with us. They are annoying and sometimes the live people get down right nasty when you tell them not to call any more. We should have the right to control who calls and who doesn't call our home or cells. We don't need to spend the time talking or arguing with these companies. Some of the calls are hang ups. A lot of them are from foreign countries, but with American numbers. Us being able to block these numbers have given us peace during the day and night. We should be able to block these kind of calls on our cell phones also. We should be able to find out who is selling our numbers to these companies or people. Please let us have this choice.

I think it is absolutely essential that individuals have the freedom to block robocalls should they desire to do so.

It is always the same recording and the same kind of services that bug me. You never sent me a letter back that you did anything and in the past you told me to sue them personally. It is your job to stop this, not my job to sue people I can't find any info on to sue.

For several months now we have been fortunate to take advantage of the automated call blocking features of nomorobo. This company provides an exceptional service to American citizens, leading the way in preventing unwanted and intrusive robo calls. There is simply no comparable service by telephone company providers as we are aware from direct experience. The FCC should act in the interest of citizens and ensure that telephone companies are mandated to work with nomorobo; the loss or reduction of this service is clearly contrary to the interest of the American public.

Having the option NOT to receive robo calls is a god send! My family can enjoy an uninterrupted meal together, I can work from home knowing that the important calls can get through, I can receive important calls from friends, family and work, not uninvited-sales-political-promotional-disruptive- calls. What a blessing to hear the ring once... and then the spam calls go away.

Leave 'No Robo Call' in place and active. It's popular for a reason! It's good for me and my family. I can't imaging why the phone company finds it threatening. I'm sure that they want the best possible services for their customers, not just for their bottom line.

How would you like your 83 year old mother to have to listen to a man say "F*UCK YOU BITCH" when she asked to have our phone number removed from a call list? These robo-calls with the recorded messages, the click..click...click and then some guy from Vegas reading a script about time share opportunities? Yeah. That's a great start to your day.

I get many calls a day from "CUSTOMER SVCS" a credit card scam and when I try to call them back the number is a non working number.

So, try listening to the people at the other end of the phone instead of the phone companies who love the revenue from these criminal callers.

The Federal Do Not Call list is a joke .... no one pays attention to it and not we have to PAY the phone companies to BLOCK those callers who flood our land lines. Oh yeah, and the ones that call my cell phone, using my minutes?

Why should other people have the right to make my phone ring 24 hours a day seven days a week and 365 days a year, with annoying messages I don't want. I do not want to from politicians, non-profits begging for money I don't have, and a long list of landscapers, roofers, and real estate agents who want to sell my house.

It should be illegal to have a fake phone number on caller-id -

Robocalls need to be outlawed and robocall blocking products should be made readily available. The Do Not Call Registry is a joke. There is no enforcement and no repercussions for violators. My phone number is registered with the Do Not Call Registry, yet I still get 15-20 robocalls per day. Please enforce the Do Not Call Registry and punish violators and enable robocall blocking.

Thank you!

Please help us get rid of these terrible people that generate comupter calls. I get as many as 3 to 5 per day!!!! It is usually a recording that says this is the last time they will give a chance to lower my credit card rate. They call themselves Credit Card Services. That doesn not exist as far as I can find. They also steal phone numbers to call me with. I can not tell who they are by my caller ID phone as the telephone number is alwasys different and when you try to call back to complain the operator report: This telehone number is no longer in service. It is so bad that I looked at my caller ID machine and it was showing my home phone number calling me. When I called back after the spammer finished his recording I got the same thing. This number is no longer in service and it WAS MY PHONE NUMBER!!! Please help stop these computer generated spammers that rob me of my privace. I am 76 years old and do NOT need this agrivation. My congress should be there to protect ME not the SPAMMERS. Why has the FCC refused to help. I have applied to all DO NOT CALL list you provide and none stops this. When I reported it to Better Business Bureau of Seattle they said they knew these calls and could not help but know of hundreds of thousands of people like me calling to complain or and get help!! Please do your job. My cable company does provide Robocall service but not for my phones because I need a second phone with Android and I have Windows. They tell me they can not help this OS so I can't use what others can. They should not have to provide anything. FCC should be able to find out who these peoople are and shut them down.

My telephone numbers are on the National Do Not Call List. I still get two or three robot-calls per day. These nuisances waste my time, interfere with work and social occasions, and many of them are scams. We NEED to fight this problem that degrades the quality of our national telephone communications network.

I've used NoMoRobo. It works, and works very well, unless I happen to be passing a telephone when somebody's machine dials my number and I pick up the phone out of reflex. This happens often enough that I can assure you that the Do Not Call List needs to be supplemented by NoMoRobo.

The telephone companies have a statistical interest in maximizing their call traffic. They don't want anything that filters or limits the number of calls they handle. The public needs the FCC to remind the telephone companies that they exist as businesses to serve the public's interest, and not simply to exist as businesses. This is not an issue beyond the FCC's remit.

Please use your regulatory power to protect the public interest. This would be so much better than getting the legislative branch involved.

If they are legitimate they can send me their information and I can decide if it is necessary for me to use their product or services.

I am a senior who is fortunately still of sound mind. I am incensed by the telemarketing calls which keep coming my way; they are a time-consuming nuisance I have been fighting off for years. Nomorobo and a call blocking phone I purchased lately have helped me tremendously because my long years of complaining to the FCC fell into a "black hole" and led nowhere. For years on end I listed my numbers on the Do not Call list, reported calls to the FCC and paid the phone company so as not to have my phone number listed; unfortunately I discovered these precautionary measures offered absolutely no protection from unsolicited calls. It seems any operator or vendor who gets access to your information can sell it to these telemarketers with little regard for your privacy.

These telemarketers are more often than not predators who are eager to hoodwink seniors and trick them into giving away their precious private information. I venture to say most if not all of the calls are really scams, not merchandise offers. Why call them "telemarketers" when they more often than not peddle services that are "shady" at best? Scammers is the right term for them.

It is easy for a senior who is often alone and eager to talk to someone to fall victim to these telemarketers. I am extremely concerned about protecting seniors in particular and I definitely think the ability to block these callers is an absolute necessity.

Regarding robocalls and calls in violation of the DO NOT CALL list, you should require a centralized web- based search tool in which all phone companies that issue phone numbers are required to list the phone number, their phone company name, the number that you can call the phone company and/or the phone company website to which you can complain. Then, based on complaints to the phone company, you should require the phone company to contact the robocaller and ask them to cease and desist THEN if people continue to complain to that phone company, then authorize the phone company to disconnect the phone number.

I don't like robocalls or the companies that use them to scam the public. They is no way those robocall companies are going to obey the US laws against robocalls. The FCC can't stop them, never even slowed them down. There are only a pitiful few companies that are ever charged with a crime, so basically, they don't worry about prosecution. They don't care if they are breaking the law. They don't care to show their true caller id, instead they universally spoof bogus phone numbers.

The only program that works is nomorobo. If the robocaller companies have their way, they will pay somebody off to get legislation passed to bar nomorobo blocking programs. I hope that doesn't happen, but there is just too much money to be made from helpless individuals bombarded by robocalls at all hours.

FCC, please force telephone companies to block robocalls. Currently, they offer free blocking for a few numbers, but since robocallers spoof caller id, the robocaller just uses a different spoofed number. The phone companies probably make money off the robocalls, so have no interest in changing the status quo. Besides, it would cost them money to implement any change. If forced to block robocalls, phone companies will just pass the cost on to phone users, which is OK with me, because the phone is worthless to me without a robocaller blocker. john and meryl mccullough la habra, ca

It has come to my attention that you are interested in feedback from people about robocalls and robocall blocking products. My experience with the Do Not Call (DNC) list has shown that instrument to be largely ineffective and unable to serve individuals as a protection against nuisance calls. I have used Nomorobo for quite some time and find it far more effective than the DNC list, and I prefer it as an effective, direct block against unwanted calls as opposed to the essentially voluntary-compliance DNC program. I think any attempt by phone companies to dilute or prevent the use of innovative solutions like Nomorobo would be contrary to the best interests of citizens of the United States, and I think these attempts should be prevented by regulatory action.

We would like the FCC to allow consumers to be able to block robocalls. We are paying for our phone and phone service through Verizon. Robo callers should not be able to call us any time day or night with their messages or hang ups. I understand that the the National Association of Attorneys General has written to you and asked the FCC to make robocall blocking solutions "more easily accessible to consumers." I am in favor of this.

We are registered on the "Do Not Call List" with the FCC and it is useless. We ask robo callers to stop calling but they continue to do so.

Please support robocall blocking solutions for consumers.

Thank you.

As part of the "Baby Boomer's" we grew up in a time where people answered there phone in person. There was no one calling and then hanging up (unless it was a prank call) AND certainly there wasn't an automated recording that you were totally defenseless against to be able to get your name removed from a call list. In our homes we should have the right to answer the phone calls that we want to, OR have the ability to tell a real person that we no longer want to hear from their company. Robo call blocking services seem to be the only alternative to this unnerving problem. ca

We were getting inundated with robo/telemarketing calls every day and night and even Sunday evenings that was destroying our family time together. Since we have subscribed to nomorobo this has nearly stopped except for cell phone companies like AT&T that refuse to allow us to use this service.

Even with Time Warner, our home land line phone provider, we had to tell them how to switch our service to technology that would allow us to use it.

Please allow this service to continue and also make it a requirement of all phone services to allow users to opt for this if they want.

Please continue the robocall blocking practice.. It has virtually stop robocalls bothering me all times of the day. We see the blocking is very effective since we see the phone only ring once continually throughout the day and night.. By removing the blocking it would be violating my personal privacy. We're paying the carriers for telephone service and not having solicitation interfering with our private lives.

We already are nickel and dime by all the carriers and can see another marketing ploy to sell our personal information to all the robocall companies. I also feel that robocall blocking should also include all all wireless carriers...

Access to phone numbers is being seriously abused by innumerable parties which ignore the "do not call" regulations. Clearly the existing "do not call" regulations do not work and I feel that pursuing the violators is a waste of time. It would appear that the only way to really stop them is to be provided the means to block their calls. Please require phone carriers to provide consumers with the ability to block robocallers. I feel that the cost and effort to provide this technology would be returned many times over in a reduction of scams brought about on consumers.

I get many unwanted robocalls a day on most days -- most of them from one vendor who has been calling me repeatedly for over a year. They are a very distracting waste of time, whether I answer them or they end up filling up my inbox. And since my phone service includes a limited number of minutes for incoming calls, those unwanted calls eat up precious minutes that I don't want to use that way.

I have asked the vendor multiple times to take me off their call list, but they will not do that.

I am registered on the Do Not Call list, but they just hang up whenever I ask for this. Please allow me to continue to block these calls. AND PLEASE ENFORCE THE LAW THAT PROHIBITS THEM FROM CALLING ME.

I am an AT&T telephone customer and have been so for over 19 years. For those 19 years, I have kept the same landline telephone number out of convenience for myself and those with whom I have chosen to share the number. My number is unlisted and I am on the national Do Not Call list.

Having a telephone in my home allows me to contact the outside world for pleasure and/or necessity, and for those with whom I have given the number to contact me. It shouldn't be a device for intrusion into an individual's private domain by computers or companies generating sales calls. I, therefore, strongly support my right to have and use any legitimate product available to block these calls.

Please do not allow ANYONE to force me to allow robocalls to get through to me.

Telemarketing calls (and especially robocalls) have been restricted for several years by means of the "do not call" list. I have been on this list for a long time, but I continue to receive these annoying calls. The simple reason is that the government (not sure if it's FTC or FCC) doesn't enforce the law, and companies continue to make these calls with impunity. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE!!.

Fortunately for the public, Nomorobo has been created to reduce or eliminate the plague of unwanted calls. The developers and operators of Nomorobo should be thanked rather than be restricted by the government. They are providing a necessary service to fill the gap created by the government's lack of enforcement.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

I choose to allow family, friends and workmates to call me on my phones. I do not choose to allow any person who has an agenda to use my telephone to harass, annoy or bother me. I do not pay my phone bill to allow any company to conduct a survey. I do not pay my phone bill to allow a political party to try and persuade me to vote for them as I am capable and intelligent enough to be able to make my own decisions. I do not pay my phone bill to allow any individual or entity to fulfill their personal agenda or make money on my dime.

Respectfully,

I was getting robocalls at the rate of two or three every couple of days. It was almost to the point that I was going to cut off my land-line. When I found out that robocall blocking was available, I signed up immediately. For the first couple of weeks, I received many single ring calls signifying a robocall. After that it ime they dwindled to almost none. Now I get less than one a month. Nomorobo has made my time at home much more relaxing.

Please stop all the robocalls they keep coll comming I am on the do-not call list but the calls keep comming. And at times the caller ID tell me that I am calling myself. Also force all company to list the Name and a correct phone number that we can call back. Please stop a robocalls.

Also have the company have a person on the line. When I pickup the phone and have to say Hello 4 to 6 times before a recorder telles me to hold to the next person.

Robocalls are very annoying and need to be stopped. Some of them cannot be picked up and asked to be removed from the call list. When I answer, no one is there. My phone may ring 10 to 15 times in a single day.

If there is someone to talk to, they are rude when asked to be removed from their list. Nomorobo is a help, but even this still rings one time. There needs to be something done to stop these calls. If I am interested in something, I will call them.

NOMOROBO is wonderful. I pay for my phone and I should be the one in control of it. Before I signed up with NOMOROBO we could not watch TV or enjoy an evening at home without the constant ringing of the telephone. With nomorobo the phone rings one time and that is it. I do not want any robo calls on my phone. The calls that need to come through does. Thank you

I get so tired on telemarketers calling me. I had one number call me 4 times in one day, and they kept calling me everyday for weeks. I pay for the phone and for the use of it, BY ME, not for them to drive me crazy. I'm 70 years old and have to live on SS, so I don't have the money to buy anything from them anyway. If I don't call them back wouldn't you think they would get the message that I don't want to talk to them or buy what their trying to sell me, and stop calling. And that "no call list" is a joke, they don't even look at it.

I got many many robocalls all day every day. I work from home and it was very distracting but there was no way to stop them. At first I answered and asked to be taken off their lists but that's when they'd hang up. One jerk even said "No, that's never gonna happen." They spoof numbers, now I even get calls that say they are from me. I need the phone so my home office can reach me during work hours so it was a guessing game to decide if an incoming call was legit or not. I found Nomorobo and that all stopped. Everyone should be able to block the scam calls, the robo political calls and yes, even the calls from charities with help from their phone company. A lot of people work from home these days and we should have a legitimate way to block any call(s) we don't want instead of being at the mercy of scam artists with robot dialers, we pay for the phone service but the crooks have all the rights. We need Nomorobo abilities for ANY phone with any carrier.

I had used the do no call mechanism provided by the government but I still was receiving numerous junk calls each day. Many of the calls were automated and came from outside the US. Since I started using "NoMoRobo", the calls have dropped to almost zero, and the ones that do get through, once I report the number to "NoMoRobo", that number no longer gets through. The telemarketers, as well as those who pretend to be IRS agents threatening to arrest me, have become more and more aggressive, and without a mechanism to stop these callers, we would be forced to drop our phone line.

My wife & I have been retired for nearly seven years. In the first few years of retirement we would get at least 5 nuisance calls per day and one or two scam calls per week. It was ridiculous. We would have to drop what we were doing to check caller ID to see if we wanted to pick up and we had to waste time erasing unwanted messages. NoMorerobocalls has saved me a great deal of aggravation and time by eliminating most of these unwanted calls. I think I have as much right or even more right to block these unwanted calls to my home and the callers have no right to harass me! Do not listen to the phone companies that are only concerned with their profits and not my peace of mind.

Stop with the robocalls. Please send a message to these interlopers of privacy that their calls aren't welcome. These are simply fast-buck predators trying to take advantage of anyone they happen to catch at a weak moment to sell their unmitigated crap.

This country would be better off without these jerks intruding in our lives. What really upsets me is the fact that telephone companies support them. These telcoms must be making a fortune to support such a slimy, industry.

Where is the commonsense ins allowing these unwelcome and intrusive idiots to call our homes at any hour and several times a day in some cases? Where is the concern for OUR privacy? Where is the outrage over this band of scam artists who are allowed to function without regulatory limits and no disregard for the word "NO!" ?

Please do the right thing. Allow greater use of robocall blocking products. We need robocall blocking systems to leash the unleashed.

We were getting between 10 to 15 telephone calls a day from all types of call centers attempting to force their products, services or whatever. These calls were a nuisance. I called them " garbage calls". The calls started were anywhere between 7:00am and 9:00pm, mostly Monday thru Friday. The call were extremely irritating. At first I used the "call block" on my phone to reduce the volume. This ment I needed to program each number into the phone system in order to block each call. I could only block 30 numbers at a time and soon was out of space. Using Nomorobo solved my problem. Now I only get one ring to let me know a call was blocked. This is a great service to have available. I believe that older people are targeted. My sons & daughter do not receive the volume my wife and I receive.

Robocalls were wreaking havoc with my phone and my answering machine was tied up with robotic or alarming messages regarding credit card offers, overdue taxes or "missed opportunities" . Many of these calls came during the hectic hour before, during, or after meal times. Even though I am registered with and have reported these callers to the Not Call Registry, these types of calls continued to get through.

Now with a robocall blocking product like nomorobo, these calls are blocked. This service blocks the call after one ring. Just in the first week of using this service, the number of robocalls dropped dramatically, from six or more a day to about 2 or less a day.

This service is especially needed for the senior members of our family since some of them have been victims of the so called "services".

I hate robocalls and I want a good robocall blocking product. Invariably these calls interrupt a meal, wake up an invalid in our home or generally irk the life out of me. They disregard the DNC list and do not honor your request to put you on their list. This is my home and they are not invited into it by telephone or any other method.

In addition, my 81 year old aunt was scammed out of $2000 by one of these calls at her home. She was totally unaware of how these work and wired them $2000. They told her not to call and tell anyone or they couldn't send her the million dollars she had won. When they called her asking for more she called me because they said they were sending someone to her to take her to the bank to get more money. I called the police and went to her home immediately. She lives on Social Security and could not afford this. It is criminal. Now she lives in fear every time her phone rings because she doesn't know if she should answer it.

Please do any and everything you can do to help this kind of swindling and scamming be eliminated. I would be the first to purchase any thing or work at trying to help others eliminate them.

They also will hang up on you when you tell them that you are on the "Do Not Call" and that it is illegal for them to call your number. Also, when I try to put a phone block on the number that is call a message come on that I can not block that number.

I really dislike having someone call me three to five times a week telling me that there is nothing wrong with my credit card account but their company thinks they could offer me a lower rate, and then give me an option of opting out by pressing 2 which doesn't do a thing. They are calling me again in just days. I really dislike having robo calls using my paid for minutes on my cell phone. I really dislike having companies sell my cellphone number to advertising agencies. If I want to purchase something I'll Google it and then make a decision. Do not call my phone any more. I have not and will not buy because you called me to advertise something.

I love the ability to be able to block the nuisance calls that occur at the most aggravating times of the day.They don't allow you the ability to say NO, LEAVE ME ALONE. I demand the right to stop any type of call from my phones. I can't even call the number,( If I get one,) back to have them stop. I have tried and the system tells me that the number is not in service or it does not exist. At it's very base allowing these types of calls is JUST WRONG. I know I didn't sign up for this when I got service from BELL years ago. No one has the right to interrupt my private time and life with garbage calls. Please do not take that right away from US.

Robocalls are destroying the peace and quiet in my home. My wife was recently sick at home in bed, trying to sleep and rest. we had to unplug the land line because of the several Robo calls we were receiving. During an election season, we were routinely receiving 10 robocalls each day for 2 months. we are seriously considering eliminating our land line. We have been on the federal "no call list" for several years and it really doesn't stop the robocalls at all. For seniors like me who can't jump up to the phone easily, this is also a health risk. Enough is enough!

We had been tortured by two to five "robocals" daily. We don't care to " reduce our credit card debt", "enjoy a free visit to the Bahamas", "Hello seniors..." et al. We don't care to be reminded that we are 84 and 89 - nor no longer able to travel!

NOMOROBO has been a godsend - we get around 3 robocalls per week - now. No perfect but bearable.

Until a more effective way is found to stop these calls please put nothing in the way of the spread of NOMOROBO and do all possible to extend its adoption.

If adoption increases enough it may reach a tipping point where robocalls will prove uneconomical and cease.

If you think robocalls are a good idea, please provide your phone number to one of these companies and see how long it takes for you to start getting dozens of calls per day from them trying to sell you something or to complete a survey.

I would seriously vote for President the person who could stop unwanted calls from coming into my house. It would be the number one priority on my list. I hate having my privacy invaded. I hate having the same people calling my house over and over again. It doesn't matter if I answer or don't answer. It doesn't matter that I ask them to take me off of their calling list. It doesn't matter that they say they will ..... because they don't and they keep calling. It's my house, I should be able to say who comes in whether by the door or by the phone. Nomorobo has added a great deal to my life by blocking calls. I should be able to block all calls I don't want to receive. I feel the phone company should offer free call blocking and not just for 20 phone numbers. Meanwhile, my list of 20 is full and the telemarketers are calling from different numbers. This is a huge annoyance for me and I don't understand why there isn't something that the phone companies can do to help stop this practice. Thank God for Nomorobo, but I need even more control of who is calling me.

The constant robocalls we get - up to 10 a day is nothing! - has made it necessary for us to not answer our telephone. BUT we still have to listen to them to see if could really be someone we want/need to talk to.

The overwhelming majority of callers hang up when they find out that they are talking to an answering machine. It does not make them stop though, they just keep on calling, and calling, and calling from the same phone number and hanging up time and again, I guess in the hope that a live person may actually answer the phone by accident and then buy their product/service. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AT OUR HOUSE.

In addition it seems these callers are making money on selling phone numbers or we would never get this many unwanted calls.

Robocalls are an ongoing annoyance and there really is no reason for this except that this harassment of the public is allowed by you. PLEASE MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO PUT A STOP TO ROBOCALLS - and don't make any yourself. Political robocalls are no more wanted than those of folks who want make money off us to .

If the FCC had any sense of responsibility to the individual at all, robocalls would be illegal, period. Since you don't and they're not, you should at least mandate the availability of robocall blocking mechanisms to all telephone subscribers.

We signed up for a Robocall blocking service, NomoRobo, a couple of years ago and it has been wonderful. It doesn't stop every solicitation but it does stop many of the frustrating calls that if you pick up have no one there for 10 seconds and then someone comes on who says "Hello Mr. ... uh... " and proceeds to mispronounce your last name.

The phone companies claim blocking robo calls can't be done, but NomoRobo demonstrates that not only can it be done it IS being done. I applaud them for saying phone companies should offer this service. It is not in their self interest, it is just true.

Telemarketing has gotten out of control. They call at all times of the day and evening, and some even call multiple times a day. As someone who telecommutes from home, it is not only irritating, but it costs me money in lost time and reduced productivity.

Even if I don't answer the calls, the incessant ringing breaks my concentration and makes me lose my train of thought. Answering and requesting they take me off their list is a waste of time. Most either don't honor the request, or they hang up just as I start asking them so they can claim they didn't hear me.

Also, your No Call List doesn't really work. Some telemarketers even laugh when I mention I am on the list.

Enter call blocking technology like Nomorobo. Thank all that is holy! While my phone still rings many times a day, it rings only once before the system hangs up on them. After a few months of having the service, it actually rings a bit less as SOME telemarketers have started to give up. At this point, if it wasn't for Nomorobo, I think I might have lost it.

If telemarketers are going to continue to flaunt the laws, and phone companies are going to continue to allow it, consumers must be allowed access to products that empower them to defend their privacy, serenity and sanity.

Robocall blocking is essential. Before using the block I was tortured all day with telemarketing calls. As I goggled numbers many were associated with scams. They call nonstop without regard to time of day. I had filled my caller ID limit of 30 and was still pestered by as many as 15-20 calls a day to my unlisted phone number when I found no more robo. I finally have peace. I pay for the phone and should have the right to then control its use. Eliminating this will not give these people more business as I will never buy from them. It will not increase business for the phone company as if this is prevented I will be forced to no longer keep a home phone. If you can't understand the torture of the American public who is the one paying for the phone purchase and use then consider how you would feel if we called you at home whenever we choose to in order to discuss this with you.

It is incomprehensible to me that in this country, I have no sensible, effective way to stop this invasion of my privacy and growing waste of my time. I pay a lot of money for the use of my phone!

Who are you to tell me that others have a right to come into my home uninvited via my phone line? I can lock my doors, I can lock my windows, I can lock my gate; but, you say, I can't lock my phone???

I put my name and number on the so-called DO NOT CALL list; a list that you don't even bother to enforce (I've made hundreds of complaints).

It seems to me that the "do not call" law was never meant to be enforced; it's only purpose: keep US LITTLE GUYS quiet!

You no longer look out for the public. As an example, take the proliferation of pornographic programs and advertisements on TV.

I would like to be the one to decide which phone call I receive . Every day I spend half the day answering my phone for calls that do not concern me at all ! I am now getting calls that the caller ID says is from my own phone number . Anyone knows you can not call your own phone number . The first few times I would pick it up and it would be from someone selling insurance to Senior Citizens saying it was from me .

I sometimes turn off my phones which makes me miss some very important calls . This is no longer as option for me . Since I am retired it makes for a crazy day and I would like to have my phone back as it was years ago .No more Rbocalls . PLEASE!!!!!!!

Since installing Nomorobo, the nuisance robotic calls have gone down considerably and has given us some peace. Robo calls should be against the law because there is no way to report them when you are on the No Call list. Unethical companies use robo calls to bypass that law. It is past time that the FCC goes after nuisance and Robo calls and fine companies that use them to bypass the law that says they can't call people on the No Call list. Robo call blocking products are now our only way to get some peace in our homes.

It got to the point where 95% of the calls we received on our home phone line were from robocallers. The "do not call" registry is a complete waste of time, there are far too many unscrupulous people out there who simply ignore it. Nomorobo was a brilliant idea, I immediately signed up for it when I heard about it, and it had an immediate impact.

As great as an idea that it was though, it shouldn't even have been necessary for someone to have to do this, had phone companies been providing proper service to their customers. It should be up to me who calls me, and I urge the FCC to force phone companies to get their act together on this matter.

Is there no logic in the world? I have a phone to contact people that I want to talk with. But I have to put up with call after call from solicitors and spoofed phone numbers. When they call my cell phone, I have to pay because I have a pay for use cell phone. Why can't we prevent hiding the number calling us? Why can't we block robocalls? I have received and reported to the FCC or was it the FTC many calls from a phony credit card scam.

We have used NoMoRobo on our land line and it has been very effective. Not only do we very much want to keep it, but we would like to have it on our cell phones. We are getting calls with fake numbers (and area codes) shown, when we answer, we hear the phone ringing for someone to try to sell us something we don't want - most likely trying to commit Medicare fraud. As soon as we hear the call TO us ringing, we immediately hang up. Also, no more Rachel on our land line, but still getting "her" on our cell phones. The FCC can and should help.

90 % of all household calls to our home are robocalls. You might think that's no problem. Just don't answer them. We tried that, but the calls don't stop, and the phone rings constantly, at times that are disruptive to our life. Most of these calls have been persistently ringing (we see the same name/numbers repeatedly) for over two to three years. We hate being home. I'm retired from a 35 year job and would like to enjoy my retirement, but that is near impossible. I can't even take a nap. The horrible irony is my funds are limited, and at this stage in my life I have no desire to purchase anything. That's what drives me crazy with these calls, we are being tortured.We are at the end of finding a single good reason not to cancel our land line.

I believe that the public should have the option of being able to have the robo calls blocked. It is an intrusion into our lives. We have a family member in our home who is very ill and requires almost constant attention and care. These calls are quite frankly a nuisance and disruptive. If I am in need of a product or service, I can certainly make a phone call all by myself to obtain the necessary quantity. Please permit the robocall blocking products to continue.

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 3168 of 5002

I am continuously harassed by robocalls. The telephone numbers that show up on caller ID are spoofed and therefore there is no way to predict what is and is not a legitimate phone call. I have been on the no call list for years and to no avail. These calls are not from charities or other organizations permitted under the do not call list. They are rude, sometimes downright threatening and their frequency is increasing. We need to stop this practice as soon as possible.

I can tell you that things like Nomorobo are a godsend to people with hardline phones. While I consider myself fairly savvy, I am sure many of our seniors are being taken advantage of by companies using robocall methods. Many of these calls are masked with fake names and numbers (just like e-mail spam), therefore the do not call list is not effective anymore. Please do not take any action that will make me lose Nomorobo, as this will force me to cancel my hardline phone as the last resort.

My home phone service, AT&T, allowed me to sign up for Nomorobo. It has worked like magic to stop the robot callers and hang-ups I was receiving daily, and at all hours of the day! My cell phone provider (Sprint) doesn't allow robocall blocking services.

Nomorobo WORKS to stop the annoyance robot or hang-up calls that were coming through, despite my being on Indiana's NO CALL LIST. My parents receive no fewer than 6 calls a day and their service provider (Comcast) won't allow Nomorobo to stop these disruptions to their activities at home. PLEASE, please, force the phone companies to collaborate with the organizations that can block these illegal and extremely annoying phone calls. Most are scams. The legitimate businesses are operating illegally when they ignore the NO CALL LIST as they prospect for gullible buyers of their products or services.

Thank you for keeping consumers safe from harrassment, fraud and worse, by forcing them to allow robocall blockers if consumers request them.

Robocalls are a real pain and there should be some way to block them. They call at all hours and won't take no for an answer.

Please assist us in stopping the automated phone calls. We routinely receive 3-5 calls daily. Sometimes I ignore than ringing. Others times, I answer after repeated calls from the same number and tell them not to call anymore. The response is usually silence

I have registered with the "DO NOT CALL" service three times to no avail. The calls continue unabated. One telemarketer even exclaimed after I finally answered that I was harder to catch than a jackrabbit. Can you imagine? Because I do not want to be harassed by a telemarketer, I am compared to an animal. Hmmm. How to make friends and influence people. Enough is enough.

There is no legitimate reason to prohibit a consumer from disallowing robocalls -- that is, mass marketing calls.

As robocall companies do not contribute to consumers telephone service, there can be no sensible argument made that they have a right to use the consumers telephone line to present advertisements.

Nothing is more annoying than robocalls. In the last two weeks the number of such calls to my phone have increased to two or three calls per day.

Since I am subscribed to nomorobo, those calls have been intercepted and saved me from wasted time and energy. I believe all carriers should provide such a service to its customers. james benson bogota, nj

After years of fending off hundreds of annoying "robocalls," having a way to block them has been a huge relief to my household. The calls used to invade the peaceful enjoyment of home, at all hours of the day, especially dinner-time! So many companies ignore "do not call" registries that we need a method to block them out pro-actively. We can lock our doors, and install security systems, to keep people out of our homes. We need the same ability to protect ourselves from unwanted invasion of our communications. Please help us.

I really appreciate Nomorobo blocking calls--I hope it continues to block scammers in the future. I'm tired of being pestered by scam calls even though I have a private number. Time Warner doesn't differentiate between advertisers and scammers and I live in a senior community. Several of my elderly neighbors have been scammed out of thousands of dollars. Nomorobo could have spared them. Nomorobo is sorely needed in the future and saves my neighbors and I from being scammed.

Not being able to deny robocalls is encroaching on my rights ... my right to sleep in the mornings without having a phone awaken me. My right to have a meal without being interrupted or watch a TV show without having to miss any portion of it. The biggest thing beyond the undeniably irritating phone calls (mostly from politicians or credit card companies) is that yes, the interrupt what I am doing, and they are also wasting their time. I refuse to listen to them. I hang up as soon as I realize I've been "robo-dialed!" The only way to avoid them is to put my phone on "do not disturb" thereby also blocking calls from my family and friends. I won't vote for the politician who wakes me up at 8:00 a.m. and I don't need to lower my interest rates ... and will not accept the "free" emergency alert button. I just want my PRIVACY and PEACE AND QUIET back!

The robocalls were so intrusive, I contracted with Time Warner to block all incoming calls with the exception of those who were identified and those I identified as acceptable. This was an unnecessary expense of time and money to bring my life back to homeostasis. If it were not for NOMOROBO, I would not have blocked as many calls as I attempted to with Time Warner.

Please, Americans lives are too precious to be spent dealing with those who do not honor the federal "Do Not Call" list. The fact that these individuals can illegally interrupt our lives with impunity reflects very negatively on the Congress of the United States.

I don't see why I can add my numbers to the Do Not Call lists but may be denied the right to block robocallls. These robocalls are more frequent and equally as annoying.

I should have the right to stop any entity that wants to auto--dial every single number in a given exchange and randomly annoy myself and every person in that exchange.

Nomorobo did not attach itself to my numbers on it's own, I was told of them by a friend who explained how it worked and I jumped at the chance to use their service.

That single ring I hear now followed by glorious silence has become music to my ears that tells me Nomorobo is active and protecting my sanity.

Donotcall.gov is the Federal Trade Commission website to stop robocalls. Why should I get numerous phone calls from the same phone #, but use a different title each time. Also the robocallers are able to show the phone # calling is "1" and not the area code and phone#. Before Nomorobo we would get as many as 10 calls a day. When I asked some of the people who called "if they looked at the do not call list" they all said "No". These robocalls are harassment and I shouldn't have to deal with them when I don't want or need them. Some have been very vulgar and many are from overseas. Please help us. Thank you.

I have been so disappointed in my government. I signed up on the Do Not Call List when it was first established. And in the beginning it worked. And then it began not to.

I thought there were laws preventing unwelcome callers, and so I dutifully reported each unwanted caller. But nothing happened. It became a demonstration of the ineffectiveness of the government, and particularly the FCC.

And then we found NoMoRobo.com. Finally, peace at home in our time. NoMoRobo has stopped over 90% of the robo-calls to our home. I know this because we still get one ring, and then it goes to NoMoRobo. The ratio of those one-rings to the telemarketers that still get through is more than 9:1. AND robo-calls that I DO WANT still get through, eg., the pharmacy notifying me that a prescription is ready. AND it’s FREE.

All hail NoMoRobo.

But there is so much farther that this could go. While this works on my home Verizon FIOS system, my understanding is that ATT Wireless is keeping NoMoRobo from working, and whereas telemarketing calls on my wireless have previously been small, annoying they have begun to increase also.

It seems incredible to me that the FCC would even consider a proposal from the phone companies asking to stop companies that block robo-calls. REALLY!! The FCC cannot do it's own job with the Do Not Call List enforcement, and now they might consider stopping private companies from doing that by giving in to huge phone companies. Just exactly who is the FCC trying to represent??

NOMOROBO is the best thing that ever happened to the phone business. Your DO NOT CALL" list did not do the job. It failed because I could not block the numbers that I wanted to. So Stay out of my business and leave NOMOROBO along. They are doing exacting what the users want. Your organization needs to learn from them on how to block calls that come at 8 to 10 pm west coast time, They come through with titles as "anonymous with no number to trace. How good is that. As noted your Do NOT CALL cannot accommodate this through your feature. .

My wife and I are in our 70s and we get someplace between 5 and 12 robo calls a day. It's unfortunate that we would have to answer these calls before we saw a piece on the Atlanta news about nomorobo. Since then we are now at peace most of the time. We still receive a few calls, maybe 2 or 3 a day that we would like to filter out but thank goodness we smile and say 'thank you nomorobo everytime the phone rings only once'.

The do-not-call list simply doesn't work. I've filed hundreds of complaints over the past 10 years against the same scammers who keep calling me regarding credit card scams, PC virus removal schemes, Florida land sales, and a host of other schemes. And while I'm fighting these calls, and dutifully filling out complaint forms, the Government sits in their offices and eats donuts, rather than seek out and punish these scammers. The only thing that has worked is Nomoromo -- my calls have been reduced by over 95%, and the ones I still receive ring once and disappear. Now I hear that the FCC is considering making the blockage of these calls illegal. Well, that's simply BS. I'm not willing to go back and rely upon the Government's Do Not Call non-solution.

As a retired senior citizen, nomorobo has been nothing short of a lifesaver. Imagine your phone ringing 10-15 (some days more) times a day with calls from scam artists and collections agencies looking for people you don't know. The callers never give up; when you ask them to stop calling they are often times extremely rude and will tell you there is nothing that can be done about the calls. Nomorobo has returned sanity to our days. No need to even bother with the phone unless and until it rings more than once. It's like have a private secretary screen your calls. Depending on your service provider, you may not be able to use nomorobo. Everyone deserves to have the right to peace of mind and privacy in their own home. Please consider legislation that would make many lives more peaceful.

Robocall blocking products are the only thing that has been able to deal with the illegal calls. Until the FCC is able to stop illegal robocalls, they should not even consider preventing me from having robocall blocking products available for me to use.

I've installed a spam blocker on my cell phone but the calls still ring although marked as spam. Yeah, one can choose to ignore but at work it's annoying. At home when I had ATT Uverse one could block 20 numbers, not enough to cover the number of robocalls. When I converted to ATT regular home service after getting Charter for internet, it doesn't provide the ability to block numbers.

In my humble opinion every phone service should include the ability to block an unlimited number of numbers. I'd even pay a bit more for the service. That way people have a choice of which numbers to accept; those who want the services offered by robocall providers can get them and leave the rest of us in peace.

We were constantly bombarded by annoying robocalls. I had signed us up on the Do Not Call registry, but still continually were harassed by these calls, soliciting for all kinds of products & contributions. We must have received multiple hundreds of calls that were our "last chance to lower your credit card interest rate". I only wished those were the last chance.

I would file complaints on these calls on the Registry's website several times a week. After getting a call that the caller ID stated was from MYSELF, i searched online to see how common that scam was. it was on that search that we heard of "Nomorobo". I wasted no time in signing up our phone on Nomorobo. What a blessed relief! Now we get virtually no more calls & only suffer through the 1 ring it takes before Nomorobo redirects the call to the cyber void. I only wish there was a way to make even that 1 ring go away.

Action to stop robocalls must be a priority. During the last campaign we had to stop answering the phone due the almost certainty that any call was a robocall. Even between campaigns, organizations are using robocall systems to mislead seniors into purchasing a wide variety of services and equipment which is not needed. The robocall problem could actually result in missing an urgent call from a friend or family member because the only way to avoid them is to not answer the phone.

Nomorobo has dramatically decreased the number of nuisance calls my family and I receive at our home number. Services like Nomorobo enable us to retain our number and a public directory listing for critical communications in emergencies and from businesses and others who have a legitimate need to contact us when no other options are available. Unsolicited sales calls are a nuisance, and allowing them will deter us from retaining our publicly listed number. Please support our right to keep unwanted calls off of our critical phone line!

I keep trying to sign up for Nomorobo, only to find it doesn't work with Comcast internet telephone. Isn't Comcast the largest broadband company in the U.S.?

I report these calls to donotcall.gov, and I can assure you that government service is a joke. All one has to do is put the robo phone numbers into Google Search, and find all kinds of complaints about the calls. I've reported known consumer scam calls to donotcall, but they still keep rolling in.

My phone # has been unlisted for years and years. I don't even know how they get my number to robo call. But they do, and they run scams.

Without NoMoRobo's blocking service I was interrupted twice a day with bull crap, now I have found some peace, finally.

Now it's down to 1 a week or so. Nothings perfect.

Since corporate America owns you & all the politicians, I'm sure you hate that idea, but I paid for my phones. I pay for the connection. I paid taxes on both. Wasn't that enough? Why should I be subjected to harassment? Is it because I'm a consumer? Maybe I should stop that!

THANK GOD for this service cause after 43 complaints about the government's useless "Do Not Call List" I found something that actually works, and it's not the one my tax dollars already went to. Surprise!

Robocalls are nothing short of harassment. I'm tired of being called constantly with no way to stop it. Some company called Consumer Services keeps calling me, sometimes several times a day telling me that there's nothing wrong with my credit card account but that I could save money using their service. This has been going on for years. They will not stop calling and they call from multiple numbers. This is just one example. I two or three unwanted calls per day, and most of them are robocalls.

I am 71 years old and get tons of Robocalls. And I am tired of it. Calls that come twice a day for weeks and never stop. Waiting for me to pick up and legitimize the number. No one answers when I do say hello.

I either try and block it. (only block up to 20 numbers) or use blocking software to let it ring once and then know it is a telemarketer or robocall.

Your Donotcall system is useless. The calls come from redirecting numbers. From ID names that are being used to get you to pick up. Or they claim they are exempt because they are a charity organization.

Robocalls are more than merely annoying, especially when they happen several times a day, even from the same company. I have pressed whatever number they say to press in order for them not to call me anymore, but they continue to call.

Why should companies be allowed to inconvenience consumers when they have computers set up to do the calling and aren't being inconvenienced at all? It's ridiculous. It's my phone and my time that's being wasted.

Not only that, but I am disabled. When I have to hurry to answer the phone, it's incredibly aggravating to answer it, only to be yakked at by a computer.

I don't think robocalls should permitted, whether they are from profit-seeking companies trying to drum up business, organizations conducting surveys, or politicians. Robocalls should be limited to organizations that indisputably serve the interests of those they are calling, e.g. schools making emergency announcements to families of the students. I feel very strongly about this issue - it should be a fundamental right that I can control what comes into my house or over my device(s). Please do the right thing.

How do you feel when you've just sat down to dinner, and your phone starts ringing? And then when you answer, a recording asks YOU to wait for THEM when THEY were the ones to interrupt you in the first place. Pretty annoying, right? Well, triple or quadruple your reaction, and you've got how my husband and I feel about it. It's absolutely ridiculous that we have a federal no-call list (which is also no longer working as it should, by the way), but we have no way to block those stupid, annoying "Please hold for a phone call you didn't even make and probably don't really want" calls. PLEASE, if there's anything that can be done about them, let's do it! I've been subscribed to the nomorobo service for a few months now, and I've been VERY happy that my phone is ringing a lot less. I will be very Unhappy if services like these get overridden by phone companies and vendors who don't even have the courtesy to put a live person on the phone when they try to call me.

My mother who lives at home with my father has dementia. They would get about 10 calls per day for solicitations and numerous calls for my mother that she won the lottery. At one point I had to have her calls forwarded to my phone to protect my mother against fraud and spending thousands of dollars that she couldn't afford on donations. Since we have implemented the block on robocalls, we have significantly reduced the number of calls.

I can't even tell you how many times a day I myself rushed to get the phone only to find it was a recording to reduce my debt. Last chance the recording said, but it continued for months. I asked to be taken off the list, but they were rude and said no guarantees. I will just have to answer the phone and hang up if not interested.

Please support the blocking of robocalls. The only other option is to get rid of our phone numbers that we have had for years and keep our wireless numbers unlisted.

I detest getting any type of robocall. Often these are from companies that seem legitimate but are not and will often change their phone number periodically if I attempt to block a specific phone number. It is MY phone number. I have paid for it. I expect to be allowed to manage who can call me.

My payment should not be taken as an open invitation to badger, sell and annoy me and my family at all hours of the day and night. They try to make it sound like they know you personally, by "trying" to use your first name, as if that would get you to listen. Thank God the election is over!!! I was getting upwards of 5 robo calls a day to vote for that specific person running for office. When they really got to me I'd just click the phone on then off, just to make the ringing STOP.

Robocalls are incessant and are a huge pain. They call several times a day several days a week. Often coming from overseas trying to scam credit card numbers or gain access to computer systems (tech support scams). Please stop them. Nomorobo works, it blocks them from calling me. Problem is not every phone company supports Simultaneous Ring which is what allows Nomorobo to work. EVERY phone company and phone technology CAN support this, problem is most phone companies WILL NOT implement it unless they are forced to. Yes, POTS will support it and just about every other new feature that phone companies say is "unsupported" They just need to re-program their switches to allow it. Take a stand and stop robocalls. Stopping them will be a step toward stopping fraud and scams which is what most Robocalls are.

If a call does manage to get through, I can request to have it added to the database. The do not call list is a waste. It only affects legitimate businesses, not the crooks who continually call. I love it and have recommended it to everyone I know. My brand of phone has a call block setting on it. It only can block 30 numbers and my Verizon phone service only does 5 numbers. Every month without Nomorobo, I was having to dump some numbers so I could block the new ones, only to have the old ones start calling again. This is MY phone line that I PAY for I should have a choice in how I want to use it. Please don't take this great program away.

Calls from telemarketers on my home phone and cell phone is getting out of hand. I've registered on the Do Not Call List and it does little good. I have had some success with using NOMOROBO and call blocking on my cell phone to limit the number of call I get everyday. But the telemarketers are too smart and spoof the phone numbers that appear which they keep changing. Telemarketers are invading my privacy and cause great inconvenience each time I answer the phone only to get no one on the other end. I feel a crime is being committed and the FCC is helpless in stopping it. How would you like to be called by a robo telemarketer 10 times a days at all hours? There has got to be something that the FCC can initiate to help resolve the problem (like force every phone carrier to have a process by which a phone subscriber can block all rebo calls and unsolicited telemarketers.

Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 am and 12:00 pm my mother receives about 13 robocalls, that is only noon. Until 7 pm I am picking up the phone and hanging it up. I no longer respond to these calls at all. They are a true annoyance to home life. I can not even block these calls through the phone company. Do something to dismantle to this destructive behavior of these marketers. They are same numbers each day. Sometimes the same numbers will dial our home up to five time a day.

If it weren't for nomorobo, I would have had my phone disconnected. I'm paying for a phone only to let the phone company sell access to my private life to anyone that wants to sell something. I signed up for every Do Not Call list, but its apparent that there is no government backing for this program as everyone simply ignores it.

I called AT&T to demand they fix the unsolicited and was told the FCC did not allow that. I then asked them to disconnect my phone. I was finally transferred to an individual who said he understood and he told me about nomorobo. He said AT&T was working on something but since they are working both sides, it probably would not happen.

They use the FCC as an excuse not to provide a reasonable service. Now they are using the FCC to prevent other private companies from fixing their scams? Knock it off! I realize the big companies are paying lots of money to get their way, but the FCC is supposed to protect us all, not just the big corporations.

I firmly believe that robocalls are a violation of my privacy and should be against the law under all circumstances. I use a robocall blocker on my VOIP line, and think it is one of the greatest inventions since Alexander Graham Bell made the first call.

Absolutely, without question, robocall blockers are a necessity in this age where being on the "Do Not Call" list is virtually worthless. At the very least, I have cut down my carpet cleaning calls to one a day.

My home and cell phones have been registered on the "Do Not Call" list since its' inception. Initially it seemed to reduce the incidence of unsolicited and robo (spam) calls. However, it has become increasingly LESS effective over time. It is not unusual to receive 2-3 calls per day. Since my conversion to IP based phone service (2011) I've received MANY one-ring calls with no actual connection, all of them displaying invalid or spoofed numbers. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. It should be disallowed by law and the penalties should be draconian for both the callers and the sponsors.

Me, my family, friends and anyone else i speak with; think robocalls, also cold calls from charities, local merchants and politicians are extremely intrusive and detrimental to our personal rights and quality of life. Callers are almost always nasty, argumentative, or just hang up while you are asking them not to call again. also calls start in the AM. and continue into the late evening...(4-5-6) times a day.. sometimes more. My wife and I are senior citizens (70/75) with health issues. Lest we miss calls from our doctors/pharmacist we don't need to be answering or startled by the phone ringing almost every hour or every 10 to 15 minuets, in some cases. These calls should most certainly be blocked and prosecuted by law especially since the are using disconnected or computer generated phony numbers so that we cannot return the call and ask to be put on their do not call list... Some of us are on the government do not call registry but we still receive these unwanted calls. sincerely,

If robocalls have the right to call my phone every hour on a daily basis, I should have the right to block these calls. The problem with these types of calls, is that when I do answer the phone, the call hangs up. So, I cannot tell a person to stop calling me. If I let the phone ring, they call back every hour on the hour. I have no desire to speak with anybody calling me whom I do not know. I do not want to donate money over the phone, I will not purchase anything over the phone. And I do not want to take a survey over the telephone. It is a lose lose situation.

Please put an end to those annoying robocalls, especially during political run-ups to elections. They violate my right to peace and quiet in my home. Nowadays when I get a call that I know is from some stupid machine, I answer and immediately hang back up. It infuriates me when the phone is ringing and I hurry to answer it only to find it is something invading my right to privacy.

I am a handicapped senior citizen which makes these calls even more annoying since I don't make a habit to carrying my phone around with me. I am concerned that hurrying to answer my phone will cause me to fall and break a hip someday. Want that's on your conscience or don't you care about the people who employ you?

Just because you place your telephone number on the National "Do Not Call" registry or a similar state registry is no guarantee that you will not be called by robotic/automated recorded telephone callers or by live telemarketers. While I am on both the National and the Texas "Do Not Call" registries, I still sometimes get as many as ten (10) of these unwanted calls each day and also sometimes on the weekend as well.

Many of these calls are no more than scams or attempts to gain confidential information. Numerous times I have received a call from some guy (alleging to be with Microsoft) who has "noticed that there is a problem with my computer" that he can fix if I just let him have remote access to my hard drive. I know others have received calls alleged to be from the IRS that are scams. Likewise, I have received calls for unwanted products and/or services from the same company calling me time and time again notwithstanding that I advise the caller that I am on a "Do Not Call" registry.

I recently signed-up with Nomorobo to stop these calls. Now the phone rings one time, and if it is one of these robotic/automated recorded telephone callers, Nomorobo hangs up on them. At last, I can get some productive work done at the price of only having to hear the phone ring one time. It saves my time and keeps the phone line clear for calls that are important.

Providing customers a solution as simple as Nomorobo is something that the telephone companies should have done long ago. I pay the telephone company for a means to allow me to communicate easily with other individuals to whom I desire to speak. I do not pay the phone company for, nor did I ever intend to provide, an avenue for others to invade my home with unwanted promotions, advertisements, scams, and attempts to obtain private information. Peace of mind is too precious to have it destroyed by denying telephone customers the ability to stop these annoying calls.

These robocalls won't even provide their phone numbers on my Phone ID. Most 0f these robocalls have foreign accent (made from other countries. FCC must force all Phone companies, domestic and foreign, to abide by the "Do Not Call Listing" and levy heavy fines on the phone companies who promote thesr robocalls. The consumer definitely needs a solid plan/protection from thse horrible nuisance robocalls. FCC must provide strict punishment and heavy fines to make these robocall companies to respect the Privacy of consumers. In reality, I will NOT buy any product these robocalls are promoting thus they are wasting their time and mine.In summary, these robocalls must be ban completely and stop immediately.

It is my phone service, I pay for it. When you call my home it is the same as walking up to my front door , knocking, and asking to come in. I have the right to say NO and to tell you to leave and never return. I have the right to post my property to keep out door to door solicitors. My home phone service is the same, I should have the right to deny calls from ANYONE I choose for any reason. Current laws do not work. It is YOUR TAXPAYER PAID JOB to fix that.

I get so many robocalls for useless products and scams that I am forced to screen all my incoming calls. Even so, my phone rings all day long even though my phone number is on both the local and national do-not-call lists. Robocall operators can safely ignore the do-not-call lists because they originate their calls overseas where they are out of reach of US authorities. Nomorobo has brought peace and quiet to my home and less aggravation to my life because it works no matter where the calls originate. There is a need for more robocall blocking products and services, not less.

I'm terrified and horrified that phone companies have targeted services such as NoMoRobo. I am the victim of an avalanche of telemarketing calls, and I'm not just being dramatic. For the last 3 years or so, I've been logging telemarketing calls and robocalls on a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet confirms that I've received an average of TWO TELE- OR ROBO-CALLS PER DAY for the past 3 years.

At first, I signed up for the FTC's Do Not Call Registry, but the calls kept coming. Then I reported violations through the online complaint form, but the calls kept coming. I've asked violators to stop calling, also to no avail. (Now I just ignore them.)

The Do Not Call Registry has never even acknowledged my complaints, let alone actually taken measures to stop the calls.

Only when I signed up for NoMoRobo was the volume of offending calls reduced significantly - to an average of perhaps one every week or two. (And those are diligently reported to NoMoRobo to prevent future violations!)

If anyone tells you that services such as NoMoRobo are unnecessary, THEY ARE LYING!

If anyone tells you that services such as NoMoRobo don't work, THEY ARE LYING!

If anyone tells you that the Do Not Call Registry is effective, THEY ARE LYING!

If anyone tells you that all or most telemarketers comply with the spirit of the Do Not Call Registry, THEY ARE LYING (if my experience is any indication)!

Please dismiss any efforts by phone companies to block services such as NoMoRobo.... indeed, they should be REQUIRED to offer such services as a necessary benefit to their customers.

Without call blocking, my phone would ring with junk calls half a dozen times a day. I know this because until recently that's what it did. Now I use two different call-blocking methods — one of which is Nomorobo. It's invaluable to me, as it greatly reduces incoming calls from robots. When a machine calls, there's no way to tell it never to call back again.

Without this technology, I would very likely get rid of my landline (which I keep mainly for safety and security reasons). Thanks for listening.

Robocall blockers, however, exist because the citizenry so dislikes Robotic calling and marketing calls.

Robocalls are an invasion of privacy. Unscrupulous advertisers purchase private information and use it to bombard the public with unwanted advertising every day. It is one thing to have to sort through dozens of emails, but to have your privacy invaded by a live salesperson in your own home is going too far. These calls force otherwise civilized people to become rude when the callers won't relent to a polite "no thank you." Moreover, many people such as myself have pay-as-you-go cell phones-and a disproportionate number of those people are senior citizens and/or are economically challenged. Each robocall is charged to the cell phone owner. Unwanted advertising calls are not only stressful to these people-they are actually forced to pay to have their privacy invaded. Stop robocalls! Nomorobo should be commmended as a public service, not regulated out of existance!

I recently moved from Ansonia Ct to Naugatuck Ct and that required a different phone company. One that does not allow robo blocking. They say they do not have the capabilities, and that it will be coming soon. When I was in Ansonia I had robo blocking. The robo calls were dramatically reduced. I think you should require every phone company to enable robo blocking.

We receive about 3-5 calls daily from unidentified, misidentified and sneaky callers. I have blocked many by specific phone number but have used up my allotment for that approach. Nomorobo stocks about 1/2 of the calls. The remainders are the above mentioned cals.

Please consider assisting the beleaguered telephone by allowing the phone user to block many of these calls. Thank you.

Before Nomorobo I was badgered by unwanted calls all day long and on weekends. My voicemail would be filled with telemarketers and even threatening calls saying I was about to be arrested. The Do Not Call List does not work to stop these intrusions. Asking people not to call doesn't work and they sometimes become abusive. I would get rid of my landline but my internet is tied to it, and my cell phone has begun to get robocalls. Without Nomorobo, I feel I would risk losing my sanity, and that's not an exaggeration.

I am sick and tired of answering my phone to be bombarded by pitches from computers. It is bad enough to have to take calls from human interlopers who disregard the do-not-call list, but it is far worse to hear daily from Rachel from Cardholder Services, or the guy who says "Don't hang up - this is not a sales call!".

My choosing NoMoRoBo call blocking is akin to my blocking unwanted calls.

It is MY choice to prevent waste of time, bandwidth, system use and money.

If phone spammers can use computers to megadial phone numbers then using computer software to block unwanted phone spam is appropriate

If the FCC exercises its authority to manage this problem area, it will have control of the problem. Therefore, other, as yet unforeseen, uses of computer/software accessing phones en mass will be controllable by the FCC ' s regulatory power. It is conceivable that future attacks on the telephone infrastructure may be possible through cleverly programmed phone access gained using spoofed phone numbers and offshore computers. DOS, assaults on servers, etc may be tools employed to deny use of individual phones or the systems themselves.

It is assumed that phone companies will resist ANY regulation of service because of restrictions which would cost them money. A simple reason is that call spammers use up time on user's phone accounts. A few minutes each phone # across thousands of phones whose owners are paying by'the-minute charges is a boon to their income without effort on their part. Additionally, restrictions on robocalls will lead to restrictions on software phone companies preload into cell phones and deny user-control of which can force these phones to lengthen a call by a few seconds each call thereby increasing chargeable fees.

These are a few of the reasons I want the FCC to exercise strong restrictive regulations on phone call spammers. I want the FCC to allow software such as NOMOROBO to block unwanted phone accesses and to exercise regulation of the programs allowed to employ this function.

Before I was lucky enough to find this blocking service, I was receiving 5 to 6 calls PER DAY from contractors. They would call and LIE to me. Saying I asked them to call back; that I wanted them to do work on my house. I did not; would not. I'm a shop teacher. I do my own house repairs and renovations. In addition to these I was also receiving 4 to 7 calls per week from other sources wanting me to buy "stuff."

We pay for our phone service. We do not pay for advertisements on our phone; yet, we cannot stop the robocalls. On our cell phones, if we answer an "unknown" caller, we pay for the time our phone is in use, whether we want to receive the call or not. We want to use our phones to make and receive important calls from people we know and trust. We feel insulted that we are being bombarded with calls from numbers that we cannot trace, nor can we return the calls to complain. The more you answer the calls, the more you receive.

This is a big problem. You put your phone number on the National Do Not Call list yet these robo-callers continuously call over and over because they have technology that allows them to put your phone number in a database and continue to call OVER AND OVER AGAIN. The ones I have received most recently claim that "someone in your household owes money". They want you to call them so that they can phish for more information and then at the very least sell your information. We must put an end to the selling of data. This is one of the biggest reasons that there is identity theft in this country. I AM PERSONALLY SICK OF IT AND EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THESE MORONS. If you cant or wont do anything with them then the government is just as bad as they are. This is my phone number and I am tired of the invasion of my privacy.

With the advent of automated telephone calling (robo calls) over the years the barrage of calls interrupting our day has become so bad we would simply ignore any call ringing that had an unfamiliar (or no) caller ID. When I learned of the nomorobo service and set it up I found the difference to be amazing. Simply wait for the phone to ring twice and I nearly always get a legitimate phone call.

I'm disappointed that telephone companies are pushing to have this capability banned and wonder what their motivation could be.

Please rule to require all phone companies to offer the simultaneous ring ring feature that is essential to the nomorobo service and give the consumer more control over who can intercept their day. Thank you.

For several years, my home was bombarded with robocalls. Beginning in the early hours to the late evening, the intrusions grew more frequent. From credit solutions, to new windows, to telephone service pitches, to mortgage reductions, the calls kept coming and coming. They were all unsolicited, all unwanted, and all an interruption to my day and peace of mind. I steadfastly and frequently reported these calls to the Do Not Call Registry complaint site - for years - with no reply and no solutions. The calls never stopped. I finally stumbled across Nomorobo a few months ago - it has been the medicine to cure my ills. NO MORE ROBO CALLS!

I get at least 3-4 calls a day from construction, or other sales company on my home phone. You can tell these are robot calls by the pauses before a person comes on the line. These calls interrupt my work, my cooking, my family life. I do not invite these solicitations and definitely do not want them.

They do not stop when asked. They are extremely irritating and invasive! We need to make them stop their harassment. Please allow norobocalls to block thwm and force those so called "public utilities" the phone companies to assist them.

I do not think that any robocalls should be legal at any time in America. It is our right to protect our privacy and to be able to use robocall blocking products if we so desire. I personally believe that no government organization should have the right at any time to make any person's phone numbers public or easily accessible in any way. There is way too many scams going on by telephone, email and other means. It is time to put a stop to all robocalls, telemarketing phone calls and spam.

I am tired of politicians being allowed to do robocalls and all other organizations. If I want to do business with a specific company on the phone, then I will initiate the contact myself. I am tired of unidentified caller id calls of all types and I do not agree with anyone being allowed to block their caller id for any reason.

Programs like Nomorobo give the average citizen the ability to do what government for the most part will not, and that is to help level the playing field and allow them the ability to defend themselves from corporate greed and avarice. Do not disallow this type of consumer defense program. No one is forced to use it. If you want to call me in the middle of my dinner, you better be a real person on the end of the line!

First there was the Do Not Call list, and that worked for a good several years. Then the calls started again. Every day, all day. At 7 am and at 11pm and literally continuously all day long. We try very hard to protect our number. I would argue that we are actually quite savvy when it comes to preventing robocallers and telemarketers from having access to our number, yet it continues to get worse. We can literally get 3 and 4 calls in a span of 5 minutes...all junk. There absolutely had to be a way to block robocalls and frankly, unsolicited calls should be outlawed. They are a nuisance. If a solicitor continuously rang my doorbell, I could have them removed by the sheriff, but I have no way of stopping a solicitor from ringing my phone day and night. Please STOP ROBOCALLS!

Please help the citizens of our country to put a stop to this. This will also help protect people from unscrupulous criminals and spammers, as well as conserve on wasted Obama phone minutes. Then the needy will have more minutes to call their crack dealers on the taxpayers dime. So they can spend the taxpayers dime. Can you help us please ? You can't do a darn thing to stop the nuisance of Obama. The least you could do is to stop robocalls.

Everyday Nomorobo blocks robotic telemarketer calls to my home phone and I am thankful. I am on the Do Not Call List but yet I still recieve annoying non-robotic telemarketer calls everyday. I have the ability to block 50 calls by using my ATT software (blocks 20 calls) and my home phone (blocks 30 calls). I have reached my blocking limit and I want the ability to block an unlimited amount.

I feel it is my right not to have harassing phone calls coming into my home. I pay the phone bill, not them. The DO NOT CALL list are ignored by a vast majority of these companies and often it is the same calls over and over. These calls come into my home all times of the day, often when I am trying to sleep, not feeling well or busy with my life. I do not want any UN-solicited calls, robo, political, or sales. My phone is not for their use, it is for me, my family and friends. Often these calls are mis-leading and confusing to older people and they are getting scammed. By the way nomorobo was a hit at our local health facility, facebook and anywhere I could share it.

I have subscribed to NOMOROBO and am very pleased with its ability to block unwanted calls. But it is not totally effective and I think it should be expanded, not curtailed. I have also been on the FCC and state "Do not call" lists, but these, too, are only partially effective, as I still receive unwanted (and presumably illegal) calls.

Mobile companies already charge fees for many services, but do not provide a viable means to stop robocalls. As an owner of a mobile device it should be my right to purchase an app that will block such calls. Placing mmy mobile number in the do not call registry does not effectively block these types of calls. Please consider the request to allow robocalls blocking to be available for mobile devices.

When I don't have the ability to block robo calls my phone rings all day and night with these types of calls, about 35 calls a day. They don't respect my privacy or my request not to call. In fact if I tell them I don't want to hear from them they increase the call volume to the point I have to turn off the phones in order to get any peace or rest. What is the use of having a phone if it turned off most of the time? How can family or friends contact us in an emergency if our phones are turned off? Why should these illegal callers be allowed to harass us without a means to fight back? Reporting the calls to the Do Not Call complaint form accomplishes nothing, so we need call blocking technology.

I would also like to stop getting political ro coals, but don't think you have the balls to ban them. At least require them to give an accurate caller ID and allow us to opt out.

First of all....i have a private number and have always have one. Even that doesn't help. Many people consider robocalls to be intrusive and a harrassment. We pay the bill so we should decide on who calls us and who shouldn't. I got called as early as 6am to as late as 12:25 pm. Both times i have been woken out of a deep sleep and then not being able to fall back asleep. Even my friends and family have the intelligence NOT to call before or before/after a certain time unless it was for an emergency, and robocalls are NOT an emergency. Stop robocalls now!

Telemarketers are the bane of my existence. All of them are using spoofed numbers on my caller ID. Many are from out of the country. I've even had my own name and number pop up on my caller ID. I've had to resort to turning off my home phone ringers to stop the constant intrusion and irritation. And, I'm also starting to get these scam phone calls on my cell phone!!! I am paying for my phone services and I object to these scammers and thieves using the services for which I am paying. When I have asked them to stop calling, I've been called obscene names that I wouldn't dare even put into print here. My privacy is being intruded upon. I am being harassed.

There is a huge problem in the United States. Our priorities are misaligned. We allow caller id spoofing and think it is ok not to be able to block robocalls. Our privacy are being invaded everyday allowing our adversaries to have every advantage. We need not only block robocalls, but also block caller id spoofing. Caller id spoofing allows names and numbers to be hijacked with out the assigned users permission. This is a concern that every american should be worried. If we let our security and privacy to be hijacked by other people, it is only time before all of America is hacked.

We have fought for years even signing up for the Do NOT Call registry...what a joke. Nothing worked. Ringing and hanging up, calling at dinner, waking us up, being rude to us...and more. We even screen our calls with our phone messaging system that says "we are screening our calls because of telemarketers who won't take no for an answer."

Finally we used a free robocall blocking service and they decreased by probably 95%. Once in a while one gets through, but not often. It is great!

It is our home, our phone, our personal lives. We shouldn't have to put up with being harassed by these rude, obnoxious, superfluous, annoying calls.

So, support the robocall blocking products and do not allow our privacy, our home and lives to be under attack any longer by businesses that refuse to leave us alone.

I was suffering many unwanted calls each day, both robotic and telemarketers even though I had signed up on the Do Not Call list. After years of suffering this I signed up for a private service NoMoRobo.com which has greatly reduced the number of those calls. So I know it is possible. It would have been nice if this service had been available directly from my phone service provider. So please approve the measure to require the phone companies to offer this service.

Considering the number of unwanted daily/weekly scam calls, TOTAL inaction as far as the Do-Not-Call list is concerned, at least my ability to use NOMOROBO allows me to block a number of these calls which occur at all hours. I completely fail to understand any reason why I should not be able to block those calls. Presently, my carrier AT&T allows me to block a total number of 30 numbers. AT&T must surely be aware that phantom numbers are created constantly so that the 30 number total is quickly exhausted.

I get several robo calls every day even though my number has been on the "do not call" list for several years. Since I pay for my phone service I should be allowed to block unwanted robocalls. In fact, I believe that all robocalls should be blocked unless I specifically give my permission to the caller.

I can't believe that I pay for my phone service, but I continue to receive unwanted robo calls. Will caller id I usually don't even pick up but I hate having the phone ringing or the beeping in while I'm on another call. I have medical issues which make moving around quickly and I can't tell you how often I've rushed to the phone only to see it is a robo call. Why are these calls allowed when they are so annoying, yet I am paying for my phone service? I've thought the Do Not Call registers. Was going to help eliminate unwanted calls, but I've verified that I'm on this list and I continue to get call and even if I answer and select the option to removed, I'm not, I would love to have robocall blocking, however I would want to make sure it is covered in basic phone service. I don't think I should have to pay extra for this type of product. I often wonder my phone number is gotten, I have no relationship with most of the calls that I have answered. A robo call saying they have news about my credit card is one that I receive often, if I wait for a representative and ask what card number they are calling about, they hang up. The recording is the same (voice and all) but different numbers so I can't even block them by number. I also get calls just about every day from a caller id of consumer services but with different numbers. This is very frustrating, I'm paying for a phone line but I have to screen calls even though I rarely give out my number

As a consumer I believe whatever phone companies we give our business to should be obligated to provide us with the ability to block all robo (robotic) calls. In this time of advanced technology I am quite sure this would not be a difficult thing for the phone companies to do, especially with the rates that we are paying. Which should be put to use for their greatest asset -- the customer. Thank you for your consideration which will benefit many, many more than not.

I have looked everywhere in an attempt to find something that will help stop these nuisance calls to no avail. They tie up your line for several minutes & that's not fair! It's MY phone! **I** am the one paying for it, so why am I being held captive by these jerks? Why can't I have an option that allows me to stop them cold? Now that these scammers can spoof caller ID records, the solution has to be more effective than just blocking numbers. I get the same robo message every day but always from a different number, so blocking wouldn't help at all. How about an option that blocks EVERYONE ON EARTH except the numbers you want to allow to get through? THAT would be HELPFUL!

The Federal "do not call" list is insufficient to stop annoying and illegal unwanted calls. Americans should have access to a central "no more robocalls" database. My wife and I are bombarded daily with telemarketers who ignore the "do not call" list. The same companies have hundreds or probably thousands of phone numbers they use so it's near impossible for individuals to block their unwanted and intrusive calls. Robocall blocking capability should be available to everyone.

Before we had the service provided by robocall blocking solutions, my household and family were inundated with fraudulent phone calls from a variety of scams. We were told that our computers had viruses, called about insurance we didn't need, and products we didn't want. We have been registered with the "do not call" list for years, but this did not alleviate the problem.

Dear sirs and madams.We had been receiving home repair calls, sometimes ten a day. We still get prank calls, but with nomorobo, it has cut drastically these scheme callers and illegal solicitations. There were callers that even were hostile, threatening, refused to remove our unlisted phone number from their lists. We even got phony people posing as government agents from the IRS and other agencies threatening us. A check of the net and the phone number revealed them to be national scammers yet they got our unlisted phone number. Nomorobo helped to stop these callers.

Robocalls are both an invasion of my privacy and a tremendous waste of my time. I conservatively estimate that about half of the inbound calls on my phone lines are robocalls. They interrupt both my work and home life.

If I instead let these calls go to voicemail, they almost never leave a message. If they do leave a message, the beginning of the message is almost always cut off because they don't wait to hear if the call is answered before they start their recorded message.

At least with spam email we can mark the senders and send their emails automatically to the Junk Email folder. Why shouldn't we be able to do the same with junk phonecalls?

So Sorry. I do not want their interference in my daily life. Huge Lobby business now active in this I imagine. I was not surprised that the voluntary Do Not Call Gov. List was OK but not enough so I turned my phone off, inconveniently.

After robocall blocking i was able to turn the phone on again. I do not want those people "breaking into my home".

Robo calls are out of control. No call lists work for neither our home phone or mobile. Over the years my wife has found some callers outright frightening. Callers who say nothing. Callers who call almost daily. Sometimes multiple times daily. Businesses are so profit driven that requests to stop calling frequently are ignored. Time Warner blocked numbers and Nomorobo have been sanity savers. Nomorobo has been on our phone for about a week and the results have been amazing. PLEASE stop the predatory, heartless, callers.

We use Nomorobo call blocking and there are calls that try to get through every day that are blocked. There are 2 or 3 companies that we use to get calls from every day for the same service that we could not get rid of any other way, even if we talked to them and told them to stop. It was an invasion of our privacy because they knew that we are senior citizens and use deceptive messages to keep you on the line.

My wife and are are senior citizens. We receive an average of 8 unwanted calls per day, from people or organizations/businesses with whom we have no relationship nor do we want any.

We have anonymous call block turned on with our carrier, but that doesn't stop the rest. We have been on the Federal "Do Not Call" list since it was first established and still are shown on it.

I believe that it should be mandatory that all public telephone carriers provide call blocking services, under customer control, so that we and others can selectively denote unwanted phone numbers as "blocked' and never hear another peep from them.

I really don't care if the callers are religious, political or business. If I don't want to hear from them, that is my choice, not theirs.

Dear FCC:

Please decide for consumers by allowing us to block robocalls and unwanted nuisance callers. Phone companies have been allowed too long to let these calls, most of them scams, to make their way through. They need to provide existing technology to help us block them.

Not a week goes by that I didn't have to report some diabetes or other scam aimed at seniors to the Do Not Call list. Many of these calls continue. There has to be a way for us to limit them.

Before I subscribed to Nomorobo I was inundated with calls from telemarketers. Now I hardly ever have calls from telemarketers. It's been a relief since I have a sick wife and having to stop something and answer my phone needlessly is quite aggravating.

Thank goodness for Nomorobo.

My phone is used for communication with my friends, family and people I know. I am really irritated by hang up robo calls at all hours day and night and someone trying to sell me something that I don't want. Robo calls are a complete nuisance. Why would someone try and force something on me that I don't want. People who use their computers to make mass calls should be prosecuted for harassment.

It was making my husband and I crazy with all the telemarketing, politcal and stupid calls we got constantly all hours of the day and as late as 9:00 at night.

Phone solicitations have become ridiculous. They have now have Nomorobo to give me some quiet. It wastes my time to answer the phone and then hang up when I realize it's a robocalls. Now I wait for the second ring if Nomorobo allows it. It GREATLY reduces my wasted time. I would prefer if the FCC would enforce DoNotCall lists.

If it wasn't for robocall blocking, I would have changed our number a long time ago. Ever since getting this number 5 years ago, the calls were nonstop! They continually ask for the former owners of the number. There is nothing you can do to get them to stop calling. They sell the numbers to others and it just keeps going. It is never ending. I daily have to block the callers.

If you stop number blocking, be ready to give out thousands of new numbers! We may have to get rid of our landline phones altogether!

Keep robocall blocking products! Thank you,

I think the preponderance of robocalls appearing on my telephones must certainly violate some of my constitutional rights. Possible arguments might be made citing the 1st, 8th and 9th amendments.

My wife and I are retired, and we're thinking about dropping our landline phone service.

Do you know why? We've been on the government's "Do Not Call" list for years, but even so, companies offering everything from "travel discounts" to storm windows are skirting the law and having their computers call us. The worst is that every year around election time our phone rings constantly with strangers asking personal questions about how we plan to vote. We used to ask patiently to be removed from their call list... but we've quit doing that since we learned that they get the list from the CURRENT VOTER LIST. That means we will NEVER get off of their call lists.

These constant calls are a burden for older people like us, many of whom are more likely to fall for slick ads and slick salesmen. The ability to make deceptive sales pitches is all that keeps them going. Please allow us to control our phones and free us from these unwanted intrusions into our lives.

We would rather keep our current phone lines. If, however, you can't or won't help us, the only solution we can think of is to disconnect our landline phones and depend more on our mobile phones, which receive these kinds of calls only rarely.

It's up to you. Do we keep putting up with the hassle of unwanted phone calls or do we pull the plug on the landline phone?

Kalamazoo, MI

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 3850 of 5002

I am in favor of re-starting ROBOCALL type call blocking through my telephone company (Verizon). The phone company appears to favor unrestricted intrusive phone marketing without any recourse by the residential consumer. The residential consumer should be able to switch off repeated phone calls that continue even after the calling party has been asked to stop calling. There is no good reason why phone calls selected by the recipient should remain unblocked. Please enact laws and provide an easily accessible and simple blocking process to protect residential customers from this form of public harassment.

A major annoyance and waste of time are robocalls. In some cases when expecting an important call from a doctor or hospital, a robocall can be more than just a nuisance and be actually dangerous. The telephone service that the consumer pays for should not be hijacked by telemarketers. This is especially true for cell phone minutes. Phone companies should make available blocking services for such unsolicited and potentially health threatening calls.

Nomorobo service is keeping me from being completely insane. I get a call identified as (Unknown 1) regularly twice a day or more. Before Nomorobo I would answer and no one was there. Now it only rings once and is hung up on by the service. I get many calls each day that Nomorobo hangs up on. I am on the national do not call list and on the state do not call list. That is not working. I do not want calls from people trying to sell me something. I heard that there was a prize given for the best way to control and or stop robo calls. What gives!

Robocalls are annoying, time-wasting and, more often than not, a vehicle used for fraud! Before I signed up for NomoRobo, the majority of my calls were these automatic dialers. Now, I have the ability to let most of them pass by.

Even so, there are vendors out there who hide themselves behind actual subscriber names. WE NEED TO STOP THAT! And, I want my cell carrier to be required to offer robocall blocking products! It's my cellphone that I"m paying for and I should have control over who can and cannot call me!

Don't let the phone companies take away my ability to block unwanted calls. If it's because they want revenue, they can find a way to charge the robocallers for every call they make it they have the wherewithal to do so (and they do!).

Hillside, NJ

Comments-10001-15000 - Page 3888 of 5002

I am in favor of Robo call blocking. The fact that the telephone service is a monopoly should not give the phone company the right to invade my privacy. I purchase their service to enable me to make and receive only phone calls from those I want to receive them from as well as those I do not. Any service that would ensure that service meets my needs is a step forward.

While the phone company may hide behind any federal laws that might not allow them block calls their claim does not square with the fact that they may be making a fair amount of profit from selling their own call blocking services.

No call to my phone should force me to listen to any message or caller not of my choosing. If the phone company can't directly supply that service then those services that evolve to do exactly that should be allowed to do so.

Because the phone is a necessity we should not be forced to listen to callers and their interruptions at their will. Those of us who opt out of live sales calls should have the ability to do the same for those callers who decide to circumvent the "opt out" by Robo calling.

Please consider extending the opt out capability to include Robo calling whether blocked by the phone company or, if they choose not to, then by other services willing to step in and solve the problem for us outside of the phone company.

We receive an average of 2-3 robocalls a day, sometimes as many as 5 in an afternoon. We receive even more in the weeks leading up to an election. I'm even starting to get them on my cell phone.

Please make them stop.

Services like NoMoRobo are nice, with its single ring to let us know that another robocall has been blocked. It seems to me, however, that the phone companies could very easily figure out who's making the calls and not accept them.

Preventing the robocall is better than blocking them after one ring.

I love Nomorobo and I think it should be an FCC requirement that all carriers enable their services to take advantage of blocking services like Nomorobo. In fact since I am paying an astronomical amount for my home and cellular phones should I not be in control of who I allow to call me?

Robocalls attack at meal times, usually, and that makes them especially onerous. My at&t "service" does not permit a blocking service, and the "call blocking" feature is limited to six telephone numbers.

Please stop the robocall invasions of privacy by whatever means necessary.

We have been using Nomorobo for over a year and it has provided a substantial decrease in the number of robocalls we receive (estimate 90-95% decrease). We have been on the national do-not-call list since it was first established, but like most consumers, we have still been bombarded by unsolicited robocalls from companies who blatantly choose to disregard the law. We have been so pleased with Nomorobo that we have tried to sign up family members and friends, but unfortunately most of their carriers don't allow the service. Given how effective Nomorobo is and how pointless the no-call list has been rendered by companies that choose to ignore it, we strongly encourage the FCC to require services such as Nomorobo be made available to all phone customers, landline and mobile. Thank you for your time and consideration.

It's time that you realize that all of these "Robo calls" are an invasion of privacy. These callers usually come across my phone as "Unavailable" or even "Private" so I'm not even able to call them back and have them remove me from their call lists. It's obvious that they are trying to sell something because they won't even leave a message. It's time you start protecting our privacy!!! I'd also like to know why and how they are allowed to call my " unlisted" number! This has got to be stopped and soon!

Please let me continue using the NOMOROBO (Robocall blocking product) on my phone. It has reduced the number of calls I get and made my a lot easier. It catches at least 10 calls per day.

I know, because the calls that are blocked ring only once and when I check the associated number most of the time it is a disconnected number or the number for Immigration and Naturalization Service.

I receive robo calls on my mobile phone numerous times a day. I tried to report violations when they occur, but it requires me to be at a computer, go to the reporting web page, fill out a form, and when all is said and done, it feels like nothing happens. Asking to be removed has done no good, and I suspect that the act of asking confirms me as a living person that can be marketed to on the other end of a phone line. Please do whatever is necessary to stop robo calls. There is no rational use for robo calls that I can think of that comes close to offsetting the harm they cause.

Robocalls are extremely annoying and intrusive. , especially at 6:30 am and 10:00 pm, Sometimes they repeat at half hour intervals. The public should have control over their own phones especially considering what the phone providers charge plus every fee/tax whatever they add to pump up the rates. I think the phone companies don't want robocalls blocked because they make money from them as business clients. Norobocall products should be freely available to the public and phone companies should be required to provide opt-outs. This should include political robocalls as well.

Please allow us to preserve the peaceful quiet in our home and protection against phone scammers we enjoy with Nomorobo.

Robo calls are annoying, useless, and a big waste of time and resources. It's an invasion of every Americans' daily lives. I setup my phone for real use and not a place for scheming "businesses" to harass, annoy, and/or make a quick buck off me. I think I speak for a majority of Americans, if not all of them.

Getting robo calls is like getting junk credit offers in the mail, useless flyers on your car's windshield, stepping on dog poo on your way to work, answering a salesperson at your door during dinner with your family. They are all unnecessary and everyone tries to avoid them and has the right to. So why can't we have the right to avoid robocalls by blocking them on OUR private property; our personal phones?

It is difficult to fathom HOW MANY junk calls we get - for multiple reasons...first during election time. I vote - I make up my own mind and don't want repeated robo-calls at dinner time interfering with conversation and important activities. Apart from that we get MANY - way too many sales calls because we have a small business. The same companies call over & over all day long. It's terribly distracting and interruptive. If I pick up the phone & immediately hang up - they just call back. If I don't answer, they call back with a different area code and city listed. The problem has gotten out of hand and we Americans don't deserve this lack of respect. I used to try repeatedly to answer the calls and request removal of our name/number from their list, but that also is to avail. PLEASE HELP END THIS MADNESS.

Please act to allow me to decline to be included on calls from robotic dialers and especially from recorded messaging and solicitation calls. I recognize that many of these calls are political in nature, and are paid for by special interest groups. Those special interests also support the election of the politicians who appoint your commission's leaders and pay your salaries. The reality is my taxes actually pay your salaries and I want to control whether or not I am targeted by these robotic call centers.

I am sick and tired of the public nuisance of robo calls. Not only do they tie up my phone line with nonsense that I have no interest in, but they are a constant disturbance to my day.

I'm getting a lot of unwanted calls some of them displays Private instead of their phone number or some just display 1 instead of the whole number. I like to keep Nomorobo because it blocks robocalls if it rings only once you know that is a robocall saving you time from getting up from bed or interrupting your dinner.

It is my phone I don't want my carrier to tell me to accept robocalls or stop me from blocking those robocalls.

We were receiving as many as 10 calls per day from the same company which seemed to be operating a scam. Options to opt out were not successful and talking with representatives proved fruitless. Only after we learned about nomorobo and call blocking were we able to get relief from these nuisance calls.

If a person or company needs to contact us for legitimate concerns, they still have the option to call us without robo dialing. Please do not prohibit call blocking.

We absolutely live and use Nomorobo developed by Aaron Foss. Before we discovered this 100% effective robo call blocker our home privacy was interrupted EVERY nite between 5-9 PM at least 5x per nite by some worthless unsolicited out of state computer call peddling something. We have listed our phone on every do not call list with little result. We totally depend on Mr. Foss's software which should be available on every phone service in America. He should receive the metal of freedom for freeing us from these invasive irritating computer calls. I consider robo calls like a virus that must be kept out of my home. Do not allow robo call businesses or uninformed phone companies to take away the best defense against unwanted robo calls now available. Take whatever steps necessary to make Nomorobocall software available to everyone! David L. Sharrock in Sacramento, Calif. I would welcome any further discussion on this matter with any FCC member.

It has come to my attention that phone companies are lobbying against the product, Nomorobo, which blocks robocalls. I do not know of anyone who particularly enjoys robocalls other than those who initiate those robocalls.

Before Nomorobo was introduced, I was inundated with constant telemarketing and solicitation calls. These type of calls can run up to 8 times per day. As a user of Nomorobo since the first day, I have not been inundated with unnecessary and useless telemarketing calls. It has made my quality of life better. I have also installed Nomorobo on two of my siblings' phone service and they can't give enough praise for Nomorobo. It is outstanding.

I request that phone users be given the option to continue using Nomorobo and not have Nomorobo be taken away from us.

We are so grateful that, as Verizon Digital Voice customers, we were eligible to sign on for the Nomorobo.com service. We used to be constantly bothered by unwanted computer-generated phone calls, especially at dinner time. Although we have caller ID and could identify unwanted callers, we still had to put up with the ringing. Now when the phone rings just once and then stops, we look at each other and say, "Thank you, Nomorobo!" This was a lifesaver during the political campaigns last fall.

Robocalls are the same thing as auto dialers which you said were illegal for telemarketeers to use to call people. By consumers having the RIGHT to block these scammers which is what most of them are, since they are using cellphones, VoIP, and even numbers that have been previously registered to land line owners to make their BS calls. You have cut back on way too many things over the years. First it was with CB and your lack of cracking down on all of these illegal CB radios. One look on facebook in the CB radio groups and you can see all of these illegal radios and amps that are being pictured and such. But back to the Robo calling, Im sure everyone of you has a way of blocking calls from these idiots from calling your home, business and cell phone numbers so why cant we? ITS DAMNED ANNOYING to have my phone ring at all hours of the day or night only to find out that its some BS gimmick or scam. Its bad enough with the Political calls which we cant block as they are BS also. Do something right for a change and DO NOT allow these LOW LIFES the ability to call anyone they want. Your DO NOT CALL list is bullshit too. That's how the Robocaller gets around that. Since its not a person dialing, they don't care and they do not respond to removing numbers from their list. On Thanksgiving and Christmas, Days meant for spending time with family We received 40 calls in a matter of minutes from first Bill Gates, then Donald Trump saying we won millions and it took me telling him each time that he had reached the FBI Field Office and US Marshall's Office and the local Sheriff's Department that they finally quit calling. And yes it was a ROBO CALLER, calling with a BLOCKED caller ID, from most likely a VoIP number (Vonage, MagicJack, BasicTalk or some DSL or Broadband provider like AT&T, Verizon, etc). Im one million percent against Robo callers and with such services as Nomorobo, I no longer had to worry about idiots like that calling. Unfortunately this service doesn't work for landlines and Cell phones companies that do not offer a service known as SimulRing (Vonage offers it) as this cut back on 99% of the Telemarketers, hang ups as soon as the Answering Machine or VoiceMail picks up. and we were never disturbed again.

Its time to listen to consumers and DO YOUR JOB protecting and regulating what you should, Just as its illegal to use illegal amplifiers on the CB frequencies, it should be just as illegal if not more for any business in the USA to use ROBO dialers and all business regardless what they do should be mandated to have their caller ID info displayed to better avoid this mess. Yes Congress shouldn't have De-Regulated CB and they should regulate this or force you, the Federal Communications Commission to do your job in enforcing laws, and rules pursuant to any type of communications, Even the ham bands are now being cluttered with robo trash. Take a listen sometime on 14.313MHZ and listen to the guy in Florida cuss and jam the Canadian

Robo blocking products should be legal and allowed 10000000000% since it seems you aren't very well interested in enforcing anything else when it comes to communications

My fiance is a registered nurse (working different shifts) and likes to be able to sleep in on certain days and telemarketers, etc. seem to know when to call to piss her off.

Since I have gotten on medicare, I keep getting calls for medical suppliers asking me, and some in a very pushy manner, ifI like them to send me a back or knee or theigh or other type of appliance. 2 years ago I had a swollen knee and since then people call me about my knee.

It seems like NOW is the time to limit unwanted calls (both robo and all others that should be covered by the so called National No Call list).

I, for one, do not see how any merchant or marketer, should be allowed access to my home without my express consent. Robo calls have decreased somewhat since signing up for No-Robo. Unfortunately, the unwanted calls received on my No-Call phone numbers now number over 900 in the last three years, and yes I keep a log of the numbers that are calling.

The rights of the citizens should far outweigh the needs of the merchants. "Don't call me I'll all you" is my personal feeling. Enough!

Robocalls are very annoying.

They interrupt sleep, meal-time and other calls.

Many are scam callers and if you actually get to a "real" person, they can be rude, actually using the F--- word.

I'm paying for my phone and phone service and as such, have a right to privacy.

Please stop Rachel and her ilk now!

Let me keep my nomorobo so I can keep my land line with its' superior voice quality.

If not I will have to cancel the line and default to my mobile phone.

The number of robo calls are totally unacceptable. I was actually expecting the major operators to do something about it. The no-call list doesn't work any longer.

I have set up Nomorobo for my elderly mother. She is disabled and on bed rest. For years she was constantly disturbed by robo sales calls when she was resting, and it caused an enormous amount of distress for her. I programmed her phone with Nomorobo and it solved the problem. As consumers we have a right to restrict these incoming junk sakes calls from disturbing our peace in our homes. I ask that you please address this problem with careful and serious consideration. As taxpayers we have a right to peace and privacy in our homes. Restricting robocalls is no different than filtering spam on your computer, junk mail in your mailbox , or putting a "no solicitors" sign on your front door. Please work to ensure our continued ability to utilize Nomorobo and other similar tools to protect our rights to peace and privacy in our homes. Thank you.

Robocalls are annoying, waste both my time and the telemarketers, and NEED TO BE OUTLAWED! Oh wait, they are... so why are we having this debate? It's obvious that you, the FCC, are unable and unwilling to enforce your own laws. And now you want to take down companies like Nomorobo that enable the consumer to enforce them? Why would that be, unless you are in the pocket of the rich like the rest of our government. Don't be part of this once great country's slide into medieval fiefdom. Stand up for the little guy, and reward options like Nomorobo. Stop this unwanted intrusion into our homes NOW!

We have been receiving multiple robocalls per day for months. Our phone line is set to block calls from unknown callers, but this does not help. If we use our phone company's call screening service to block a particular number, the robocallers just call back the next time by displaying a different caller ID number, and the phone company limits us to only blocking 20 phone numbers this way. This type of persistent ongoing harassment from robocallers should be illegal. Any phone companies that support this are doing so simply because they are making money from the robocallers and things like wasted cell phone minutes from the robocallers' victims.

Thankfully, technology like the kind used by nomorobo can reduce the number of robocalls that get through, but it needs to be deployed on a much larger scale with full support from the FCC and the phone companies to be effective. Just as automatic spam filters are now a critical part of nearly every major email service, automatic call filtering services like nomorobo should be widely deployed and accessible to customers of every major phone company to combat spam phone calls. Thanks to the FCC and companies like nomorobo, we have the technology to solve this problem. Let's take it to the next level and increase the effectiveness of these spam call filtering services, and make it easy for everyone to block these nuisance calls.

Was told by this guy he was a irs representative and that they did an audit recorded error or shortage of $5981 from tax year 08-13. Said couldn't hang up phone or put on hold. I couldn't call anyone else. Said I could pay and all accounts would be cleared. If I didn't resolve in next hour my case would be turned over to local sheriff office and liens would be put on property and accounts and my paycheck . I was told to go to bank withdraw money then go to Kroger or speedway purchase multiple Green Dot Money Pack cards in $500 increments I had to stay on the phone with him the whole time but not let others know I asked why I couldn't log in online to IRS and make payment he got mad I drove to police dept and said if this is legit talk to the police handed phone to police he hung up

I have had another number calling my home line, I did a reverse look-up and found it was another robo company they call every evening.

Please require that phone companies provide optional robocall blocking features to their customers. Better yet, also implement changes that would reduce the number of robocalls that happen in the first place, INCLUDING political calls during elections. I consider these calls to be an invasion of privacy and in some cases harassment. We have received up to 10 robocalls in a day, about half of which are now blocked by Nomorobo.

Currently my robocall blocking product (Nomorobo) stops approximately 5-10 calls a week to my home. This has significantly improved my life since both my wife and I work from home.

However I still receive at least a couple of spam robo calls a week on my cell phone.

The robo callers are scofflaws that flaunt their ability to technically abuse the system to make untraceable unwanted calls that disturb households all hours of the day. The do not call registry is ineffective and there is no enforcement mechanism nor willingness to fund one that apparently works in the consumer’s interest in robo caller cases. Consequently, they run rampant. If the FCC had gone so far to sponsor a contest to innovators to develop effective solution to the problem why in the world stop short of getting a recognized effective measure implemented? Regulatory authority to mandate carriers to adopt the technical means necessary should exist. If not, then the commission's strong lobby with Congress to make the necessary legal corrections to save the concern of the telephone carriers is essential. By all means this must stop. Do not permit this tyranny to continue.

With Time Warner Cable I am able to use Nomorobo to block robocalls, but my elderly (101!) father has Cox and they do not offer call forwarding with "answer anywhere" so he has to worry about not falling every time he goes to answer a useless phone call. All his carrier offers is a 30 call block list, with which you have to receive each unwanted call before you can block it. Only while it was the last number on your caller ID, however. Comcast does not offer this service either, and they want to buy TWC so I imagine our rights to manage our phone will be threatened as well. Stop this invasion of our privacy, and protect our First Ammendment rights, and our rights of privacy.

I love Nomorobo. It makes my life so much better, to receive a single ring and not have to get up to answer the phone--knowing that the call is coming from a known abusive robocaller.

When you're my age, 70, you get pestered unmercifully by people who call in hopes of taking advantage of the elderly person who owns the phone. You should support each and every means, including Nomorobo, that helps individuals regain control of their own telephones.

Robot calls are especially troublesome when you are waiting to hear from your doctor in the early evening, and robot calls are tying up your telephone line because it's "dinnertime."

Right now I receive approx 10 calls a day. I currently use a roboblocking technology and I couldn't live without it. I have considered removing my home phone because of the quantity of sales calls. Of course doing this would also do away with 911 emergency services being able to easily find my location but this is what the robocallers are pushing us toward. I don't feel these people have the right to disturb the peaceful enjoyment of my property the way they do. The more people discard their home phones the more people can save on the taxes they won't have to pay so I guess there is a positive side.

Nomorobo is the best thing to happen in years for stopping robot dialers and telemarketers that think they can call you anytime of the day to try and sell you stuff you do not want over and over. And they do this ignoring the current law and the Do Not Call list I am on.

The telephone companies should be stopping this crap pile of scam and useless phone calls that disturb our homes and dinnertime's. But it seems the phone companies only want the profit that comes from making thousands of useless unwanted phone calls. Nomorobo is the only way I have of blocking these calls and I love it.

The FCC should not be listing to phone companies, but listen to the US consumer who pays the phone companies and the FCC people. Make the phone companies allow blocking of robocalls and telemarketers.

If you want to talk about it in person call me, but be sure that your name show up as you and not "Unknown Caller".

The robocall epidemic needs to be addressed now. Since the government seems unable to put her out of business with fines and legal action, it's time to put and end to the menacing career of "Rachel from Cardholder Services" by forcing the telco oligopoly to provide call blocking services to their customers.

And I don't mean allowing AT&T and Verzion to continue peddling their overpriced "Privacy Manager" services that they've repeatedly tried to sell mey. I'm referring to simple, common-sense solutions like NoMoRobo.

Despite the annoyance and interruption that robocalls are, the concern I have is really for unsuspecting individuals who believe it really is Microsoft calling about a virus on their computer and their ilk. Obviously there is money in these shameful ploys and it is unlikely to be able to legislate morality. The unregulated political call are just as annoying and somehow are allowable. Anyone wonder what that is? My phone can only block 20 numbers at a time so I am constantly polling the caller ID to see which numbers are on the hot list. It seems to be an exercise in futility to protest this nuisance. Being the United States, this would probably provoke a restraint of trade lawsuit by telemarketers.

Our lives are much more peaceful since we began using Nomorobo. Now when an advertiser calls, our phone will ring only once, and we immediately know it isa call we dion't want. Before Nomorobo our phone rang several times, and one of us would run to answer it only to find the caller was an advertiser we didn't want to talk to. We urge you to leave things the way they are and let Nomorobo continue to intercept all harassing calls.

My household has been and continues to be bombarded with robocalls. We have been on a Do-Not-Call list for years and found that reporting these calls never resulted in any relief.

My husband looked into the problem and found that there were very few cases where fines had ever been levied. He also learned that the phone numbers of people calling were those associated with people that had been hired because they could not be pursued since they had no financial resources - thus fining them was useless.

We kept records for months and sometimes received as many as 3-5 calls on each of two different phones.

What use is a phone if one is constantly interrupted with with unsolicited calls, many from the same sources over months and months.

There were times when we called a number back to find that it did not exist. The phone company confirmed that it was a non-existent phone moments after we called it back! What was going on?

Many people are giving up their land-line phones to avoid robocalls and using only their cell phones. Will the phone companies like this solution?

Thank you for taking the time and energy to deal with this serious issue. Something has to be done.

I am physically disabled and incessant robocalls were more than an inconvenience for me. Nomorobo has made a real positive difference in my life. Please, let consumers continue to use blockins software/

I can't say it any better thn my wife, who earlier wrote "When robo callers ignore the fact that my phone is on the DoNotCall list, and call anyhow, I should have full rights to use any technology that I choose to block such calls. Don't listen to phone companies that say the calls can't or shouldn't be blocked. Listen to subscribers; we should be in control of our own phones."

I WANT THE EASY ABILITY TO BLOCK THESE ROBOT CALLS. I DEMAND THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN MY OWN HOME! I AM ON THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY. DOES THAT MATTER TO THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE THESE PESKY CALLS? NO! IF THE FCC CANNOT MONITOR AND ENFORCE THESE COMPANIES TO PLAY BY THE RULES, CONSUMERS NEED CALL BLOCKING ABILITIES.

I need to have some kind of tool to STOP the robocalls, telemarketers and other outright solicitations to my personal phone. It is very important I keep my phone number and line, but I am interrupted during meals, sleep periods and other scenarios where I would have to stop what I am doing only to hear a computer transfer the call to a sales person or other unwanted call. Nomorobo has made an outstanding effort and has kept me from having my home phone service turned completely off. if the phone company is litigating to allow calls through, bypassing this vital service, then they are not looking out for my interest and should be fined for conflict of interest.

Nomorobo has been a blessing. I have the ability to block calls I do not want. If I block someone all they do is call from a different number. Then I block that and again they call from a different number. What a time consuming waste. Nomorobo has been effective at blocking these nusince calls. It is my phone and I do not want you to restrict them from doing a great job. One that I requested they do for me.

I work from home and actually like to have dinner with my family in the evening sometimes. Robocalls are the most obnoxious and infuriating technological invention of our time and if I could make them illegal with severe prison sentences for people who run these businesses, I would be in favor of that.

I must get 10-15 robocalls a day. I came across the Nomorobo service about 14 months ago, signed up as soon as I learned about it, and am delighted at the fact that it blocks about 80% of the unwanted calls that come in, allowing me to continue my work and my life with fewer interruptions.

I would strongly oppose any efforts to interfere with robocall blocking, and would in fact be in favor of stronger regulations and penalties for robocalling (maybe including publishing the home phone numbers of the executives of the companies that do this sort of thing so we could ring them up to let them know what we think).

By the way, I have never done anything other than hang up on an unsolicited call that does make it through, so anyone who thinks they are effectively marketing their product or service this way is fooling themselves, at least as far as I am concerned.

I hate robocalls! When I see the names of states where I don't know anyone, I don't answer the phone but I still have to listen to it ring. It is irritating and there's nothing I can do about it. You might say that on any list of irritants, it's about a one, except for the fact that I have been listening to the phone ring for YEARS. If I want more insurance or if I have a credit card problem, I will take care of the situation by myself, locally. I don't need a nameless, faceless phone call to solve my problems. These calls have come at inopportune times, when I've been involved in something, or when waiting to hear from a doctor or a lawyer or a family member. I can't call them and tell them how much I hate their calls and for them not to call me anymore. I can't call them when they're sick or sleeping or waiting to hear a loved one's neurosurgery. There has to be a way to stop this intrusion of my privacy, of everyone's privacy. I'm on the state and federal Do Not Call lists. Why can't I stop these businesses from calling me too? I hope I've made myself clear.

Thank you.

As a consumer I am disturbed by the number of calls I get that our fake and scams. Many times during the day and evening they come one after another. 40 to 50 a week. They use fake numbers and can not be contacted meaning their scams. I have been using nomorobo for many months now and we finally have peace and quiet once again.

Why isn't the do not call list work. I believe you know the answer to that ! More government Bureaucracy !

I addition, we thought the requirement was that robo callers needed allow you to opt out and not call again by removing you from their calling list. Another words take your number off the list????? Well guess what they don't. If you answer the phone they just call more frequent. It's not legitimate it's harassment plain and simple ! We all pay a fee to the Phone companies and they do nothing to protect us from these calls. Therefore it is our right to protect our selves. Big business is not the determining factor because of the almighty dollar. This is what it's all about. BS to that !

Take the time and investigate the facts and get real people involved and I am sure you will get the big picture?????

The Do Not Call list was a huge step in the right direction, bringing at least some relief from the annoying spam phone calls that had gotten way out of hand. Unfortunately, that great advance only applies to the honest folks who follow the law. Far more dangerous, and becoming far too common now, are the robo calls from thieves, scammers and other unsavory types that live beyond the law and who prey on uneducated, elderly and careless people. NoMoRobo and similar technologies to block known spammers should be available to everyone. In fact, telcom providers should be MANDATED to make the service available and without cost to the consumer. It's time we put these scammers out of business and this technology works!

They need to be more severely restricted.. Bc even though I register on do not call. They still keep calling..

I wind up spending quite a bit if time filing individual replies of calls.. And have to re do registering on do not call every few months..

Now they've taken to using local area codes to trick you into answering!

I want to be able to block unwanted calls. Also, you need to force Comcast to make it easier to sign up for Nomorobo.

Comcast requires you to have a smart phone to activate the service. I don't have a smart phone and don't want to pay the associated high prices for one.

Someone needs to force Comcast to knock off the BS and help their customers utilize Nomorobo, not set up roadblocks to stop its use!!

Robocall blocking products are an absolute necessity in todays world. I receive numerous robocalls and unsolicited solicitations every day trying to sell me many different things. The fact that many of these calls are in violation of the Do Not Call List doesn't seem to matter to the solicitors, so my only defense is a call blocker. Fortunately I've been using NomoRobo for some time now and I couldn't be happier with the results. It saves me time and aggravation from unwanted calls. We desperately need these products.

Dear FCC

The robocall phone blocking application (nomorobo.com) has been a blessing to me. Before becoming a member of nomorobo.com, I was receiving robo calls every evening when I came home from work. I also received them on saturday and sunday mornings and evenings. This has got to stop. It is an invasion of my quality of life.

Although a small number of calls get through, the nomorobo program has done a great job in decreasing the number of these calls. It and programs like it must continue to thrive for the consumer who values her privacy. Please allow these programs to exist and grow in order to keep criminals hackers, spammers, and low lifes at bay.

I have used Nomorobo for several years and it has stopped some, but not all robo calls. However, my carrier ATT will not do anything to help stop the nuisance calls. Please do what you can. I don't answer any calls from numbers I don't know right now but it still is a nuisance to hear the phone ring twenty times a day and now my cell phone is doing the same thing. Ridiculous.

I found that my retired life was unbearable, with several unsolicited robocalls every morning and several more every evening. Almost all of them kept calling even after I told them I didn;t want their calls.

And the calls were--every one of them--obvious scams! Why would you want to prohibit me from blocking these? Do they pay for this service from you?

Luckily, a friend told me about the Nomorobo service, which has been totally wonderful.

Please help us poor citizens by making it even easier to block these nasty calls.

And don't let the communications companies tell you to prohibit blocking! It'll be a sad day when you listen to them instead of the many people who beg for more help from you in blocking these noxious calls.

Please allow consumers to have choices in eliminating unwanted robo calls. They are a nuisance, and even when you tell the caller when they get on the phone to take you off their list, they don't.

Accordingly, services to block those type calls should be available to consumers.

I believe all robocalls should be illegal. Most of the time there is nothing but dead air on the line for close to 30 seconds after I answer the phone and if I phone people over and over again without saying anything for 30 seconds or more it is called harassment. The political robocalls are the worst. At the least I should be allowed to block those calls if I don't want to receive them. I am paying my phone bill, they aren't.

I have a phone for MY convenience, not for the convenience of those who want to interrupt my dinner (and TV, and parties, and sleep, and...) to try to sell me products in which I have not the slightest interest.

I have been using Nomorobo for quite a while and have found it be largely effective in stopping this annoyance. I strongly urge you to make it, and other robocall blockers, more widely available to the public.

No one I know welcomes robocalls and thinks of them as anything other than phone spam.

Please do the right thing for consumers, act in the public interest, and do not cave in to the phone companies. They will still make plenty of money without robocalls.

These calls are annoying. Especially when you have people in your family with health problems, or even more closely than that, YOUR ACTUAL HOUSEHOLD. I don't have time to entertain these calls, especially the ones about credit card services. I don't like those, always push the option to have my number removed, & it's never been removed. Even when my recently departed Elderly Father had this phone number, he would get these calls. & HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A CREDIT CARD. WHEN HE'D PUSH THE OPTION TO TALK TO SOMEONE, THEN HE'D TRY TO TELL THEM TO STOP CALLING, THEY'D NEVER LISTEN, THEY'D HANG UP. TO ME THAT'S SPAM, & A SCAM. SINCE IT'S NOT REMOVING THE NUMBER AS REQUESTED. & NOT WILLING TO RESPOND TO EACH PERSON'S COMMENTS, OR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS.

Now UNLESS THE FCC WOULD LIKE TO LOWER ALL OF THE TELECOMMUNICATION BILLS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE, CELL PHONE, LAND LINE, ETC... THEN I'D SUGGEST THEY START LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE, & MAKE THE PHONE COMPANIES EXPAND THE SERVICES THAT ALLOW THE CALL BLOCKING TO MUCH MORE THEN 10 NUMBERS, OR PERHAPS A SEPERATE NUMBER TO DIAL TO BLOCK THE ROBOCALLS. IDK, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS DONE THAT'S FOR SURE.

I think that until someone listens to us, we ALL need to stop using our landlines, as well as our cell phones, & don't pay the bills until WE ARE HEARD.

The blocking of unsolicited telephone robocalls should not be disallowed. If there is something that should be disallowed, it is the making of the robocalls.

Since enrolling in Nomorobo I no longer have to guess whether or not I should answer out of area, unknown caller, etc calls. If the call is on the list of robots, the phone rings once and then silence. Calls that I may wish to answer still come through.

Thanks to Nomorobo, I have far fewer disturbed dinners!

Robocalls are a curse. Most of them are made by shady operators and scam artists who thumb their noses at the state and federal no-call lists. We were plagued by six to eight robocalls day until we signed up with Nomorobo. This has restored peace to a household that greatly values peace and resents uninvited commercial intrusions. Like most normal citizens, we prize being able to control our own time and attention.

I am a 70-year-old woman. It is often painful for me to get up out of a chair and go answer my telephone. I am inundated with undesired calls, most of them robocalls, to an extreme level. Since I heard about a service which could block all the robocalls and signed up for it, my life has been a lot easier physically and is certainly less stressful. I am so grateful to have access to this service. If the call only rings one time, I don't have to get up and answer it. I have counted up to 7-8 calls in just one morning! They call on the dot of 8:00 a.m. and at the last minute before 9:00 p.m. I urge you to allow consumers to continue having access to services which block robocalls.

I believe in the golden rule of doing unto others what I would have them do unto me - I don't blanket the robocall makers with calls of my own and all I want is for them to cease and desist from calling me.

Each and every day I receive from as many as 6 robocalls. I have tried on numerous occasions to select the option to remove me them from their call lists, TO NO AVAIL!!! It just makes it easier for them to expand their calling base. One call I've been receiving is from groups with the name Career; I'm retired and over 70; why in heaven's name would I want a new career?

I spend almost half an hour each day reporting these calls to the Do Not Call Registry. I have caller ID on my phone and on my tv; which means I can ignore robocalls and unsolicited calls.

If companies have the right to make robocalls then recipients should have the right to use countermeasures. If enough people would adopt counter measures, then the counterproductive activity of robocalls would decline.

I love my Nomorobo. I was receiving up to 10 calls a day from people I didn't want to hear from. I pay every month to have an unlisted number and I still was getting numerous calls. Since Nomorobo the irritating calls have cut by more than half. You, the FCC should do more to protect the people.

I love the fact that despite disappointing us in so many areas by constantly arguing, Congress came together last year to make nomorobo legal. I have a right to stop these constant marketing calls thanks to this legislation and want to continue enjoying it. After 9 back surgeries over a couple of years which ended in a fusion, the last thing I need is to cause myself the pain of getting to the phone to try and politely reject a sales pitch. Please don't make these intrusions and annoying calls legal again, disrupting my home and family life.

I am constantly bothered by robotic generated calling. I have asked my phone company on numerous occasions when they would provide features so that I can use NoMoRobo. No one at my phone company even knows what that is. I even went so far as to buy a $100 call blocker which is a partial solution. I would say that 90% of the calls I receive are from hacked numbers. The phone company doesn't care as long as I keep sending them my monthly payment. Please require all phone companies to offer simultaneous ringing so that I can use NoMoRobo. The do not call list is a joke and is worthless.

I pay for my phones - I should be allowed to decide which calls I can reject or block. It should be MY choice ... MINE. The Do Not Call list was a step in the right direction - but I think it should include political calls / ads / and charity solicitors. Other than emergency services - I do not understand why anybody ELSE should dictate who and how my phone is used.

Robo calls are a waste of our time. They are a huge inconvenience. They are an invasion of our privacy. We pay for our phone and that opens us up to a number of advertising, soliciting, survey, and political calls. We don't want any of them. We can block a limited number of phone calls but in recent years robo calls have become so numerous that we can't block them all. I have asked our carrier for this ability but have been told it is not available. I would rather pay $3.00 to block robo calls than to pay to have call forwarding or most other choices offered. Please od this for us.

Please continue to allow the blocking of robo calls. I am currently using NOMOROBO to block such calls. It has reduced nuisance calls from nearly 10 a day to about 1 or 2.

I was getting close to 30 calls a day from various bill collectors that were trying to contact a former room mate of mine. The funny thing is at NO TIME did the former room mate use my phone number on any of his credit applications. These bill collectors somehow got my personal telephone number because it is the same address as the person they were seeking and started harassing me. I asked them to stop calling my number. They were rude and kept calling back. I added NOMOROBO on my line since I am a Verizon Fios subscriber and the calls have almost stopped completely. This service should be available to all telephone subscribers through their local service provider. I am urging the FCC to force the phone companies to provide robocall blocking solutions to consumers.

Me, my family, friends and anyone else i speak with; think robocalls, also cold calls from charities, local merchants and politicians are extremely intrusive and detrimental to our personal rights and quality of life. Callers are almost always nasty, argumentative, or just hang up while you are asking them not to call again. also calls start in the AM. and continue into the late evening...(4-5-6) times a day.. sometimes more. My wife and I are senior citizens (70/75) with health issues. Lest we miss calls from our doctors/pharmacist we don't need to be answering or startled by the phone ringing almost every hour or every 10 to 15 minuets, in some cases. These calls should most certainly be blocked and prosecuted by law especially since the are using disconnected or computer generated phony numbers so that we cannot return the call and ask to be put on their do not call list... Some of us are on the government do not call registry but we still receive these unwanted calls. sincerely,

On days when I work at home it is not unusual for me to receive 4-5 robocalls a day, even though I am on the Do Not Call list. When I have answered these, I would characterize most as certainly or likely criminal in intent. "Rachel from Card Services" isn't trying to lower my rate, she is trying to steal my credit card information! All are deceptive and fraudulent in some way, and are usually presenting false or unhelpful caller ID information. If automated telemarketing were a legitimate practice technology makes robocalls so easy that our phones would be rendered useless by the constant calls. Bocking and whitelisting services should be encourged, perhaps required. Further, caller ID should have teeth. All calls should have some sort of accountable billed-party identification that is not at the discretion of the telemarketer, and calls that cross borders should be identified as such.

The misuse and abuse of my home telephone by unsolicited callers, in particular the so called robo- callers, had exceeded a mere annoyance and had become a true harassment. I did all I could possibly do to stem or stop the barrage of calls every evening, during the day, and even late into the night. I registered my number with the Do Not Call (DNC) List. I blocked as many individual numbers as was possible within the limits established by my telephone service provider. I reported the violators of the DNC list to the FCC multiple times. I literally unplugged my telephone to pause the incessant calling. All that to no avail. More unwanted calls, more disruptions to my home life, more annoyance and more frustration UNTIL... I discovered and began to use the NOMOROBO call blocking service. The calls still come in but a single short ring and solicitors are politely told their calls are not wanted and will not be accepted. The number of calls coming in has diminished. What a blessed relief this has been!

I still get all my personal and charitable calls, I certainly received plenty of campaign solicitations and calls from businesses with whom I have an established working relationship. So this service works effectively and returns the control of my phone to me and my family members. much more effectively than the DNC list did.

Since the DNC list has failed to adequately protect consumers from unwanted and illegal calls, I believe the FCC must require all telephone service providers to provide NOMOROBO or similar software to block such calls. Too many of my friends and family are in areas where they are unable to use robotic call blocking and they continue to suffer with a barrage of unsolicited calls and scammers both day and night. The FCC should admit that the DNC has failed. Instead of continuing to ignore the problem or pursuing legal enforcement on the millions of complaints filed, the FCC should require all telephone service providers to provide, free robotic call blocking software. Allowing consumers to block robo-calls is a reasonable solution to this very widespread problem.

I appreciater your consideration and immediate action on this matter.

Unsolicited marketing and political candidate calls to private homes are out of control. Verizon does not support NOMOROBO in my area, probably because we are in the vicinity of several call centers served by Verizon or their old central station cannot accommodate it as it does in some other areas. The Do Not Call list is not policed and therefore, totally ineffective. Please revisit these matters and revise your requirements. You are good at what you do. I appreciate your on-going support.

I have been receiving on average 5 to 6 robo calls per day on my home phone line. Usually when I have just gotten one of my grandkids to take a nap or we have sat down for a meal. Many are just dead air when I answer the call, others are trying to sell me something that I neither need nor want. Being on the do not call list is a joke and the telemarketers laugh at it.

Finding Nomorobo has been a god-send. Before finding it, we were getting 5-10 calls per day, from autodialers (many of which never even had a human on the other side of the line) that completely ignored our requests not to be disturbed. We would race to the phone, only to have a dead silence on the other end.

Since setting up my home phone, we have cut our interruptions by 50-80 percent, and it's FANTASTIC!

The National Do Not Call list is only moderately working. It is my right to be able to stop telemarketing calls to my telephone any way that I see fit. The telephone companies should be required to install call blocking features for their customers. My wife is handicapped and it is a problem for her to answer these intrusive calls. I should also be able to buy any type of equipment that I want to be able to stop these nuisance calls. They are more than an inconvenience to us.

I receive on an average 15 robocalls a day seven days a week. Many of these call are from the same numbers who have purchased our home and cell numbers. We receive more calls on Monday Tuesday and Thursdays starting at 7:30 am going until after 8:30 at night. I cannot understand why I do not have the right to stop these calls if I have stated to them that we are not interested in what they are selling or can no longer make donations or want to participate in marketing survey's. We have listed our numbers on the national register for do not call list for both house line and cell phone numbers and it makes no difference. These callers never leave a message because they know what they are doing is against the law. These callers claim that they have the right to continue calling because they are working in our area ( area code from clear across the United States, or they have called us in the past, they are a non-profit organization, etc. When you try and call back these numbers that appear on your phone long, the call will not go through because it states that the number is no longer in service?

Now with these robocalls going to your cell phone it becomes extremely dangerous because if you are in the process of driving your car.

These Robocalls commit fraud in trying to get you to answer your phone by having a caller ID that states it is a 911 call emergency, That it is Bank of America or State Farm Insurance or other legitimate names that turn about to be someone else trying to sell something.

If the FCC cannot protect us from these practices and nuisance calls then we need to put other people in office that will protect our individual rights.

Because my wife is still working, I could ill afford to turn the phone off. Yet when I was trying to read or nap, invariably a robo call or calls would disturb my reverie. I consider these calls another form of home invasion, and no one but no one wants their home invaded. The frequency of robo calls was increasing until I signed up with NOMOROBO.

I have worked in the computer area so for me it is easy to spot a scammer but other people, older people like my mother and my neighbors are not so enlightened. One neighbor, who was already unemployed and struggling like crazy got a call and he ended up giving some personal information and it cost thousands of dollars that he did NOT have to get things straightened back out.

Junk callers, or spam callers; called robo-callers here, in effect steal from me. I pay for my personal telecommunications facilities, and these robo-callers feel entitled to use the resource I'm paying for for their own use. Almost always, there is no consultation with federally mandated do-not-call lists.

Perhaps an arrangement should be made to collect a per-call fee from robo-callers who use facilities they are not entitled to use. The carrier could easily compare outbound calls to the do-not-call list and assess a fee/tax for inappropriate calls. Since it does not appear that there are any consequences or enforcement for law-breakers today, this idea would create an additional revenue stream for the regulatory agency while creating at least some consequence for the decision to break the law.

On a similar topic, why do current regulations exempt "charities" and "political" calls. Why are these callers able to skirt the law - what social good is served by allowing these callers to operate in an unrestricted manner.

When the do-not-call rules were first introduced, the number of instances of illegal calls dropped for several months, until the spammers realized that thee is no enforcement action being taken to make the plan work.

I use the Nomorobo product as a tool to cut down om spam calls. I can understand why the bad guys want to stop such services from running. Nomorobo is the only tool I have to protect myself against spam dialers.

I receive calls from Private Name, Private Number; Unknown Name, Unknown Number; Unknown Name/000-000-0000; and the list goes on. I get at least 10 calls per day from these obnoxious people and when I answer and ask them to put me on the "Do Not Call List" they simply hang up on me and continue to call back. I have put my phone number on www.DoNotCall.gov website three times since it began but the calls never seem to stop and now they are even doing it by fax. We citizens have a right to privacy in all areas of our life and these intruders are not welcomed in any home or business that I know of. The phone companies need to do something to stop these intruders. I tried to get something done by Verizon but they did not offer any assistance. How greedy can they be for the almighty dollar?

This needs to stop and something needs to be done about it. I want to use Nomorobo, but I can't because I do not have a smart phone and my phone company won't let me start it without that.

I receive about 8-10 robo calls per day. I've tried to stop them through my service provider (AT&T) and by trying to communicate with the companies who are calling. I have been on the "no call list' since it was 1st available, yet nothing works to stop these people. I finally found NOMOROBO who won the contest that you created to try & reduce the robo calls. This program has been a godsend by catching almost every robocall. The one it doesn't catch can be added to their list very easily by going online & entering the number. The best thing is that not one of my personal calls have been stopped including my reminders from the pharmacy which are automated calls. This program is GREAT!

Nomorobo has been more than a convenience to me. I have a sleep disorder, and this system has helped me block incoming calls while I am trying to sleep. Also, with severe arthritis it is frustrating to get up to answer call being generated by a computer. I have the cooperation of my doctors, pharmacies, etc., in not generating reminder calls, I don't use my phone system very much, but I am willing to pay for it to have it for emergencies. The phone is for MY use, and I should be able to dictate how it can be used.

We love Nomorobo; it is saving our sanity. So many, many times every day the phone rings - and then it stops after one ring, because it was a robo call and Nomorobo has identified it for us. Instead of rushing to the phone (and I have arthritis so that in itself is a challenge) only to realize that it is an annoyance call, we just pause to see if it stops after the first ring and then we smile and thank Nomorobo!!

I have been bothered when sleeping, sick, and after the loss of a dear friend. First, I don't want credit cards, I have enough. Next, these calls...most of the time there would be no one at the other end. They're too busy robocalling that they don't complete the call. This is very invasive of my privacy. The first time I heard of NOMOROBO and that it was free I was ecstatic. Finally an end to these aggravating calls.

Robocallers are some of the most annoying disturbances in modern society. What right do "in your face", marketers have to disturb any American during the course of their day. Regardless if Robocalls occur on a land-line or cel-phone, Robocalls are a constant disruption to the recipients productivity and are very aggravatting. How many times have we all been disturbed by Robocallers right after sitting down with our family for dinner?

I signed up on the Federal "Do Not Call List" when it was first created. The "Do Not Call List" was a step in the right direction. It did reduce the amount of Robocalls that I receive, however these annoying calls still continue. I have reported several violators to the FCC, however these annoying Robocalls continue. This is why I now use a Robocall Blocking Service.

Robocalls Blocking Services provide Americans with a tool to fight back against these aggressive marketers that only are concerned with their pursuit of profits at all costs. It is nothing more than a numbers game to the aggressive marketers. They have no concern about the pest to society that they have become.

Bottom Line....Robocalls interfere with nearly all Americans fundamental constitutional right, The Constitutional Right to Pursue Happiness", and to live in peace, without harassment. Any regulation that the FCC can adopt, or tool that can be made available, to stop Robocallers should be embraced and encouraged by the FCC.

Everyday citizens are watching FCC decisions. We will weigh-in, in force, when the FCC renders its decision on Robocall Blocking Services. Please make the right decision to protect American citizens, and help make the United States society a better place for us all.

If the phone companies are not going to provide this service for free or as a part of the monthly fees, then a service like Nomorobo is essential.

I feel that phone companies should be able to block these for free and should provide call tracing as well for free for these kinds of calls, but they do not want to because it would eat into their income as callers would just not do it if their calls are going to be blocked.

I hate robocalls. They are an insult to my intelligence. Furthermore, I would not buy anything they are selling, even if I did answer them. Thank God for caller ID! The worst thing about them is that if you are gullible enough to answer one, usually there is no one on the other end when you first say "Hello". If you're still on the line 15-30 seconds later when someone at the other end finally realizes that you have picked up the call, you are subjected to a barrage of sales pitches, non-stop. I have a quick answer for these people-just say you're not interested and hang up. Pity the poor individual that does not know how to do this, or is just too polite. I'm sure there are plenty. Thank you for your time.

I don't need or want timeshares, insurance, "lower interest rate" credit cards, or any of the other myriad of solicitations being offered over my PRIVATE phone. These calls are obtrusive, and are a blatant interruption of my privacy. They call at all hours, including Sunday morning. They totally disrespect and ignore my numbers on the do-not-call list and their latest ploy has been to use a local area code to fool homeowners into answering their unsolicited calls. Surely something can be done to stop such practices.

I'm sure there's a reason you are blocking my phone from rejecting robo calls, and I would guess it has something to do with $, but the number of robocalls that infringe on my privacy daily is unacceptable, absurd, and increasing!

Why is it that I have no say in stopping these intruders… stopping them from disrupting my day, infringing upon my personal time…on my life, not to mention the calls that come when someone in my family is sleeping or ill. How absurd to deny me the right to control this issue.

Do you even know what’s happening? One of these jerks called me daily except for weekends for a total of 147 times! (I have the phone log to prove it.) And the FCC is telling me, "too bad?" Deal with it?

How dare you prevent me from my right to protect my family from ALL forms harassment. The freedom of these robo-callers, these unwanted intruders, should end where mine begins.

The landline phone has become a method of assault in our culture based on all the phone solicitors who call on a daily basis. Putting our name on the "do not call" list doesn't take care of the entire problem, and it is less effective all the time, even when we renew it. The phone solicitor assault is even more egregious when it is a robocall. And robocalls now come in at all times of day. The phone is for optional communication, and being called by a robot is not my choice, not my option.Please allow me to use this optional communication device the way I would like.

In spite of having signed up for the federal "Do Not Call" list, robocalls continue unabated. These calls violate the law and the callers do not check "do not call" lists. The FTC even awarded a cash prize for a mechanism to stop these calls. The FCC must order all telephone companies to do what they can to block these calls at the customer's request. Consumers should have the right to decide who can and can't call them. When robocalls use useless caller ID (ie: "800 service" or "New Jersey") they make it nearly impossible for consumers to screen these calls. When robocalls claim they're from "cardmember services" and it turns out to be a scam to get your social security number with a promise of lower interest rates on your credit cards they put people at risk for identity theft. The robocalls must be stopped and technology to block them must be both permitted and made available to all consumers.

The majority of calls that I receive are random and repeated robocalls from solicitors and scammers (often indistinguishable). Easy to use call blocking solutions are required to enable seniors to protect themselves from such calls and to prevent calls from invading the sanctity of homes at all hours of the day and night. The Do Not Call Lists are ineffective as are attempts to prosecute violators since they rapidly change locations, phone numbers, and identities.

Seriously are you people in Washington ALL out of your minds??!! Thank God this company created the nomorobo program to FINALLY STOP the NONSTOP harassment from these scumbag-dirtbag SCAM telemarketers!!

They scam seniors, poor people, the disabled it's disgusting and you want to allow it?!!

I get up to 6 to 7 calls daily and these Slimeballs constantly change their numbers so they can attempt their continued harassment over and over again nonstop!! Most of these lowlifes are calling from out of the country but can get any USA phone number and area code they want and block their number from us and we're supposed to have no recourse??

The National Do Not Call Registry is an absolute complete joke!! What is wrong with you people at the FCC that you want to allow this? Oh that's right I suppose another corporate pay off to line all of your pockets!!!!

This is disgusting and pathetic and we might as will be living in a Third World country for you to even entertain this as a topic of concern.

Why don't you idiots worry about the real issues going on in the United States not taking away a program that blocks these menacing calls.

Not only can I block with nomorobo thank God I can also block these scumbags through my carrier and you want to take all this away for what reason?? What a bunch of ignorant douche bags you are!!!

The Do Not Call registry is nice, but as you know, not completely effective. Services like NoMoRobo have done a tremendous amount to help us avoid dozens of robo calls every month. Please do all you can to support such services. Also, if we could remove the exemption the politicians enjoy, that would be great too. Every election season we get dozens of calls per week by some idiot politician interrupting our dinner. They shouldn't be able to exempt themselves from the law, and we should be able to block those calls too!

I live in a small town in a largely rural state, Oklahoma. I had no idea how bad the robocall situation was until I retired last year. In my little town in my rural state I was averaging eleven robocalls PER DAY at my house on my land line. I have had to buy a call blocker just to survive! Not only is it annoying but also dangerous. Most of the calls were attempting to obtain private data or impersonating Microsoft in an effort to takeover my PC or selling something with the assurance that Medicare would pay for it, etc. In other words, robocalls are scams or spoofs that can harm people.

My internet provider, owned by AT&T, provides software in an attempt to block junk mail. Why shouldn't the same company provide the consumer with a means to block robocalls?

Robo calls are a profound form of invasion of privacy. As long as there is a proven block for these types of calls on landlines, the mobile phone industry is negligent for not taking advantage of nomorobo for their customers. It becomes an abuse on the part of the mobile phone companies not to provide a means for their customers to utilize this tool.

On October 2, 2014 my husband died of cancer. During his illness I was constantly interrupted by many robocalls each day. I have blocked as many as I can and have used nomorobo to help me block them. People should not have their lives interrupted by these calls! My husband required 24/7 care and did wind up in a nursing facility. However, before he ended up in the nursing facilities, there were many, many days that we sat here waiting for doctors/nurses/hospitals/insurance companies to call us back, To have the phone line tied up by these robocalls is wrong!!! I am outraged that I do NOT have the power to control who calls my home. When a person is terminally ill, it is important that the phone line remain free for medical personnel to make contact, not some idiot selling something! I want control over the phones I pay for and I want it now. I am damn sick and tired of it!! Give me the power to block each and every one of them!! Thank You!

I consider robocalls to be an invasion of privacy. I never answer my phone until I've checked my caller ID. If it's not a number I recognize, I don't answer. It is annoying when sitting in another room, the phone rings, I jump up to see if it's a familiar name/number. We're in our 80's, and it's very annoying to get up and go to the phone to see who's calling. I'm now understanding why so many people have given up their landlines and rely only on their cell phone.

Originally, I was pleased with the DoNotCall list; it helped keep spam phone calls from getting to me. But in recent years, companies have ignored the DoNotCall list. Apparently there is no enforcement for the list, so spam phone calls have become rampant. We either need enforcement of the list, or some other way of protecting ourselves. Technology is available to stop robocalls at least. We need to be allowed to use this technology. Phone companies must allow us to block unwanted calls.

It is really frustrating to have them keep calling you even after you tell them a dozen times to quit calling and to take your number off of their call list. They refuse to listen to people even when you cuss and yell at them over the phone, which is probably against FCC rules also, but you get to the point where you do not care any more, you just want them to stop calling you, especially when you have had no previous contact with them. I really like NOMOROBO calling system because it has all but eliminated these types of phone calls.

In reality, most robo-calls not only disturb the recipients by their mere existence, but if the recipient answers the call, ther is very seldom anyone to talk to when you answer it. Our phones have become nuisances to be used against us at our cost.. We should be required to opt in on an individual caller basis to even receive any robo-calls. Robo- calls are possibly the greatest aggravating nuisance of this age.

With spyware on the Internet, I am getting more and more unwanted phone calls to go with the spam on my e-mail. I wish there were some way I could do more than just "opt out" on unwanted commercial calls. Can you help? My local phone provider can't, or won't.

Robo calls have gotten out of control. If you do try to call back to see who it is, you get told that the number is no longer in service. Many of them are Internet calls. Nobody can block these kinds, nor from a toll free number.

Most folks are on the Do Not Call list, but it makes no difference.

We need your help.

I get woken up at all hours by the phone and when I answer it is either a recording and or silence. Even the live telemarketers are disrespectful and use only my first name, which I have never used except for legal purposes, and will not take no for an answer. I am 68 years old and have no use for what they are selling and am too polite to slam the phone down but the courtesy is wasted on the pushy sales people. Nomorobo has saved my sanity and should be available to anyone who wants to use it. I am a disabled veteran and deserve to have my peace now.

You can stop the scam calls. All you have to do is return control of our phones to us. We pay for them. We pay for unlisted numbers robocallers use to disturb us and scam us. Our phone companies have the ability to block the calls we do not want to accept. They are the key. If they will not do this voluntarily, you must make them do it. Please make them give us, the consumer, the right to be contacted by only those parties we choose. We pay them for the ability to communicate with those we wish to, but our telecommunication providers appear to have absolutely no concern for our wishes. We pay them. We should decide who contacts us. Do something.

I hate robocalls. I hate all kinds of telemarketing but I especially hate robocalls.

They're supposed to be illegal in California. It's not enforced and the prohibition's ignored. The phone company won't do anything.

Nomorobo's been a godsend. They block at least three, maybe five nuisance calls each and every day.

I pay the bill, I don't want to hear from people that I have no personal or business interest in. I can call the people or businesses that I want to have a relationship with. It is really an invasion of my privacy, ,it like having strangers knocking all day or night on your front door or approaching you when you are spending time with your family and friends, having your religious service interrupted. If you want to allow this then have the unwanted callers to pay a fee to me to be bothered by them. I don't open unsolicited mail or invite unwanted people into my home. Give me and other americans the same freedoms that you and other public figures enjoy, a private number, a way to reject unsolicited calls, emails, faxes, mail or anything else that we have no interest in. Block any call that is "spoofed", or that has no valid caller ID. Have some "BALLS", and identify these people, and companies, apply a fine of $1000 for 1st offense, $5000 for 2nd and jail time for the 3rd offense. We have laws to prevent bullying, but, we allow crooks and swindlers to call and abuse, and extort hard earned funds from elderly and innocent victims. I don't care about the outrageous profits that these call mills and advertisers make buying and selling list of possible victims, fine them for providing my numbers to people that I have no relationship with.

I'm seriously annoyed with unsolicited calls.

But, what really annoys me is answering the phone to hear some computer telling me to hold on and be connected to a representative. If I wait, someone comes on the line to ask who I am and what I want. You called me, idiot! Thank goodness Nomorobo is here to help us ward off the onslaught of calls.

Telemarketing and automated robo calls are more than a minor annoyance they are a major issue, as most calls promote scams or illegal offers. My phone company does not allow call blocking. The FTC ran a contest to find a method to block robo calls. The phone carriers are thwarting the winning method. Please force the phone carriers to allow the FTC approved method. The do not call list is totally ineffective.

I currently have robo call blocking and am very grateful that the phone now only rings once instead of several rings before my answering machine would pick up and then my outgoing message would play out loud while I'm trying to watch a TV show. I was repeatedly pausing my show so the rings and message would play out. I would get several calls every evening all the way up until 9 pm. How frustrating is that, that you can't enjoy a nice quiet night home relaxing before bedtime. Robo calling is harassment. And they keep calling night after night after night. People have the right to quiet without having to resort to unplugging or turning off their phones.

We have received calls for years and they are very upsetting and getting worse. The callers are getting clever and using phone numbers that one is familiar with so you answer thinking it as an important call. I have responded and tried to "opt out" of their calls but that does NOT happen. In our honest opinion, this is HARASSMENT and preys on a very vulnerable group called senior citizens.

As long as I pay for my service I should have say about who can call me.

Quit making it easy for the scammers of the world to take advantage of us.

Remember it's "We the people" not "We the corporations".

You already let spoofing get out of hand don't tie our hands even further.

I got a call from my own number one day, and I seriously hope they are not using my number to pull more scams on others. I pay for my number and I am not happy it is being spoofed to rip people off.

Nomorobo has drastically cut back on my unwanted calls and I am happy with the service. I can only block so many numbers and the scammers have a unlimited supply of new numbers. You see how frustrating this is for us as consumers. If you do decide to cut off services like nomorobo, I hope you publish everyone who works for the FCC's home phone number so it is available to everyone so you can feel our pain too. p.s. DoNotCall list only works on companies who obey the law so it really offers very little protection against the crooks. mike smith marietta ga

Robot calls should be illegal. Until it is, telephone subscribers should be allowed to block them.

About 99% of the time when I go to my phone, I see Unavailable, Not Available, Blocked, and "area codes" from outside my area. Right now I have 25 calls from 15 different "area codes" outside my area, and several more from local ones. I have Call Blocking, but I can only block so many calls, then I have to go to the trouble of deleting some before I can block more, and most often, they can't even be blocked. If you pick up the phone to ask them not to call again, there's usually no one on the other end, and anyway that just tells them that they have reached a valid number. The "Do Not Call" list means nothing to them. I have reported some of them, but the worst offenders either don't show their whole number or they show no number at all. This is a huge nuisance. If Nomorobo can help with this problem, why shouldn't consumers have the right to use it?

Robocalls are an invasion of my privacy. During the day robocalls waste my time and harm my ability to earn a living. I feel I have the right to employ any type of product which allows me to block robocalls and any sort of SPAM calls. I feel very strongly about this, especially because all of my phone numbers and family numbers are registered with the state and federal 'Do Not Call' programs. I've had to make many complaints with my state Attorney General office do to 'Do Not Call' violations.

I absolutely hate it when anyone calls to try to sell me something on the telephone. I will never buy anything from such callers.

The federal Do Not Call service does not work, as I receive dozens of unwanted calls from robocalls and local merchants. The FCC or FTC should enforce the do not call rule, and impose penalties.

NoMoRobo stops about half of the unwanted calls, but new numbers keep calling me, faster than I can keep registering them.

The phone company should make it easy to block calls, and publicize that service.

I have signed up for every "no call" list ever put out. However, everyday I get dozens of robo calls. I use robo call blocking, but the phone still rings before the call can be blocked. Several callers have even figured out how to beat the robo call blocking system. There needs to be "real and certain" penalties put into violations of the do not call laws. Right now the rules, laws, etc., are useless and there is no simple way for the consumer to stop the harassment. We need an effective way that puts an end to this practice. The robo call blocking product is the best tool available to us right now, but it still allows the call to ring into the home before it diverts the call, which is annoying. We need penalties so severe and certain that the practice of violating no call lists is prohibitive. If robo calling tools can detect a robo call after it rings, then calls should pass though a call blocker before the phone rings and not allow robo calls to be completed.

Robocalls are more than a daily nuisance -- they have become harassing. I receive robocalls every single day, multiple times a day, ANY time of the day and night, week and weekend. There is no reliable way that I know of to stop these calls -- clearly the do not call list is not sufficient for these kinds of calls. At least using Nomorobo has provided me some measure of peace, but the bottom line is that it is absurd that robocallers can have such unfettered access to my home. It is maddening and quite intrusive.

Robocalls are repeat, invasive breaches of privacy -- in a word, spam; they should be illegal. At a minimum, the public should be able to block them on personal landlines and cell phones. Businesses should have that capability as well, as they hamper productivity in the workplace.

Please do whatever is necessary to eliminate this growing problem as quickly as possible.

I think no one should be disturbed in the privacy of their home. You pay all your personal and private bills and you should have control on who can disturb you in your own home. This goes particularly if you are sick, in the shower, entertaining company, taking care of children, sick in bed, or just resting or on the phone with an important or long distance call. These calls should not be allowed if you should elect to have them stopped. It should not be the cost in money and time to you personally to stop them, but be able to elect to block them.

Please, please make it stop! Even though our phone number is unlisted and we are on the Do Not Call Registry, our phone rings multiple times a day, nearly every day, with unsolicited telemarketer calls. If we ignore them, they keep calling and calling day after day. If we answer, sometimes there's someone there and sometimes there isn't. When there is someone on the line, we ask to be removed from their calling list, but often are met with profanity. Also, if we use the Call Return feature, we find that they were using a spoofed number. These people are up to no good, won't follow the rules, and they don't give up. Please stop the robocalls! Why can't we have peace and quiet in our own homes?

Robo calls are an extremely annoying intrusion into the privacy of our homes. They are unwelcome by everyone I have talked to about this. Robo calls can tie up the phone line, preventing others from reaching me and in some cases preventing me from making calls.

Banning robo calls does not infringe on the right to free speech as companies (and politicians) have plenty of other media options for making their sales pitch.

Many of these spoofed, spammed or unwanted telemarketing calls are robo calls. Its bad enough getting these calls on a home phone but so many now get them on their cell phones. So many of the Robo calls are from scammers, who go after Seniors. I google any unknown number that calls my phone or my parents phone. I have both nomorobo and a call blocking device.

The FCC has been a great advocate in the battle to shut down robocalling. The easy availability of VoIP PBX technology has caused an explosion in fraudulent calls, hiding behind fake or stolen caller ID numbers. These calls cause serious financial and emotional hardship for victims of identity theft, financial scams, and harassment.

The telecommunications industry would rather let these scams continue, than have consumer-friendly regulations in place that might limit their ability to sell services to unscrupulous operators. The FCC's vital mission to protect the public from deceptive and illegal communications practices should prevail over lobbying by the telecommunications industry.

Blocking robocalls is a necessity. I am a stay-at-home mom who also works from home. I receive robocalls on a daily basis. No matter what I have tried nothing has worked other than Nomorobo. I am on the national do not call list. I have asked the caller repeatedly to take me off of their list. I have reported the callers to the national do not call list. I have received as many as 8-10 robocalls in a single day. They have even resorted to using my own caller ID as their own, which I find frightening to say the least and had even called the police department for advice. These calls interrupt me while I am trying to work & have become an altogether nuisance. It had become very stressful. I am so very thankful to have a service such as Nomorobo. I don't have to stop what I am doing when the phone rings. I just wait to see if there is a 3rd ring. It has been a godsend for me. Please do not make it illegal to block these calls. If anything, the robocalls themselves should be illegal. If I can post a "No Soliciting" sign on my front door, why can't I put one on my phone line? Thank you.

We were excited when the "Do Not Call" rolled out that there will be an end to constant telephone ringing. Our excitement was short-lived. The constant telephone ringing has started again from telemarketers using robocalls.

We would like the FCC make the telephone companies to make it possible for us to BLOCK any unwanted telephone calls from going through to our instruments.

The ringing of the telephone interrupts your otherwise quiet day when you are most busy just to hear somebody wanting to sell you a repair to your credit.

I received anywhere from 2 to 5 Robo calls a day before I found Nomorobo, I currently have verizon phone service for my home and they only allow me to block 10 numbers. Why won't the phone companies let me block all the numbers I want like my Mobile phone can.

I moved to Lynden, WA in June 2014. I had a new phone number, one that had been previously assigned. I had to many calls to count, all from callers, businesses, scammers robocallers who had nothing to do with us. It was a nightmare. My cable phone company only allows blocking of 10 numbers. There were far more than that. I signed the number up with the Do Not Call registry. Unfortunately, the scammers and robocallers don't seem to respect the do not call list. I was lucky enough to find Nomorobo. I added my number to that registry and, over time, the robocallers stopped. I screen my calls now, do not answer the phone because I know legitimate organizations and people we know will leave a message. I look the numbers up that call and check them online....telemarketers, harassing call complaints, robocallers. Nomorobo has been a blessing. I guess the phone companies get too much money for the phone lines they rent to those awful robocallers and their like.

Supper time is sooo quiet now that I set up NoMoRoBo Calls!!!

This system is so much better than the Government attempt to solve THE SAME problem with the failed "Do Not Call" list(?)

I have been on the"Do Not Call" list almost from the beginning but with the Number and ID spoofing now used by computerized calling abusers, I was loosing the battle to have a peaceful supper!

My Phone company's allotted 30 number blocking list is full to capacity!

And by the way, don't EVER allow telemarketers begin to call Cell Phones, as we always hear about all the time via e-mail!

Consider the lost of revenue from all those that will switch from non-wireless land-line phones to only wireless phones in order to avoid telemarketers!

Even with being on the Do Not Call list, we get lots of unsolicited robocalls. We never answer them, they leave no messages, and are generally disturbing to our peace of mind. We've used NoMoRobo for a while, and at least it lets us know when we get a detected robocall by blocking the call after 1 ring. We would appreciate getting NO robocalls at all, so we ask you to do all in your power to prosecute violators of the Do Not Call list, and enabling products like NoMoRobo to assist us when they do violate.

I have been using Nomorobo on my home phone for about a year now and WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES to the peace and quiet of my house. Annoying robot sales calls, from persons I have no intention of speaking with are dealt with in an efficient manner. This does no harm to the caller, their computers simply move on to the next number. I on the other hand am not forced to deal with what on some days is easily 8-10 unsolicited sales calls. AND I AM ON THE OFFICIAL DO NOT CALL LIST.

If cold call sales people are allowed to use technology to dial out to thousands upon thousands of phone numbers at least we the people should be able to use technology to say NO THANK YOU. It would be a serious blow to telephone/telecommunications users such as myself should the FCC or other governmental agency step in to deny me access to technology such as Nomorobo.

Thank you.

Robocalls are a bloody nuisance and a blight. Uninvited they intrude at all hours without regard to the disturbance they create.

I have been using NOMOROBO since is was made available. I have

Verizon as my phone provider, and have had no problems with Verizon not wanting Nomorobo to block robocalls. However, it appears the AH's making robocalls have found a workaround Nomorobo. I get many unwanted telemarketer calls on a daily basis - showing "Unavailable" or

"Out of area" on my caller ID. In many cases, they do not show area code either. Additionally, when I have tried to call back to test if it is a "live" number, I usually get "this number is no longer in service", which leads me to believe it's a "spoofed number". I feel strongly that the FCC should take the necessary action to require all land-line phone providers to allow their customers to install Nomorobo, if they so desire.

To take it one step further, Nomorobo should be expanded to block non- robocalls as well.

We use NoMoRobo to block unwanted calls because Verizon's call blocking options can't do the job completely. With Verizon we can choose to block ALL calls, or block ALL calls that have no caller ID, or block calls from a limited quantity of specific phone numbers.NoMoRobo has no limit on phone numbers we can add to their database. If someone calls us and their phone number matches a number in the NoMoRobo database, we hear only one ring before the caller is disconnected. Why is this a problem for Verizon ? Why doesn't Verizon offer a similar service ?

If the schemes perpetrated by phone scammers -- identity theft, real estate fraud, securities fraud, even extortion -- were conducted via mail, they would likely be prosecuted for violating federal mail fraud statutes.

But while the US government looks unkindly upon anyone using the USPS for fraudulent activities, phone scammers seem to do so with impunity, because I have no way of finding out who they are, where they're calling from, or stopping their unwanted calls from reaching me at all.

And so, I'm forced to endure robocalls with spoofed caller IDs (identity theft), non-existent property investments (real estate fraud), pump-and-dump stock scams (securities fraud), or threats of lawsuits from "Internal Revenue Services [sic]" unless payment is made (extortion).

Phone carriers are unwilling to provide customers with effective measures to block or prosecute unwanted robocalls, and blithely ignore the inconvenience and potential illegality of these practices.

And the National Do Not Call Registry is an impotent, unenforceable sham. Despite my being on both the National DNC registry as well as my state's registry, these calls persist.

Services like Nomorobo provide a valuable and wanted service to fill the void created by the inaction and indifference of the phone carriers. If you can't compel the carriers to act against fraudulent phone practices on behalf of US phone customers, AT LEAST don't obstruct the free market from providing innovative and useful solutions on our behalf.

I have been so disappointed in my government. I signed up on the Do Not Call List when it was first established. And in the beginning it worked. And then it began not to.

I thought there were laws preventing unwelcome callers, and so I dutifully reported each unwanted caller. But nothing happened. It became a demonstration of the ineffectiveness of the government, and particularly the FCC.

And then we found NoMoRobo.com. Finally, peace at home in our time. NoMoRobo has stopped over 90% of the robo-calls to our home. I know this because we still get one ring, and then it goes to NoMoRobo. The ratio of those one-rings to the telemarketers that still get through is more than 9:1. AND robo-calls that I DO WANT still get through, eg., the pharmacy notifying me that a prescription is ready. AND it’s FREE. All hail NoMoRobo.

But there is so much farther that this could go. While this works on my home Verizon FIOS system, my understanding is that ATT Wireless is keeping NoMoRobo from working, and whereas telemarketing calls on my wireless have previously been small, annoying they have begun to increase also.

It seems incredible to me that the FCC would even consider a proposal from the phone companies asking to stop companies that block robo-calls. REALLY!! The FCC cannot do it's own job with the Do Not Call List enforcement, and now they might consider stopping private companies from doing that by giving in to huge phone companies. Just exactly who is the FCC trying to represent??

We get so many robot calls we hesitate to answer our phone sometimes -- and sometimes we've missed important calls because we didn't answer!

These robo calls are annoying, invasive, and a waste of our time. Please, please require all phone companies to provide ways for us to block robo calls. And tell them not to charge us a fee for the opportunity to block robo calls.

I spoke to our Comcast billing dept. just today to ask why our monthly bill has gone up again. And why we get charged a "Regulatory Recovery Fee" which is "neither government mandated nor a tax, but is assessed by Comcast to recover the costs of certain federal, state and local impositions related to voice services." Aren't the fees they charge for their services supposed to cover their expenses plus provide an income?

The most irritating thing is a robocall that keeps calling and calling.

Had one that for 6 months would call me everyday at 9:00 AM. This is an invasion of my privacy, plus the disruption of my sleeping schedule.

And nine times out of ten, you don't know who the caller is, because the information is blanked out, the word unknown is used.

My phone is for my benefit not for a sales operation, a politician to toot his horn or someone wanting a donation.

All this should be blocked, period. I'm paying for my telephone service, not the robocallers.

Registering all my family's phone numbers in the National Do Not Call Registry did not reduce the telemarketing calls we receive. Submitting complaints on the National Do Not Call Registry appears to be hopeless, as we never know the results and our complaints do not reduce the repeat calls we receive. We have to answer our phones to get messages from our kids, their schools, and other valid communications. We seem to be getting more scam and telemarketing calls from all over the world. Too many telemarketers are untouchable, and the laws and regulations to prevent violators seem less and less enforceable.

Technology allows telemarketers to acquire new numbers and discard them at will. Proof of this is the latest trend to use local numbers that look familiar to us on caller ID so we will pick up the phone. How do we know when such a call is from one of our kids who may have lost their phone, run out of battery, or is stranded in some way and has barrowed another friend’s phone? We must answer calls from local and familiar numbers. Most telemarketers are using robocall technology, this separates them from valid callers and provides a way to identify them. According to the FCC's web site" The vast majority of telephone calls that deliver a prerecorded message trying to sell something to the recipient are illegal." So it's no wonder telemarketers hide behind their technology and use it to obscure themselves.

Our political representative’s good intentions to try to control technology with legislation almost always results in innovation and the birth of pirate organizations who figure out how stay ahead of the "rules" they create. Lawmakers unfortunately just can't keep up with changing technology. The only way to fight technology is with technology and the only technology that has worked for us is NoMoRobo.com. For us, NoMoRobo.com has made the telemarketers technology ineffective, and they do it for free! Please don't leave us defenseless by handicapping, limiting or taking away our defenses. Please support the innovation of consumer protection technology like NoMoRobo.com.

I believe that I should have the right to block robocalls from interrupting my days, evenings and meals. Despite the fact that I am registered with the DoNotCall system and with nomorobo, I continue to receive these annoying and intrusive interruptions. As the protector of the public's privacy, I believe the FCC should be doing more to help us avoid this nuisance.

Robocalls have seriously affected how we use our phone at home. My husband suffers from dementia, and I do not want him to answer sales calls. I am afraid he will unwittingly give out credit card, bank information or his social security number to strangers he has no business dealing with. In order to circumvent potential problems, I limit our phone to 3 rings, check caller id when possible, and let the answer machine catch the legitimate calls. Friends and family are instructed to contact us on the cell phone. Our home phone has become a hassle, no longer the beneficial tool it once was. Please allow consumers the ability to choose for ourselves if we want solicitation calls to be allowed to enter our home. Allow us to decide to use a robocall blocking product. Thank you.

Nomorobo has been a great service as I value my time and don't want to waste a minute of it answering a phone call I don't have any interest in.

We were getting almost 50 robo calls per week. That's significantly more phone calls than we get from friends and family. It's annoying, and we could not get them to stop. We enlisted the nomorobo service, and that has cut it down a bit more than half, but it's not enough. The phone service providers have much more capability to screen these calls than an indirect service can. I would prefer not to receive the calls at all, but facilitating my ability to control receipt of such calls would at least be a start.

Robocalls waste time. Time used to get to the phone, the seconds necessary to determine it is a robo call, the time to get back to what you were doing. And, let's face it, it takes time to "get back into" what you were doing. Yes, we can hang up, but why do we have to lose all that time. If we like the politician, we will vote for him. I can state as a fact that I have voted for the opponent of a robocaller because I resent being hassled. When they have NEW information to impart, they have a press conference. Robocalling is harassment by anyone who uses it - be they politicians or sales people. Please stop it !

With robocalls blocked, our lives are more stress free. We were always rushing to get to the phone before the party hung up in case it was an important call. Often when we picked up the phone there would be no immediate answer because the caller had dialed several phones at once and we were not the first to pick up. In other situations we would receive calls over and over again from the same advertiser and often they were from different cities or parts of the country. Robocalls do not respect privacy.

Robocalls are a nuisance to anyone's quality of life. I get as many as 6 to 8 robocalls daily. When I call back the caller ID phone that is calling to get them to stop calling is usually a "non working number" so I cannot find out who it is that is calling. Most of these numbers are random computer aided phone numbers that are in a data base of non working phone numbers that they get to appear in the caller ID so you cannot report them to the FCC. Robocalls are total shame, probably a crime in the way that no one find out who they are or where they are calling from.

I called you guys about 18 months ago because I was getting calls from Rachel From Credit Card Services up to five times a day. The problem (reason I didn't just change my phone #) was that the number was on all my accounts, Web sites, business cards, letterhead, etc., and all my business associates had it, so I really didn't want to change it. I assume you keep a record of calls to the FCC so you should be able to reference mine. I gave your agent a list of the numbers they had used to call me over a two year period. I don't have that phone anymore, but it was at least fifty phone numbers. I also told your agent that I had proof that robocallers were using the National Do Not Call List to "harvest" good (active) phone numbers. My wife and I have two Time Warner digital phone lines. Our phone numbers are not consecutive. The only lists in the world where are numbers are associated are with Time Warner and your National Do Not Call List. We would get robocalls on our phone lines within seconds of each other. Before signing up with Nomorerobo, we routinely got two or three robocalls a day on our land lines. Since activating Nomorobo we haven't had to answer a single one. This service is a Godsend. Please encourage the cellular phone providers to install it as well. If it were available I would still have my old cell number. (Yes, I finally said uncle and changed it. I don't favor capital punishment, but I'd make an exception for Rachel.)

Robo calls don't care if you have a sick child or parent in your home.

Even when you pay extra for caller ID and don't pick up the phone, you still hear it ringing.

Most of the calls that my wife and I receive are from robocalls or other unscrupulous types despite our 3 phones being on the do not call list. Furthermore I had to cancel data to my cell phone because I kept receiving unwanted spam emails that I had to pay for, 10 cents an email for unsolicited emails (I use a pay as you go service with ATT Gophone). It is far past due time that something be done about these unsolicited spam callers and telephone companies should be compelled to offer a service to block these unwanted calls. Of course since the telephone companies make money from the recipients of the calls I understand their reticence. However I, for one, do not understand why the phone companies can make money from someone who receives a call. Even third world countries I have been in only charge the call initiator. If this was the case we would probably have far fewer problems.

I would like to take this opportunity to share my personal experiences with companies and individuals using robocalls to solicit me for products or services. Rather legit or not it has gone way passed solicitation into blatant forms of harassment. I got them for years on my home and cell phones from sun up well into the night. My wife works first shift and I work third. With an elementary school aged child. After commuting an hour and a half to get home at 5:00am after working 8-9 hours and a two hour commute to work. I could not go to sleep until I have dropped our daughter off. Get home tuck into bed to fall asleep. Around 9:30am sometimes sooner the phone would start ringing. I cannot ignore the phones because of my wife and child is not in the home with me. Not to mention elderly parents that deal with medical issues.

In the beginning I brushed it aside, it was just solicitations. That led to my requesting to be removed from the call list every time. After being assured I would not be contacted again. It keeps happening to date. I have submitted a boat load of complaints to the Do Not Call List, I have filed complaints with the FCC. And it still continues. I cannot disconnect the home phone because of community response and my daughters school contact. I came so close to doing it. Until nomorobo was offered as a landline solution. Today the only time my home phone rings is if it's the school, the job, or an evacuation call. Problem now is my cell phone. I have been dealing with this since 2009. Dead calls, hang ups, solicitations, spoofs, all none stop. Every hour on the hour. Many when I call back to complain I learn the number is disconnected etc. which is hard to understand seeing I just get a call from it. I went to purchase an IPhone because I was told it had number blocking capability. And it does. And it works pretty darn good too. Problem I'm having now I'm getting calls from the same companies with different numbers from different cities, and states. And I'm back to square one with the same results. Companies that use such tactics would never get my business, even if I needed it I would not use them. It doesn't matter how many times they call. If they knocked on my front door and offered it free I wouldn't take it. So these calls are no longer solicitation for me, their harassing me and my family. And as it stands I have no protection, no privacy, and no rights.

Because I'm on the road late at night and early mornings. Not to mention there are no more pay phones in Southern Ca. I need my cell phone not only for personal communication. I need it in case of emergency.

Please help me and millions of others like me. Nomorobo is a free service that gives me peace and peace of mind. I've tried everything else. This works in my home and I trust it will work for my cell. Both services I pay for, I should have the option to opt out, and better yet opt in to receive solicitations.

This way, I get one ring & pleasant silence returns. Just wish I could do the same for my cell phone and for my vacation home in Florida.

Stop wasting my time with Robocalls. I rush to answer what could be an important call only to find a machine on the other end talking about something about which I could care less! Not only that, I get many calls for people who DO NOT LIVE AT MY PHONE NUMBER!

I receive no less than six calls per day and weekends, even more. They invade every bit of privacy and continually disrupt my day. Most days I just let the calls go to voicemail. The calls are a firm if legal harassment and I want to control what calls get through on my phone line. It is ludicrous that consumers have to be subjected to unwanted calls from companies looking to solicit some their slip shod offers as a way to rip off unsuspecting, ill informed consumers. They prey on the weak and elderly with absolutely no conscience of the devastating end result. I have a 91 year old father who answers every call to his phone. I always worry if he will be rooked into buying some useless insurance or hand over is savings to one if these crooks. You must give the consumer control of the calls they receive and stop these scammers before they inflict any more sorrow and regret

I am so SICK AND TIRED of getting phone calls that are hang ups, loud breathers, recorded telecalls - you name it. And this, on a private number that I do NOT give out. How is this possible? But more than how is it possible that I GET them, how is it that I do NOT have the RIGHT to STOP them and block them? I didn't call them - they are calling me! I am not asking the FCC to block these calls, I am asking for the RIGHT TO DO THIS MYSELF. This is completely ricidulous.

I used to get 10 - 14 robo and unsolicited taped calls per day. Since I enrolled in nomorobo, I get one or two. We NEED to have access to entities which can block robo calls for our sanity and peace of mind. Seriously, I am on both the national and state do-not-call lists, yet those people continued to call without regard to the lists. Seriously, if the government - and that includes the FCC - cannot protect us from robo calls, how can we possibly have any faith in their ability to protect us from terrorists? Please show some common sense and make robo blocking available to EVERYONE, and not just to those who have phone services through their computers. Thank you.

The do not call list has not worked for a couple of years now. Too many sales calls are coming from real and spoofed numbers. If the government can't help control this very annoying problem then let the people have the power to stop this intrusion. I use a private roboblocking product over voip and it has worked tremendously.. from 4-5 per day to none! This does not work on traditional land line so I can never go back.

Dear FCC,

I use a service called "Nomorobo". They try to block all the nuisance phone calls I get on my phones, both home phone and cell. These calls are a huge disruption in anyone's life, and cause extreme stress and anxiety. It isn't fun to hear your phone ringing at all times of the day and night, only to have to stop whatever your doing to answer it, and find that on the other end is a machine trying to sell you something.

I pay to have my phone in use. I do not wish to have these stressful calls coming through. They take up my valuable time, and stress me out every day trying to sell me rug cleaning services, and all kinds of things. I get these calls several times, every day, and it's overload !!

As citizens of the U.S of A., we should have the right and a way to stop these darn calls !!

If Nomorobo can do this for me, then they should be allowed to do so, as long as I agree to their terms and conditions. Matter of fact, I shouldn't even need Nomorobo. I should have a way on my own to be able to put an end to every nuisance phone call that interrupts my line. And It shouldn't cost me anything either. The Gov't should be paying for it, as our phone service is Gov't regulated.

It hasn't worked 100% for me since I've been using Nomorobo. But it does help. I can tell by the amount of stopped calls I count every day.

Some still get thru cause they have their tricks. But we need something to put an end to this rash of annoyances in our lives.

I use NoMoRobo. And Anonymous Call Blocking. And smart call blocking on smartphones to prevent certain recognized phone numbers from ringing.

It's MY phone. MY privacy. MY dinnertime, or run, or bike ride, or hour watching TV, etc. The FCC must enhance the Do Not Call regulations to facilitate excellent services such as NoMoRobo and to encourage that the Telephone Companies participate, cooperate and even implement RoboCall and unwanted call blocking.

The commercial value of these calls, and whatever 'free speech' rights these callers, might have, is always subordinate to the Privacy Right To Be Left Alone of the individual.

Technology such as Robocall Blocking is a necessary improvement to our ability to stop others from interrupting our privacy. The FCC must regulate in a way to assure that a robust market is created allowing the telephone consumer to NOT hear from UNwanted robotic or commercial calls. I support NoMoRobo and its principles.

Enough is now far more than enough. Relentless calls - over and over with many from the same number(s). Rarely is a message left - they just keep calling. I put their number on my phone blocking system, but it only holds a very limited amount, so it's a constant battle of remove the old and add the new. Not what I need to be doing all day.

Fix the Do Not Call list (actually, start out by enforcing it) and allow the poor consumer (ME) access to an easy to use and complete solution to this continuous invasion of my privacy.

Thank you.

We are so tired of years of Robocalls. It use to be one could ignore the 800 numbers but now it is bad enough that one has to answer them because even doctors offices and folks you do business with use the 800 numbers. It is so annoying when the same Robo callers call over and over. This pass election was crazy with one political call after another and from the same political folks running for office, it was over baring.

We should have the right to stop Robocalls!

I have been utilizing the services of Nomorobo for the past 16 months and I am very satisfied with having countless unsolicited junk phone calls being diverted from my phone.The FCC is totally useless in eliminating unwanted phone calls from anyone trying to get the attention and money from unsuspecting people whose phone numbers they have acquired through unknown means. Robocall has filled this niche of blocking unwanted phone calls from recording devices which the FCC has ignored for years. You must not allow unwanted crank phone calls to continue. If you enact laws to prevent this type of unwanted privacy intrusion from occurring Nomorobo would not have to do this for all the telephone users who are subject to these intrusions due to your inaction.. Pass laws to stop robot phone calls, which do not abide by the Do Not Call restrictions, ans continually annoy everyone who uses all type of telephone services.

The number of violations to the FTC Do Not Call List are growing expidentially. Not only am I getting calls from telemarketers and robocalls on my home phone; I also getting them on my cell phone. Blocking numbers locally doesn't do much good because they are forever spoofing the number that appears on my caller ID. Many a time I've let the call go to voicemail, tried to return the call only be told that it is not a working number or the number had not been assigned.

I've repeatedly told these callers to remove my name and number from their database but it has fallen on deaf ears. I have an unlisted landline number and cell number that has only been given out to very few people. I don't as a rule give out my phone number online to to complete strangers.

The National Do Not Call List is a failure. The FTC has privatized their efforts into building a national database of "white, grey and black lists" to literally shut these culprits who are committing fraud using "crowd sourcing". The government is to serve and protect its citizens. I subscribe to http://nomorobo.com/ The call will ring once (when blacklisted) and the free service endorsed by FTC 2013 award prevents the illegal telemarketing call from being answered by me or by voice mail as a hang-up. There seems to be a legal loophole, with a financial incentive for Call Centers to invoice the carriers through monthly tariffs for connecting calls either answered by your voice mail or a human being ... This is the reason why majority of calls are hang-ups - because they get paid whether they speak with you or don't speak with you, so long as either a person or a machine answers the incoming call!!!! Either way they are committing fraud and violating the law. It's time to enter the 21st century by reverse engineering this by fighting this as if it's cyber warfare by using automated means to stop their robot calls! This includes the FCC enforcing the laws with wireless carriers, just as the FTC does with landlines.

Nomorobo.com is a God-send for stopping telephone scammers. I use them just about every day. I never pick up the phone anymore unless I recognize the caller ID. Nevertheless, I get far more anonymous calls that prey on senior citizens like me. Nomorobo does a great service for society. I've blocked numbers on my portable sell phone plus I block them on the ATT website. I've filled up all the slots available to stop annoying phone calls. I don't understand why ATT does not have enough slots to block all of them. But ATT is just for the money it makes for calls. So, I urge you to allow nomorobo to to continue blocking the hundreds and thousands of robocalls that I get every year.

The FCC should permit companies to offer products which block robocalls. 'Junk' phone calls have been the death of the home telephone.

I pay for my telephone, therefore it should be for MY convenience, not for the benefit of advertising agencies and scams. If I choose to have these calls blocked it should be allowed.

We are immensely thankful thamkful to Nomorobo for blocking probably 20-30 robocalls per day. The robo calls are what the FCC should be fighting, not anyone who is helping in any way to stop them.

Robocalls are one of the more disgusting and insidius invasions of personal control and privacy invented so far.

The FCC should have no business restricting the rights and options available to citizens to block these aggravations. It is incredible that this is even being considered by the FCC and we can only conclude, without knowing more, that this is a classical case of "follow the money" and some powerful entitities are trying to unduly influence the FCC and it will be corrupted if it accepts what is offered and restricts robocall blocking.

NOMOROBO is a service to protect my family from unwanted phone calls. I read about it in the AARP magazine. It has been free and it has been extremely effective. Our family life is virtually free of these nuisances and scams, which has improved our quality of life.

Please do not affect the ability of NOMOROBO to assist my family as they do.

Thank you.

I signed up with Nomorobo in May of 2014. Within a day of activation I saw a big drop in the number of nuisance calls i was getting. I had gotten tired of the constant unwanted calls, I registered with Do Not Call, but that didn't have much affect. When I heard about Nomorrobo I was skeptical, but signed up anyway. Anything that might help would be a blessing. I'm glad I did. There are still calls coming in, not as many. The biggest thig I have noticed now is spoofing caller ID with loccal names and numbers. As far as Nomorrobo is çoncerned, I would recommend it to anyone that has access to it. I believe it should be available to everyone. These calls have been so annoying that I don't answer the phone anymore, I screen all calls. I shouldn't have to.

Every citizen should have the right to block harassing and nuisance phone calls. And these calls are HARRASSMENT. Once you have informed a company you don't want them to call that should be the end of it; but NO, legally you have to tell them three times before you can take action against them. Which means you have to log each of these calls. Once you have all this information you still can't get them to stop, because the government won't enforce the few laws they have in place. This has got to STOP! Why is the aggressor and harrasser so protected in our society while the victim continues to be victimized. At least services like NOMOROBO gives each person the choice to block calls from numbers that are known to be harrassers. Since the government won't take action to control these companies they should at least give citizens the right to make their own choice to protect themselves. The government "Do Not Call List" has little to no effect at reducing the number of nuisance calls. Let someone who can do the job right do it. The government should be funding enterprises like NOMOROBO. At least our tax dollars would be going to something worthwhile.

I no longer have control over my own phone. I get calls day and night from the same numbers over and over. Sometimes they even use my own phone number to call me. I have called my phone company (Xfinity) and they tell me they can do nothing to help me stop these calls. I have put myself on the national do not call list and reported dates and times of repeated unwanted calls--all to no avail. I pay a lot of money for my phone services and I would like to put a stop to these harassing phone calls. Asking them not to call only makes it worse. Please help stop robocalls.

I am a senior citizen and my wife has cronic disabilities. We live alone, and feel like we are being terrorized in our own home by "robocallers". Our phones are all the do not call list available to us but they still call because they know they can get away with it. What are we to do? We are targeted simply because the robocallers know that senior citizens are gullible and easy to take advantage of, and most have good credit! 90% of all the calls we receive are from 800 numbers and from others who have the ability to cloak their calls in numbers that are not traceable like 000-000-0000.

The phone company offers call blocking features but it is a worthless feature because robocallers can manipulate the caller id to over-ride any and all attempts to identify them!. What are we to do? I really feel that if we can't get help to stop these unwanted harassing annoying calls, either my wife or myself is going to die from the stress or have a heart attack while trying to answer the phone! p.s. has anyone looked at how much money the phone company makes from robocalls?

Not only should robocalls be banned, but the practice of using phony caller ID credentials and phone numbers should be banned. I have even had phone calls that showed my own name and phone number in the caller ID screen. Personally, I think it should be a felony, because it is circumventing the "Do Not Call List" restrictions.

Sue Fay King Ballwin, Mo

The number of unwanted and burdensome calls received is growing astronomically. My phone service, AT&T, only allows me to block 20 calls. This number is ridiculously low and does not as a practical matter satisfy in any significant way the blocking of unwanted calls, particularly computer generated dialed calls that have no reasonable purpose other than to annoy!. Services such as "robocall" are absolutely necessary and should be expanded to permit legal action against harassing entities that place unwanted calls.

Robo Call blocking is a necessity since the do-not-call list does not work and everyone ignores it.

I currently get several calls every day that I don't want and are just machines trying to sell me something.

NOMOROBO has been the best addition to my phone system in years.

Robocalls are nothing more than another attempt by companies to control what they want me to hear and when to hear it. How about 8AM and then after 9PM. I should have the right to decide who and when.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone to be a convenience for mankind. It is... except when one is interrupted by unnecessary calls. That would be calls from solicitors, robocalls, calls where no one is on the other end of the line and wrong numbers. It's well known that the fee for 'phone service is way higher than it needs to be. It's also known that the 'phone company administrators and executives are grossly overpaid. At least, part of the provided service should be the ability to block all unwanted calls.

I can't tell you how many times I've complained about Robocalls. I have pages of documentation where these companies call and disrupt my day and evening. I finally got a phone that will block more numbers than my carrier allows. No sooner do I block one number and the companies start calling back with one number changed. Furthermore, some one started spoofing my name and number. Would I like to block all these companies, you're damn right .. if I need something, let me be the one to call them.

Please, as a consumer, my family and my extended family asked me to plead with you to have robo calling placed as an option on the “Do Not Call Me” or a blocking solution made "more easily accessible to consumers."

It’s an annoying invasion of our privacy, and would like the phone companies to allow an option to stop any future calling of this nature.

It's time to stop robocalls. The FCC needs to compel telephone service providers to allow companies that are capable of fighting these intrusive nuisance calls to operate freely.

I am tired of Rachel from cardholder services, disembodied voices offering seniors life alert bracelets, and the untold scammers impersonating Microsoft, the IRS, ad nauseum.

I pay for my telephone service. I pay taxes to allow the FCC to operate. I should not have to pay for scammers to continue to operate.

Please ACT!!

We are just plain fed up with constant barrage of robo calls they wake you up, they wake up the babes, they interrupt you breakfast, lunch, and dinner. and not just robo calls but also regular sales calls and they are very pushy, you tell them that you are in the do not call list and they say oh this does not affect us we are not under that rule, and they become very rude,the FCC should put their foot down and put some teeth into a law that would stop them because they just do not learn.

I am tired of all these calls I get despite the fact that I register and re-register with the donotcall.gov website.

I'm tired of it and I want YOU to do something about it.

On any given day, our home phone line receives roughly 8-10 calls from 800 numbers. None of the numbers are from companies we deal with or have given permission to contact us. These calls start at 8am and don't cease until 9pm.

This is AFTER registering on several occasions for the FTC's do not call list and utilizing an online robocall service! The next step for us is to disconnect our home line. We essentially took matters into our own hands and enlisted the help of a free service (NOMOROBO) to assist us eliminate these calls. WE DIDN'T WAIT FOR A USELESS GOVERNMENT TO HELP US!

None of this would be necessary if your agency and it's employees would perform the work we are paying you to do. Instead of monitoring radio and television for the use of profanity, maybe you should be cracking down on these offenders who are insistent we absolutely need a home alarm system, new windows, insurance, investment opportunities & the slew of charities (most questionable) who desperately need our money.

In my opinion, your agency needs to have a budget cut.
