Robocalls

Since 95% of the spoofed CID's of robot dialers are Out Of Service numbers, why can't Vz just send that list to my call blocker? I went from Nonorobo trapping all but 2 robots a week, up to a now 10+ PER DAY getting through.

Since they make it so hard with the awful coding of ALL Vz pages including the Call Feature portal which wont list the calling number without clicking on EVERY ones Options to copy it, it would take hours to report them all.

Maybe because if they actually made a dent in the number of robot calls we get, they would loose that revenue.
They probably make more from them than they do from us real people trying to get work done between bogus calls.

- Just another way that VZ could possibly help this horrible situation we pay for. Community Thoughts ?

Although I was a Central Office technician for an IXC/CLEC, I didn't get involved with the engineering of various circuits and services as well as the way billing works. I was a "wires & pliers" technician.

Spoofing is an industry-wide problem.

Blocking calls isn't a cut & dry situation. Spoofers have called both my cell phone and my landline using spoofed working telephone numbers. Imagine being the owner of that number and finding that your ability to call telephone numbers has been impacted due to spoofing.

This is actually happening to me.

Using my Verizon Fios landline, when I call telephone numbers controlled by Comcast/Xfinity, I'm being sent directly to voicemail, even though the other parties aren't on their phones. It seems that my telephone number ended up on a list of spammed telephone numbers.

Verizon can't force Comcast to drop the restriction on my line and Comcast Customer Service isn't equipped to handle this type of a problem. (I've had two Comcast phone customers...who I know...try to reach out to Comcast support and they got nowhere).

I've just given up and use my cellphone when calling telephone numbers supported by Comcast.
