CALLING ON PHONE COMPANIES TO DO MORE TO BLOCK ROBOCALLS
- An article pressing why phone companies do not do more to stop robocalls, especially to landline phones. Apparently, robocalls, like those to remind people about appointments, are a black mark on society and we need the government’s help to wipe robocalls off the face of the Earth. Robocallers are “awfully hard” to catch and people with landlines must “suffer” without relief. The article does mention that AT&T last week unveiled a new service called “Call Protect” for its wireless users, to block robocalls, or at least make it harder for them to get through.
