Why this petition matters

Started by Richard Codey

Let's stop the minute-to-minute annoyance of unsolicited calls constantly coming through to our mobile phones.

Calls when we are in a meeting, calls when we are with our children, calls when we are having dinner, calls when we are going to bed – when does it end?

Ten a day, then 15, then 20 – it just doesn’t stop.

Join me and sign the petition to pressure the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to require that all phone carriers implement into their networks, free of charge, robocall blocking technology to prevent these calls from ever getting to your mobile phone.

We need the FCC to make the necessary regulatory changes on their end and then to start this mandate of the phone carriers.

Many of the hundreds of millions of calls are originating overseas. Companies and scammers are using computer technology to dial literally millions of numbers a day. With the push of a button millions of calls go out through the network at one time.

Furthermore, they are using “spoofing” technology to have those calls come through to our phones as a local call by showing a local area code to try and fool people into picking up.

It is time for the FCC to require phone carriers to develop and implement technology that can detect when a flood of calls are coming through the networks and prevent those calls from ever making it to your mobile phone.

 Please sign the petition here, send this along to your friends and family and make our voices heard!  The more that sign, the more the FCC will take notice.

In addition to this petition, please reach out to your congressional representative and United States Senator and let them know you have had enough and that you want them to lend their voice by letting the FCC know the robocall insanity must stop!

You can find your Congressional representative’s contact information here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find/

You can find your United States Senator’s contact information here: https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

To file complaints and contact the FCC you can do so here: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-calls-texts-and-faxes

Lets do our part to stop the insane robocalls now!

Please let me know your personal story with these insane Robocalls in the comment section. Thank You
