Carriers Can Now Block Robocalls by Default

The FCC has voted to allow carriers to block robocalls by default which could significantly cut down on spam calls.

The Commission approved a Declaratory Ruling to affirm that voice service providers may, as the default, block unwanted calls based on reasonable call analytics, as long as their customers are informed and have the opportunity to opt out of the blocking.

This will let carriers block unwanted calls before they even reach a customer's phone. Some carriers currently provide this service on an opt-in basis but the Declaratory Ruling means they can safely enable the feature by default.
