Cox refuses to implement protocols to prevent Spoofed Callers

They haven't complied with the full intent of stopping robocall calls with spoofed numbers.  To do so they need to verify the incoming call is not a spoofed number,and stop it from ringing through.  ...

Do Not Call Registry flop.

Actually it's a Cox failure to FULLY implement spoof calls.

At least get Cox users to complain to their license holder (the FCC).

Cox is implementing it.  I'm getting Fully Verified calls....prefixed with ...but also calls from numbers without a prefix.  Perhaps Cox doesn't prefix Partial and "Regional" calls but it doesn't mean Cox hasn't verified a portion of the numbers as per the FCC.

In my opinion, a prefix is useless.  What's the difference between looking at Caller ID to check for a "V" or just recognizing a telephone number on the Caller ID?  I don't care if it has a "V" or not...I don't recognize the number.

I thought the point was to stop ringing my phone.
