Re: Which Cox employee wants a promotion?
Hi Becky- Thanks for responding. I am aware ofSTIR/SHAKEN, better than many Cox employees. Please carefully read what I posted above.. Cox needs to do better than the failedSTIR/SHAKEN. Cox has to create new helpful technology. Which would take very little effort. Again, please consider sending my solution to upper management:Solution is to have an optional PAID by the consumer new program. Wherein Cox blocks all calls that originate from a foreign country that use a US number ID. It would create more revenue for Cox, and more importantly it might drastically reduce foreign spoofed calls. thanks...1View0likes0CommentsWhich Cox employee wants a promotion?
This requires a new thread to get the attention of as many Cox employees as possible. If you take this suggestion to management, I guarantee you will be rewarded. Stir/Shaken is a failure. The number of spoofed calls has tripled from 6 a day to 18 a day. Why? Because prior to Stir/Shaken 95% of my 6 spoofed calls a day would come from my area code and 3-digit prefix. Cox implementing Stir/Shaken verification is working in my 949 + 3-digit area code, because the spoof calls no longer come from .949 + 3-digitarea code.Seems like it's working, no? NO, it's not working the spammers have caught on and now callsno longer come from.949 + 3-digitarea code. Now100% of my 18 daily spoofed calls come from other states where Cox can't verify the number calling, so it rings through to me. Stir/Shaken has literally tripled my number of spam calls. The alternative is it to go with a program where I have to list with Cox all the phone numbers allowed to reach me. No other numbers will get through. Easy to insert all the numbers you use frequently, but forgetting someone, they don't get through to you. Old college friend, old GF or BF, relative you haven't talked to in years. Their caller ID may just have a number, no name, and you're getting 18 spoof calls a day, are you going to return that phone call? No. I can think of many other instances where this doesn't work. One would be phoning your doctor's office after hours for an emergency. Doctor won't be calling back on your allowed office number. Nope he's calling back on his NOT allowed cell or home phone. You say turn off the allow feature. In your 60's,70's, and 80's not really that easy to remember especially if you're dealing with a medical emergency. Result: no returned call saying do this or do that. Nope, go to Hospital. Allowed call list is Not a good option. Nomorobo, 30 calls blocked, Nat'l Do Not Call registry is a joke Solution is to have an optional PAID by the consumer new program. Wherein Cox blocks all calls that originate from a foreign country that use a US number ID. Please someone take this suggestion to management.1.3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Cox refuses to implement protocols to prevent Spoofed Callers
You're only one person, and are not over 65. You are completely out of touch with seniors abilities with computers. Please stop trying to speak for them. You haven't a clue! You can't control who rings your phone. You whined throughout this thread about receiving unwanted calls. LOL4Views0likes4CommentsRe: Cox refuses to implement protocols to prevent Spoofed Callers
Panasonic machine will not do this! You don't know to add the contact because they never reach you! Allow listis a terrible feature. Forget to add an old college buddy, he won't reach you because he's not allowed. You don't know to unblock the allow list, as you don't know he's calling. Like I said Cox needs to offermy suggestion as a paid feature. They would make a great profit in doing so. I hope a Cox rep sees this thread and pushes for this feature I have suggested..0Views0likes1CommentRe: Cox refuses to implement protocols to prevent Spoofed Callers
I would gladly pay an extra fee for this service as I described it. The allow list is useless. Meet a new friend, new dr. new business, or forget an old relative, doctor, friend, business, etc., ad nauseam and you haven't entered their number they never get through.0Views0likes4CommentsRe: Cox refuses to implement protocols to prevent Spoofed Callers
In this day and age Cox easily has the capability tostop those calls thatspoof an area code showing as US area codes, instead of the origin India area codes. They should do this on their own without being mandated.0Views0likes6CommentsRe: Cox refuses to implement protocols to prevent Spoofed Callers
I think Cox has a spam investigative department that can trace calls back to their original country of origin (say India). I believe Cox has the ability to stop those calls thatspoof an area code showing as US area codes, instead of the origin India area codes.0Views0likes8Comments
