NOMOROBO STOPS UNWANTED ILLEGAL ROBO CALLS - WHY DOES COX NOT OFFER THIS FEATURE?
Cox Communications does not listen to its customers I have been one over for over 25 years and they will not listen to me or anyone on this issue. I suspect once they see this thread they will immediately lock it so that the thousands of customers who have a problem with robo calls (for which cox offers ancient non working solutions) cannot comment. Cox claims they cannot offer "Simultaneous Ring" which they can but simply refuse to do, if they tell you anything to the contrary its complete fiction. Every other voip company has it and all of them also offer nomorobo so that the calls we get from India etc. are blocked. Cox will say "sign up for the national do not call list". That will not work for you because the calls are from outside the USA. Cox knows this but does not care they just spew garbage at us. Cox will also say they have selective call blocking (they charge for this feature) and you can block up to 30 numbers or some nonsense. That also will not work even if you could block unlimited numbers you would get the same amount of robo calls always from a different number so here we can establish that cox is not consumer focused they are revinue focused they want to sell us a feature that does not even work. COX Corporate customer service was not helpful either they spew the same garbage at us. Now COX, do what you do best and lock this thread. Hide your heads in the sand like ostriches. Hide under your desks and pretend this is all going to just go away...28KViews0likes17Comments
Caller ID City, ST-no one there. Multiple calls a day
We receive 5-15 calls a day where the caller ID is a city and state only, and sometimes just The Hartford (up to three times a day). No one is ever there or leaves a message. I have tried to answer to find out who they are, but no answer, just empty air. I ignore them, but it is a time waster and interrupter and leaves us scrambling when it is a wanted caller. Most calls are daytime/evening. They come from all over the country, NV, CA, FL, SD and most common is CT where we are located. Is this a condition of internet phone, spamming, robo calls? Is there anyway to combat it or report it?8.2KViews0likes2CommentsRE: harassing phone calls from telemarketers and spammers
Just trying to reply and ended up here. Cox needs to allow the Nomorerobo system, which is free and available on many other Cable phone companies. Forum: Phone Forum Posted: 21 May 2014 Post Subject: RE: harassing phone calls from telemarketers and spammers Post author: ChrisL One thing I'd suggest for starters if you haven't done so already is to visit http://www.donotcall.gov and register your phone number with them. It may take a month or more to update however once complete telemarketers that have not done business with you in the last 6 months are not allowed to call you at that point.0Views0likes0Comments
VM Prices & Blocked Calls
Hi- I hate that we don't have voice mail on our phone. Is there an additional price to have voice mail? My second question is: I am SUPPOSED to NOT have our phone number listed on anything as well as I have blocked it on the DNC Registry, yet I still come home daily to at least 8 missed calls... all from businesses or telemarketing. If I have to pay additionally every month for my number to be blocked, then I expect not to be getting these types of calls on a daily basis. Where did I go wrong with this ? Also, am I able to block specific numbers from calling our home?3.4KViews0likes1Comment
robocalls
I received an email from Consumer Reports regarding software that blocks Robocalls. With the 2016 election coming I would be very interested in this as in 2014 we were inundated by political robocalls. Even with "Do not Call" we are still inundated by junk calls. Does Cox have this or are you planning to install this in the future?9.4KViews0likes14Comments

There ARE a host of SCAM calls being placed daily, throughout Our United States Of America, and Abroad, from 900 series area codes. When you get a call from one or more, of these 900 series area codes, and you actually answer said call, you will Not hear anyone at the other end of the call which you have answered! You Shall however, hear the distinctive Click, of the phone having been DIS-Connected, (Hung Up). At this point, who ever the SCAM entity actually is, that SCAM entity SHALL, be able to utilize your telephone number, by you having answered said call to begin with, And, the SCAM entity Shall simply forge ahead, with placing an Endless number of International Telephone Calls, which Shall be billed to YOUR very own telephone number, Even Though mind you, those International Telephone Calls, had Not been initiated by you! Another portion of this SCAM, is that Your telephone number, Shall Be, shared with/sold to, many other SCAM entity(s), through the ongoing/endless SCAM net-working, which SHALL increase the amount of International Telephone Calls, which Are Billed to Your telephone number, without mind you, Any End of this type of activity, in the near, mid, and or long term, UN-Less mind you do follow through with one or more of the following.

Thank you for having taken the time to read what I have conveyed herein. Have a good day/evening. Sincerely, Ironhand "SEMPER FIDELIS" Forum: Phone Forum Posted: 1 May 2013 Post Subject: Caller ID Spoofing Post author: zone11 I receive an incoming call, but there is a hang-up either in half a ring or just when I answer. I look at the caller ID and it displays a valid phone number from somewhere in the USA. I call it back, and get a three-tone intercept with "We're sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service or is disconnected..." How can a not-in-service number originate a call? Or more likely, why does Cox's computer not reject calls coming into Cox's system that have an invalid caller ID? Cox talks a lot about internet spam filtering; why don't we have telephone filtering as well?6Views0likes0Comments
