What has happened to NOMOROBO?
I have used Nomorobo for years without a hitch. Now just this week it does not work. When I go to phone settings and click on Nomorobo ON it just reverts back to OFF. I'm being driven mad by calls beginning around 6:00 AM every morning. Please Help, --Dennis--1.6KViews0likes4CommentsNomorobo ~Robo Call Not working~ STIR/SHAKEN Deadline July 30, 2021
What is going on with all the Robo Calls, when NOMOROBO is activated... and has been for many years?????? I believe that our government has given phone providers a deadline of July 30, 2021 to install a WORKING robo call blocker, such as STIR?SHAKEN. So far today, on a Sunday, I have had 17 robo calls. This is ridiculous!!! More than half to almost ALL the calls in a month's time are ROBO CALLS! Does COX REALLY care about their customers? In m y case we do not have another provider available in the area.... That is truly a monopoly! Anyone else having an extreme amount of ROBO CALLS. I know my neighbors are having the same issue and we are all NOMOROBO robo call blocking feature.1.3KViews0likes2CommentsCall blocking of Spam
I have unsuccessfully tried to activate NoMoRoBo and need support. These are the steps performed: Cox->Settings NoMoRoBo->ON Established an account at NoMoRoBo as directed. Unable to Activate in Settings Simultaneous Ring->On Unable to Save. The Save button is grayed out. How do I save the setting? On a related issue, I have seen comments on the NoMORoBo interactions, and its failure to block spam. There are the issues: The Text message seen shows a legitimate address from a legitimate person/enterprise. To remove this phone one must do "Selective Call Blocking", I have seen it initiated as both *60 and *67. Please clarify. The Text message does not have a phone number. See selective blocking above. The Text message shows a phone number which Cox recognizes as incorrect. There should be an option to block all such calls. And to this I not that in order for a call to proceed, Cox must know the actual phone number used. Knowing this number allows communication. Not knowing this number does not allow Cox to initiate of continue the call. Therefore, Cox knows this number and should be able to take appropriate action. And, to this I add, that this is irrespective of whether the actual number is VoIP or conventional. I would like this blocking service!4.7KViews0likes6CommentsCaller 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.0Views0likes0CommentsScam or Real
I've been getting messages from "Cox Business" stating that they need to come out and do a "site survey" so that my TV's don't go black. Sounds totally bogus and suspect. Does anyone know if it has any validity? The last person to leave a message was Chennal and her number was (225)930-2436.3.2KViews0likes1CommentHow to end robocalls
I saw a number of inquiries here expressing frustration with robocalls and political pollsters. Here's my solution which was born out of frustration with the telcos inability to regulate themselves and the FCCs feeble attempts at enforcement. I've always been registered with the DNC registry, but I re-registered all my numbers with the DNC registry and waited the prescribed amount of time just to be sure. Then I started talking to every telemarketer and robocaller who dares to call me. Yes, I actually talk to them. I think of it as taking one for the team. For every second I keep them engaged, I'm saving someone out there from a ringing phone. Rather than be upset, I just let them go through their script while injecting comments and questions to make them think I'm interested. I let them think that they are going to close the deal of a lifetime and hit their quota with a single call. In the end, I make up some excuse like, "hang on, my daughter is calling me". I set the phone down and walk away. My kids know what's up when they see the phone sitting on the kitchen counter with the line still active because they have been properly trained. In other cases I just stop them short after 5 minutes and explain that I was never interested and that they should honor the DNC registry. I've had a car insurance quote get to 4 vehicles before the guy asked me if they were for real... I take a long time to decide if I want to plunk down $89 for a trip to Hawaii, because as much as I want to go there, I need to make sure the accommodations are what I am used to... you get the idea. If it's a political polling organization, I can usually figure out their agenda after a couple questions and then answer completely opposite to what they are trying to "steer" me towards. I have to laugh when they go "off script" to try to sway me and I have to remind them that they are polling me and to go to the next question. And finally, if they get upset with you, just politely let them know they would not have wasted their time if they honored the DNC registry. They can be mad as ***, but the DNC list is really easy for them to access and they have no excuse for not using it. Just imagine if everyone did this? In the end it's a numbers game for the robocallers. They need to hit a lot of numbers in as short amount of time as possible. If they get tripped up on just a few percent of those calls their profit model falls apart and they start looking for a different line of work. So next time your phone rings... Smile and take one for the team! Cheers P.S. The thing that really disgusts me is when I hear of the elderly or handicapped being taken advantage of by these people. I honestly don't know how those people sleep at night.4KViews0likes1CommentNomorobo
Is Cox going to offer the Nomorobo or similar service before AT&T? I personally would be willing to pay the $5 extra every month to get the service. Card Member Services and political calls are wearing me thin. Nomorobo is offered by AT&T U-verse right now for their telephone service. They do not offer it for their regular land lines. If their internet was close to Cox's I'd switch to them right now just to rid myself of robocalls and telemarketers. My number is listed on the donotcall registry and has been so for over a year. I have contacted the FCC numerous times about "card member services" They get 2.2 million complaints about them every year. Contacting the FCC does not and will never work. Please tell me that it is actively being considered because it would absolutely be a way to hold and not lose residential customers. Thank you.4.6KViews0likes3CommentsOne Call; Multiple Numbers
Anyone else noticing this? My landline will ring (4 times before answering machine) and after I screen the caller ID, I won't answer. I won't answer because it's a spoofed caller ID "from" a city/state where I wouldn't know anybody. I'm sure you all get these. My concern is the one call logs multiple callers in my Call History. For example, From...Seattle WA....206-424-8912...09/03/14...05:31 PM...Missed Call - Phone Busy From...Private.......Private........09/03/14...05:31 PM...Missed Call - Phone Busy From...Unavailable...1600...........09/03/14...05:31 PM Notice the same times? This has occurred three times this month. Is this the latest trick to bypass any call-blocking feature, such as a "brute force" call? Look through your Call History and if you're receiving multiple calls at the same time (hh:mm), you may notice this too.5.5KViews0likes6Comments
