NoMoRobo

I am on voip and have been reluctant to run Nomorobo based on the false positives reported in the beginning. Thought I would sit back and wait a year or two but only good things are starting to appear from this new concept.

It may be time to experiment with this since it really is starting to pick-up steam. Verizon and the other big guys will have to embrace this technology or something like it sooner or later. People are absolutely fed up with the endless calls and intrusions. This can truly make the Do Not Call List irrelevant (as if it weren't already) and give power back to all telephone users. Sadly, websites like 800notes would eventually become less necessary for incoming caller identification since the unwanted callers themselves would give away their hand by how they are calling in. Nomorobo eats this kind of information up and no one would receive any calls worth reporting save the local marketers, pollsters and perhaps wrong numbers. It would most certainly take awhile but I do believe this will be the way of call identification, blocking or white listing in the very near future.

Its time to give Nomorobo a fresh look.

>>  NoMoRobo is a new free cloud-based technology service being introduced at the end of September 2013 and will block 1,261,191 robocallers in its debut. It’s up to all of us to continue reporting the scammers to the DNC list to help keep NoMoRobo’s database up to date.   <<

And what if both the robocaller and the consumer are both on landline phones and do not route the call through the "cloud?"  Given other comments here about how the telcos are complicit and profiting from the unlawful robocalls, you surely do not expect that THEY  will make effort to scrub the robocalls by submitting them through the NoMoRobo cloud.

I do not believe it would be lawful for carriers to decide to run your calls through the Nomorobo cloud based service without your agreement.  Doing so would open them to multiple lawsuits.  The decision will rest with the phone number subscriber.

The carrier need only make the simultaneous ring feature available to its customers, like they have for the similar call forwarding feature.  Then the customer makes the decision, by phone number, to have their calls run through Nomorobo or not.  To do that, they simply fill-out an application here: http://www.nomorobo.com/signup

Just like in call forwarding, the robocallers themselves have no say in how their calls are routed, that control remains in the hands of the phone number subscriber.

Interesting string.  My biggest concern with using nomorobo is not knowing if there were calls I "should have" received.

Nomorobo will block numbers on the DNC blacklist (developed from DNC complaints) and illegal robocalls.  Phone to phone calls are not blocked.  If you are concerned about missing what you consider to be valid robocalls, get a call blocker device instead of Nomorobo.  You would then have personal control over what calls get through to you.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing about that as well for sometime now. I've looked at others forums and even posted a question to one. No one has been able to answer that satisfactorily. I'm guessing if you have a program like phonetray and run it through nomorobo, it might log the calls but if the calls never get to your device in the first place then there obviously would be no record of it.

I have no choice but to wait. My voip provider has not integrated it yet but plans to very shortly.

I am already seeing this. I have been getting pounded this week by these loan scams and every single call has been a different number. The last digit is the only one switched up.

I am very close to having the NOMOROBO system operational in my Time Warner area. Having worked in the phone industry for many years, I fully understand how this system is being setup and how it will work. I suspect there will be some bugs initially, but the system is certainly coded to fine-tune itself and prevent some of the "issues" that many here have expressed.
As individual users, it will of course be beneficial to the user base to report "bugs" and also report numbers that should be blocked and have not, or numbers that may have been inadvertently blocked and should not have been.  I am excited to get it going and can certainly live with a few issues early-on as we do with virtually all new technology that has hit the market over many years.

Still waiting, but apparently Time Warner has an issue with their present version of the required software update. I'm patient, as I know how software updates can clear one problem, only to cause other issues that were just fine prior to the update (go figure?). Of course, this is designed to keep software coders in business and keep the economy going (who's economy? India?)
Oh well!, I will update when things get better. I go back to the Altair/Imsai days, so I know how ones and zeros can be a Mo-Fo.

If it is free... Just  WHO is paying for their operation?

Cetainly NOT the telephone providers.

No I am not a cynic... I am a senior citizen realist

Like you , I have many years in the phone inedustry...good old dial tone, tip ring and sleeve :)

But my BIg question  (garnered from my B/S days) is:   If it is free, just WHO is paying for it?

So Jim-LA, how long have you worked for NoMoRobo?

:)

I am wondering who he works for  :)

Amen.  you said it better than I.

and with the HPPA act, they have to talk to a live person and not leave a message.
