Protecting Important Calls from Robocall Blocking

New rules aim to ensure that crucial calls, such as those from emergency services, schools, or government entities, are not blocked by phone service providers. This will make it easier for citizens to receive vital information and notifications, especially in emergency situations.
Key points
A list of numbers that phone service providers cannot block will be created to ensure important calls get through.
The list will include numbers for emergency services, government entities, and schools sending alerts about dangers or closures.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will analyze the effectiveness of robocall blocking tools and provide recommendations.
