report a phone number to callercenter com search callercenter consumers helping consumers fight phone spam search for complaints official government agencies for consumer protection click to learn about registering for the do not call list in your country ftc united states dnc ca canada tps united kingdom how do i block calls on my cell phone traditional do not call lists can be very effective at preventing legitimate businesses from performing telemarketing to landlines wireless numbers do not need to be included to avoid unsolicited calls however they do little to prevent scammers and robocalls an estimated 65 of complaints to the ftc in 2016 were for recorded messages in 2015 the fcc clarified rules that made it possible for cell phone carriers to start offering call blocking services and continues to push for additional changes in 2017 at t offers call protect for free to customers with eligible devices and plans verizon offers call filter for free to customers with supported devices bought through verizon t mobile offers scam block for free on all postpaid plans sprint offers call screener preloaded on android and available for download on ios how do i get the caller s name on my cell phone most major cell phone companies in the u s will transmit the calling number but not the name of the caller without paying an extra fee caller center allows you to look up the via caller id for free without the need to pay a fee sign up for a service or download an app just search for the number at t has bundled it with call protect plus and their app for 3 99 month verizon has bundled it as part of their call filter app for 2 99 month faq t mobile calls it name id for 3 99 month sprint calls it call screener plus which displays the caller name for 2 99 month why doesn t caller id work on cell phones why does it cost extra both the phone number and name are often available but are not included with the basic free caller id service provided by phone companies when placing a call the phone company that is placing the call sends the calling number when placing the call the receiving carrier is responsible for providing the name to the destination phone the problem is that the carrier knows the name of their own customers but the name of the caller may not be known they find the name information by subscribing to several available databases that contain calling name information for subscribers of other phone companies these databases are not free and each time a caller s name is queried or dipped via the cnam service they are charged a small fee phone companies typically pass this fee on to consumers caller center provides the service for free and supports the cost through advertising the result is 15 characters describing the owner of a phone number part of the reason caller id with a name was supported on landlines for free involves a bit of a history lesson with landlines most calls were local and dominated by a single phone carrier so they could easily lookup the names of their existing customers so costs were much lower even the earliest cell phones also included a list of contacts so the name of most callers is already known also wireless consumers have their phone number distributed to far fewer people because they aren t in the phone book so they receive fewer unknown calls today the demand for accurate caller id has shifted from consumers to businesses most consumers simply will not answer unknown callers that are not in their address book businesses that want to have their name shown to distinguish themselves from the telemarketers and robocalls simply have no authority to complain they can complain to their phone company but it s the consumer s phone company that provides the service is caller id always accurate what is caller id spoofing while caller id spoofing is typically used as a negative term it does have completely valid reasons for existing for instance the customer service center for a large company may want the generic customer support line to be shown to consumer s instead of the number to a specific desk this practice ensures that someone will be available should the consumer return the call as mentioned in the previous question the calling number is provided by the caller s phone company and not the receivers so there is no guarantee of accuracy in the u s the truth in caller id act of 2009 makes it illegal to provide false caller id info with the intent to defraud cause harm or wrongfully obtain anything of value even though it is illegal scammers have taken to providing a false call back number via caller id often calling these numbers back results in the familiar message that the number you have dialed is not a working number can 911 tell who is calling and where they are calling from 911 can use a different service called automatic location information ali which is independent of caller id as is permitted through privacy legislation location information is not only used for getting emergency services to the scene of the incident it is also used to determine which 911 call center to route the call for wireline calls 911 operators can see your number address and even the floor or apartment number if you are in a multiple occupancy and provided that information to your phone company for wireless calls phone companies are required to report latitude and longitude coordinates using gps or cell tower triangulation within 300 meters within 6 minutes of a request by 911 operators caller id blocking does not change any information provided to 911 do not call lists united states national do not call registry while wireless numbers do not need to be included on the registry to avoid unsolicited calls consumers may still add their wireless number to the list while the dnc list is not growing at the same rate as when it first launched in 2003 more and more people are signing up every day at the end of 2010 the fcc report estimates approximately 672 million phone numbers are assigned to a person or company the ftc also estimates that over 183 million numbers were on the national do not call list by 2010 from these numbers it is estimated that over 25 of the assigned phone numbers in the us are signed up for the national registry a report by the bush administration in 2007 estimates that up to 72 of americans had registered on the list during the same period the ctia estimates approximately 303 million of those phone numbers were wireless meaning that approximately 45 of issued numbers are wireless fcc regulations prohibit the use of automatic dialers from calling cellular numbes under any circumstance learn more about the do not call list including how to sign up since 2005 any number added to the

rise of the robocall while the growth of new registrations has slowed the number of complaints filed is growing every year nearly 5 million complaints were filed with the ftc in 2019 less than the 7 million in 2017 on september 1 2009 the national registry began accepting all complaints regarding calls using a recorded message regardless of the registration status of the called number as you can see from the graphs below a great deal of those complaints were filed against auto dialed calls that play a recorded message aka robocalls while around 43 of complaints reported in 2010 were due to robocalls that percentage skyrocketed over the next few years to 71 in 2019 total complaints by year complaints for recorded messages stats are only available prior to oct 2019 the remainder of the year is estimated exceptions the dnc list will not stop all unsolicited calls the following types of calls are still legal the registry applies to residential lines only no business lines can be
