Can we fight the impending robocall apocalypse?

Your phone rings, you don’t know the number, and it’s the third time this has happened today – probably a robocall.

Maybe you saw the report that estimates nearly half of all phone calls will be from spammers by next year, and then you rolled your eyes. Is there no end to the ringing in our ears?

While the Do Not Call Registry is a first step toward retaking your phone line, states are pushing the FCC to strengthen existing rules to stop robocalls. Apps such as RoboKiller help preserve your privacy, too, and your carrier may have its own tools.
