Have received 8 calls from one primary candidate in a 24 hr period -- he has also apparently shared my number with his political party -- 2 calls in a 24 hr period -- and with some issues canvassers -- 2 more calls in 24 hrs. That is 12 calls in 24 hours. This has been going on all week. I MUST have a way to opt out of these calls -- all of them. This is ABUSE. If there is no way to stop the calls, then make them buy an FCC license for each call so cost will be a limiting factor -- and at least the FCC can get some $ to go after the Do Not Call violators..

Enforcement of the Do Not Call List is totally obscure. I have filed my second complaint with the FCC regarding telemarketing and robo calls on my cell and landline. In filing the second complaint I have provided a list of approximately 40 numbers from May - July with as much information on each of them as possible. I understand there are some organizations that are exempt such as political (which I totally disagree with) but the calls are out of control and these people know they won't be touched. Not that they can not be they just aren't. Since filing the last complaint I continue to receive these calls and have begun to use the *57 trace componet. I have also found that there is one number in particular that will not trace. I have had two more calls from this number since filing and I can not trace them. I do have a couple of others that I have two traces on each. I am told it takes 3. But then what, do I have to hire an attorney to go after these people when there is an agency that should be doing their job. I am disabled with a very ill mother. It is an effort sometimes to answer my phone and I must make the attempt because of my mother. I want to answer my phone for only those that are to call. One robo call in particular will not disconnect upon hang up. Their entire message is played first. I know this because after hanging up on them I needed to place a call and could not get a clear line, simply because they weren't finished with their message. What if I have an emergency and I can not get my line cleared. I pay a phone bill monthly, I am on time. You would think we have the right to have only the incoming calls that we choose!!! And I would think I could have a dial tone when I need. I believe a robo call is suppose to give you an option to opt out at the beginning of their message. That never happens.......BUT......why do we have to opt out of their call list when we are already on THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST!!!! I have ranted enough but I am not done. It would also be nice to have someone acknowledge they have recieved our complaints

I am not familiar with FCC jargon. The only part that makes sense is this complaint board. All I want to do is to find out why my local radio station went dead. There were no announcements, no reasons given, just a lot of gossip in town. All I could find easily is that there was an ammendment to the renewal late in January, but no link or suggestion of a next step or any way to find out what is going on. Would you be so kind as to educate us novices with everyday language in addition to your industry buzz words?

I can't find them, neither can the representatives that I called. Any complaint interactions should be available to all parties online. A transcript of any resolved or unresolved complaints that are past their last action date should be available to anyone so that you can see if and how your complaint might be similar to someone else's and how it was resolved or not. I have been requesting written definitions of the terms used on my cable bill, no answer from the cable company, and, surprisingly, no feedback to me from the FCC despite truth in billing. I have asked twice where I can download the informal complaint procedure the the FCC analysts follow, no luck.

When down loading information from the FCC Database using the 'download query tool' the information is very difficult to sift through when downloading large amounts of data. Data is compiled into several different tables in the same text file (same sheet when imported into excel) There are no data labels and the information across tables do not match. It would be helpful if there was at least an explanation for this, but more useful would be the ability to match, for example, a tower owner with the long/lat co ordinance across data tables. Also, it would be nice to know the names of the data fields.
thank you!

Similar notion to a zip-code, area code/phone numbers or license-plate numbers, the FCC can start issuing different kind of identification code system, that is simple and unscattered like it is currently ongoing. Something that is identifiable and still can be kept private; if they wish so. Perhaps some multi-digital numbers, and capital alphas in a form of a minimum of nine-numerals to a maximum of thirty-digit format Example: [YAHOO e-mail address+:#YA-A0001-00000-00000-00000-00001 to #YA-Z9999-99999-99999-99999-99999] then Email address+ [YA#-AA000-00000-00000-00000-00001 to YA#-ZZ999-99999-99999-99999-99999] and etc........and the FCC can decide however what codes will be assigned to everybody that uses the computer and the internet all the time. And The FCC can impliment a code system as of January 1, 2019, which will give people plenty of time to adapt an internet code system.
