You can stop robocalls [View all]

Last year the FTC had a contest to find a way to stop these calls. Aaron Foss, a software programmer who is one of the co-winners, has now launched a new service called Nomorobo. And it's free.

Nomorobo is currently available if your phone service is provided by: Verizon FiOS, Vonage, VoiP service with AT&T, U-verse, Cablevision Optimum, or SureWest. If your phone carrier is on their list, Nomorobo will block all those aggravating calls and you will only hear one ring.

If your service is not on the list, the website gives you a phone number to call in order to request that your provider join the list. The more people call, the sooner the carrier will consider adding the free option.
