In response to the rise of illegal and unwanted text messages to consumers, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is cracking down on fraudsters leveraging voice and text channels for their nefarious activities. Regulations were put into place requiring explicit effort and participation from both voice AND mobile wireless providers.
In early 2023, the FCC released the Text Blocking Report and Order, which established a new rule aimed directly at addressing robotexts: all mobile wireless providers will be required to leverage a reasonable do not originate (DNO) list for outbound texting to prevent illegal and unwanted text traffic.
