According to Verizon, there's one very specific calling scenario in
which it's unable to block potential robocalls: toll-free calls from
foreign consumers that terminate at call centers belonging to US-based enterprises. As a result, the company is requesting a waiver of some
FCC rules designed to block robocalls.
In its FCC filing, Verizon argues that it has long worked to block all
kinds of robocalls and that this scenario doesn't pose a robocall
threat to its customers. Also, according to Verizon, it would be
unnecessarily expensive to implement a technology that could block
toll-free robocalls from foreign consumers that terminate at US call
centers.
