"The House is considering a bill that would allow companies to make robo-calls to people's cellphones. The House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a hearing on Friday to discuss the Mobile Informational Call Act of 2011, a bill sponsored by Rep. Lee Terry (R-Neb.) that would loosen restrictions on telemarketing calls to cellphones."

UGH! How many ways can I say, "UGH!" Don't the bleepin' things ring enough at inopportune times without robo calls coming in as well?
One of the things that's very bothersome about this is that people on pre-pay or some other plans, pay for calls that they receive.
In essence, you're forced to pay for something you don't want.

Not that it can stop all of them, but I have an app on the android called "Blacklist." When you get one of these calls it's one tap to add it to the list, and if they ever call again it will answer than hang up so it won't go to voice mail. As I recall it was free. Works great so far.
in my opinion robocalls need to be banned permanently from all phones, not just cell phones.
