WASHINGTON, D.C. (WTAJ) — New rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) now require cell phone carriers to block text messages from illegitimate phone numbers.
The regulations that went into effect Monday, March 20 are meant to target rising scam robotexts that are sent to consumers.
