Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul is urging the FCC to help cut down on those annoying automated text messages. The robo-texts are often scams say Raoul, who has joined his counterparts across the country in asking the federal government to address the problem.
“By requiring them, the mobile wireless providers to invest in technology to be able to block these texts form invalid, unassigned, and unused numbers.”
The group also wants the wireless industry to develop call authentication technology for text messages so people know if they are real or not and law enforcement can investigate the source.
