Just last week, 8,261 people got Nomorobo protection!

I appreciate it, though it is not perfect -- some marketers continue to find their way through the blocks.

I was a happy subscriber, but was very annoyed when I started missing calls from friends - they called, I heard 1 ring, and they got disconnected as I picked up. I did not realize that this was happening because of NOMOROBO, the the ISP techs (Time Warner RR) were here twice and it took them a few weeks to realize that it was the doing of NOMOROBO, I lost many calls, including bi\usiness calls during those at least 4 weeks, until I disconnected from your service. You should explain that this can happen, or better - fix this VERY annoying and serious problem with your otherwise welcome service.I might join and recommend you if you do that.
