Call Blocking and Telephone 'Chatlines'

The Commission has taken recent steps to ensure that all telephone service providers in New York State are in compliance with the Commission's order requiring telecommunications companies to assign blockable telephone numbers to private entities operating "chat services" on local telephone networks.

Copies of our printable Chatiline brochure and the Commission's Show Cause Order are available using the links to the right.  For more information about pay-per-call or other information services, visit the Federal Communications Commission's consumer information web page at http://www.fcc.gov/guides/900-pay-call-and-other-information-services.
