There's relief in sight when it comes to those annoying robocalls now that the Federal Communications Commission will allow phone carriers to block suspicious calls by default.

The proposal will allow phone companies to offer customers the option of blocking numbers that are not pre-approved.

The FCC Chairman says he expects phone companies to "use this tool and help consumers block unwanted robocalls."

They also voted to move forward with making it legal for carriers to block spoofed numbers, has your number been spoofed before?
