How many times has your Caller ID shown something like \"Caller ID Unavailable\" You\'re not alone. Consumers for Fair Caller ID Service is a coalition of consumers and companies that feel cheated for paying Caller ID service fees but not receiving Caller ID service. Every year, Americans pay up to $120 each for Caller ID service but only get caller identification on 30-70% of their calls. The technology to fix this problem is simple and cheap. There\'s no good reason that phone companies can\'t provide it. We\'re paying for Caller ID 100% of the time. Isn\'t it time we got it

I have spent this week cataloging the various service provider responses regarding why Caller ID information is frequently withheld. The lack of accountability remains a significant obstacle to fair service for all consumers.

The momentum generated by this petition demonstrates a shared frustration with current telecommunications practices. This level of engagement indicates that consumers are ready for a more transparent service model.

Receiving numerous Caller ID Unavailable calls with my phone number already on the Do Not Call Registry. Caller ID should always reflect the caller's number.

ive been on the do not call list for years but the unavailable calls just keep coming. it defeats the whole point of paying extra for caller id.
