NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A bipartisan coalition of 51 Attorneys General with the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, including Tennessee’s Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, issued notices to nine phone service providers over illegal robocalls.

The letters warned the nine providers — Global Net Holdings, All Access Telecom, Lingo Telecom, NGL Communications, Range, RSCom Ltd, Telcast Network, ThinQ Technologies and Telcentris — that they are in violation of state and federal law by routing allegedly unlawful robocalls through their networks. If these companies fail to take action and end the illegal robocall traffic, actions could be taken against them.
“Stopping robocalling scammers is a noble goal that every one of us can get behind,” Skrmetti said. “Tennessee is proud to be part of this bipartisan coalition at the forefront of protecting vulnerable Americans from the slick exploitation of relentless robocallers. This is an issue that affects everybody with a phone, and my office will continue to hold service providers’ feet to the fire until this nuisance is eradicated.”
