  • (e.g., prohibiting operator service providers from billing for unanswered telephone calls). Need: The Commission has determined that the equal access and unblocking regulations established in this section are generally unnecessary to protect consumers of CMRS, and would increase the cost of CMRS service without producing any identifiable benefits. Legal Basis: 47 U.S.C. 154, 201, 218, 226(e). Section Number and Title: 64.704(e) Call blocking prohibition/exemption for CMRS aggregators and CMRS operator services providers. 64.705(c) Restrictions on charges related to the provision of operator services/exemption for CMRS aggregators and CMRS operator services providers.

This provision is implemented by the Commission's regulations at 47 C.F.R. § 64.704(a), "Call blocking prohibited." The proscription has the effect of also precluding PSPs from blocking calls to subscriber 800 numbers, because when toll-free numbers are dialed no distinction exists between subscriber 800 calls and toll-free number access code calls.
