FCC Orders Providers to Block Digital Solutions Over Robocall Violations
The company failed to address suspected illegal robocalls and correct deficiencies in its FCC certification

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6, 2026 – The Federal Communications Commission’s crackdown on illegal robocalls has identified and punished a new offender.
The FCC has ordered U.S. voice service providers to block traffic from Digital Solutions Inc. after the company repeatedly failed to comply with the agency’s robocall mitigation rules.
The FCC also removed Digital Solutions from its Robocall Mitigation Database, effectively cutting the company off from U.S. networks. Providers operating on U.S. networks have 30 days to begin blocking the company’s traffic.
The FCC said Digital Solutions came to the agency’s attention after the Industry Traceback Group identified suspected illegal prerecorded calls offering fraudulent financial loans and tax relief. Digital Solutions confirmed that it originated the calls and identified three customers as the sources of the traffic.
The company, however, failed to provide information required by the FCC and did not fully correct deficiencies in its certification for the Robocall Mitigation Database. The Enforcement Bureau gave Digital Solutions a final opportunity to provide the missing information and address the remaining deficiency, but the company failed to do so.
“Today’s enforcement action shuts down another rogue provider that has consistently failed to play by the rules to police its network and protect consumers,” Hunter Deeley, chief of the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau, said.
The FCC established the Robocall Mitigation Database to require providers to demonstrate that they are taking steps to prevent illegal robocalls. Providers must submit robocall mitigation plans and certify that they have implemented STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication on the IP-based portions of their networks.
The agency's action against Digital Solutions follows an April notification of suspected illegal traffic and certification deficiencies and a June initial determination order and order to show cause. The FCC said Tuesday's order represents the final step in requiring providers to block Digital Solutions traffic and removing the company from the database.
