Slamming Bill

The Slamming Bill refers to legislation aimed at preventing "slamming," which is a deceptive practice where a consumer's phone service provider is changed without their consent. This often occurs in the telecommunications industry, where companies may switch a customer's long-distance service without their knowledge, resulting in unwanted charges or service changes. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has enacted rules to protect consumers from slamming.
