Stop Phone Spam

Register your telephone with the National US Do Not Call Registry to avoid receiving unwanted marketing calls at home.

Have you ever been disrupted by an unwanted call from a telemarketer when you are reading a book, watching TV or late in the night when you are sleeping?

If so, you’re not alone.

Your first step to prevent this harassment is to register your cell phone number with the FCC's Do-Not-Call Registry.

When you've registered callers may only call you when they
- have established a business relationship with you,
- have you prior written permission,
- do not call commercially or do not include unsolicited advertisements.

Consumers can register their residential and mobile phone, by Internet or by telephone at no cost.

In addition to the Do-Not-Call Registry the caller-id may also reduce the number of telemarketing calls to your home.

With the caller-id you should know who is is calling you: marketers have to transfer caller-id information and may not block their numbers.

When you register your telephone number with the FCC unsolicited phone calls to your home before 8 am or after 9 pm are not allowed.
Callers have to provide you with these additional information which will also lowered telemarketing calls to your home:
- The Caller also must provide you the name of the entity on whose behalf the call is being made.
- A telephone number or address at which you may contact that entity.
- Anyone making a phone solicitation call to your home must provide his/her name.

You can register your telephone number at no cost. Your telephone number will remain for five years on the national do-not-call list. You may re-enter your number after five years, and you may remove your telephone number from the list at any time.
