Prevent Spam Calls to Your Cell Phone
Register your telephone with the National US Do Not Call Registry to avoid receiving unwanted telemarketing phone calls.
Have you ever been disrupted by an unwanted call from a marketer when you are reading a book, watching TV or late in the night when you are sleeping?
When yes, you’re not alone.
To stop this your first step is to register your number with the FCC's Do-Not-Call Registry.
When you've registered callers may only call you when they
- do not call commercially or do not include unsolicited advertisements,
- have you prior written permission,
- have established a business relationship with you.
Everyone may register their residential and mobile telephone, by Internet or by telephone for free.
In addition to the Do-Not-Call Registry the caller id will also reduce the number of telemarketing calls to your telephone.
With the caller id you should know when a telemarketer is calling you[ they must transmit caller id information and may not block their numbers.
When you register your telephone number with the FCC unsolicited telephone 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 telephone:
- Anyone making a telephone solicitation call to your telephone must provide his/her name.
- The Caller also have to 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.
You can register your telephone number for free. 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.
