| National "Do Not
Call" Registry: Most telemarketers cannot call your
telephone number if it is in the National Do Not Call Registry. You can
register your home and mobile phone numbers for free. Your registration will
be effective for 5 years. It can take up to 3 months before your
numbers get posted to the registry. After that, they cannot call your telephone number
if it is in the National Do Not Call Registry. Most telemarketers must
stop calling or you can file a complaint.
You can register your home
and mobile phone numbers for free!
Placing your number on the
National Do Not Call Registry will stop most, but not all, telemarketing
calls. Some businesses are exempt from the national registry and still can
call you even if you place your number on it. Exempt businesses
include:
 | long-distance phone companies
| airlines
| banks and credit unions; and
| the business of insurance, to the extent that it is
regulated by state law.
|
| | |
However, many telemarketing calls are
placed by professional telemarketing companies, and even if the company
whose goods or services are being sold is exempt, the telemarketing company
may be covered.
You may still
receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone
surveyors or companies with which you have an exiting business relationship.
The FCC has initiated a rulemaking proceeding that would
extend the National Do Not Call Registry to many of the businesses that are
exempt from FTC coverage.
