Register your telephone with the National Do Not Call Registry to avoid receiving unwanted telemarketing calls at home.
Have you ever been disrupted by a call from a telemarketer when you are watching your favorite TV show or late in the night when you are sleeping?
When yes, you’re not alone.
Your first step to stop this harassment is to register your 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,
- do not call commercially or do not include unsolicited advertisements,
- have you prior written permission.
Everyone may register their residential telephone number, including cellular numbers, 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 when a marketer is calling you: they must transfer caller id 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 prohibited.
Callers have to provide you with these additional information which will also lowered telemarketing calls to your home:
- A telephone number or address at which you may contact that entity.
- The Caller also must provide you the name of the entity on whose behalf the call is being made.
- Anyone making a telephone 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 when the five years have passed, and you may remove your telephone number from the list at any time.
