If you got on board to stop those annoying telemarketing calls years back, your registration may have expired. You have to renew every 5 years.
If you're one of those people that just didn't believe it would work, let me assure you it does! We haven't had a telemarketing call since a couple months after we registered.
It doesn't stop political and non-profits, but we get few calls from them.
If you get calls 30 days after registering, you can report the caller's phone number (which they are required to show if they're a telemarketer) or the name of the company.
You can also begin right away by saying, "According to my legal rights, I'd like to have this telephone number removed from your call list."
Register now through the DoNotCall.gov website or toll-free at 1-888-382-1222.
Re: Cell Phones
It's a myth that telemarketers are going to begin calling cell phones. Wireless companies and the FTC will not release subscriber information to telemarketers.
