Prevent Cell Phone Spam
Register your telephone with the National Do Not Call Registry to avoid receiving unwanted marketing 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.
To stop this your first step is to register your cellular number with the FCC's Do-Not-Call Registry.
When you've registered callers are only allowed to call you when they
- have you prior written permission,
- do not call commercially or do not include unsolicited advertisements,
- have established a business relationship with you.
Everyone may register their residential telephone number, including cellular numbers, by telephone or by Internet for free.
In addition to the Do-Not-Call Registry the caller id may also reduce the number of telemarketing calls to your telephone.
With the caller id you should know when a telemarketer is calling you] because they must transfer caller id and may not block their number.
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 telephone:
- A telephone number or address at which you may contact that entity.
- The Caller also must give you the name of the entity on whose behalf the call is being made.
- Anyone making a telephone solicitation call to your telephone must provide his/her name.
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 when the five years have passed, and you may remove your telephone number from the list at any time.
