How can I stop telemarketing calls?
The
most effective and easiest way to prevent telemarketing calls is to
register your home and personal phone number(s) with the National Do
Not Call Registry operated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). You
may put your residential telephone number(s) including cellular numbers
on the opt-out list starting July 2003. According to the FTC,
registration with the Do Not Call list will reduce the number of
telemarketing calls you receive by 80%.
You can sign up for the Do Not Call Registry two ways:
- The FTC's toll-free phone number is 888-382-1222 (TTY: 866-290-4236)
- Online registration is available at the FTC's web site, www.donotcall.gov
