Register your phone with the National Do Not Call Registry to avoid receiving unwanted marketing calls.

Have you ever been disrupted by an unwanted call from a telemarketer when you are watching your favorite TV show or late in the night when you are sleeping?

If so, you’re not alone.

To stop this your first step is to register your phone number with the FCC's Do-Not-Call Registry.

When you've registered callers are only allowed to call you when they
- have established a business relationship with you,
- have you prior written permission,
- do not call commercially or do not include unsolicited advertisements.

Consumers can register their residential and cell telephone, by telephone or by Internet at no cost.

In addition to the Do-Not-Call Registry the caller-id will also reduce the number of telemarketing calls to your phone.

When you register your phone number with the FCC unsolicited phone calls to your home before 8 am or after 9 pm are not allowed.
Callers have to provide you with these additional information which will also decreased telemarketing calls to your phone:
- The Caller also must provide you the name of the entity on whose behalf the call is being made.
- A telephone number or address at which you may contact that entity.
