Prevent Spam Calls to Your Phone

Have you ever been disrupted by a call from a marketer 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 may only 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 can register their residential telephone number, including mobile numbers, by Internet or by telephone at no cost.

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

With the caller-id you should know when a telemarketer is calling you] because they must transfer caller-id information and may not block their number.

When you register your phone 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 reduced spam calls to your home:
- 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.
- A telephone number or address at which you may contact that entity.

You can register your phone number at no cost. Your phone 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 phone number from the list at any time.
