Get on the Do Not Call Registry

Want to put an end to pesky telemarketer calls? The federal government set up a National Do Not Call Registry allowing you to do just that. It only takes moments to add your telephone number to the list, and once you do, telemarketers have up to three months (even though they usually take 31 days) to remove it from their call lists.


To register your number, either call the registry at 888-382-1222 from the number you want removed, or log onto www.donotcall.gov to register up to three phone numbers at once. If you receive calls when you shouldn’t, you may file a complaint at the same number and website.
