Don't Let Telemarketing Calls Disrupt Your Life: How to Remove Yourself from Their Lists
What is Do Not Call?
The National Do Not Call Registry, also known as the 'Do Not Call' list, was established by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2003 to protect consumers from unwanted telemarketing calls. The registry allows individuals to opt-out of receiving unsolicited telemarketing calls from companies and organizations.
By adding your phone number to this registry, you can significantly reduce the number of unwanted calls you receive each day.
How to Add Your Number to the Do Not Call Registry
To add your number to the registry, you can visit the FTC's website and follow these simple steps: First, go to the National Do Not Call Registry website and enter your phone number in the required field. Then, confirm that you are not a robot by following the prompts on the screen.
Once you've completed these steps, your phone number will be added to the registry within 31 days.
What Happens After You've Added Your Number?
After you've added your number, telemarketing companies are required by law to check the registry before making calls. If a company is found to be violating this rule, they can face fines and penalties.
Remember that some exceptions apply, such as charitable organizations and political campaigns, which may still contact you even after adding your number.
