Category: Do Not Call Registry

The Do Not Call Registry, established by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2003, is a vital tool for U.S. consumers to reduce unsolicited telemarketing calls by allowing them to register their personal and mobile phone numbers for free. By doing so, individuals can regain control over their communication preferences, as registered numbers should experience a significant decrease in unwanted calls. However, it’s important to note that certain calls, such as political, charitable, and survey calls, are exempt from the registry. To report violations, consumers can gather call details and file a complaint through the FTC website, ensuring their privacy is respected.
