Category: National Do Not Call Registry
The National Do Not Call Registry is a service established by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to help consumers avoid unsolicited telemarketing calls. By registering their phone numbers on this list, individuals can reduce the number of unwanted sales calls they receive from telemarketers. The registry is free to join and applies to both landlines and cell phones. Telemarketers are required by law to consult the registry and refrain from calling numbers listed on it, though there are exceptions for certain types of calls, such as those from political organizations, charities, and companies with which the consumer has an existing business relationship.
