The National Do-Not-Call Registry
Pursuant to the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) and Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Do-Not-Call regulations, you may register your phone number or revoke a phone number registration on the National Do-Not-Call Registry (DNC Registry) maintained by the FTC. Placing your number on the DNC Registry enables you to reduce the number of unwanted telephone solicitation calls made to your home. Absent certain exceptions, such as calls made on behalf of Companies with whom you have an established business relationship, once your number is placed on the DNC Registry you should see a reduction in unsolicited calls from commercial telemarketers.
If you receive commercial telemarketing calls after placing your number on the DNC Registry, you can file a complaint with either the FCC or the FTC. You can register your home or mobile phone number for free. Your registration will be effective for five years. To register, call the FTC's toll free number at 1-888-382-1222 or you may register online at the FTC's website address, https://www.donotcall.gov/register/Reg.aspx.
