"The National Do Not Call registry gives you a choice as to whether or not you would like telemarketers to contact you via telephone at your home. Registering only takes a few minutes and prevents most telemarkets from contacting you. Your number will remain on the registry permanently because of the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007. Read more about it at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/tcpa.html. Click here to register your personal home phone number or mobile phone and you should see a reduction in telemarketing calls within 31 days."
Although this service is for the United States there are more availbale to others. I will list some of those I have found so far below.
- Do Not Call Register (Australia)
- National Do Not Call List (Canada)
- New Zealand Name Removal Service
- Telephone Preference Service (United Kingdom)
- National Do Not Call / Disturb Directory of India (India)
I personally registered my cell phone and hone phone with the National Do Not Call Registry and within just a couple weeks the phone calls were cut down by at least 50% and have gotten less and less over time.
Here's hoping we all can eliminate those annoying phone calls!

what about sex telemarketers?
ReplyDeleteWell I am not sure what location you are in since you are an Anonymous commenter but here in the USA we do not have sex telemarketers. We have sex phone operators of whom a person would have to call them. They would not be calling people like regular telemarketers and surveyors do. So I would suggest depending on where you are located that you check with your local government about if that is permissible by law. I highly doubt that it would be, so I would file a complaint with the appropriate authorities to stop it. ~TBVG~
