Fend off the telemarketers: NATIONAL DO NOT CALL option for USA households

Tired of telemarketing phone calls in the middle of the family time, trying to sell you services or product that you don’t even care about? Even if you ask them nicely, or rudely for that matter, most of the telemarketers don’t stop calling again and again.

The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. Starting in 2003, the Federal government created the national registry to make it easier and more efficient for you to stop getting telemarketing calls you don’t want. You can register your phone number online or by calling a toll-free number. The registration is free.
