There are still some people who are not familiar with the Do Not Call Registry. Can one blame them? After all it is government and bureaucracy. There have been some recent changes but one can still register and be counted. As a matter of fact, you can now add your cell phones to this list. To register:
Call toll free 1 800 382 1222, TTY 1 866 290 4236 from the number you
wish to register or go online at www.ftc.gov/donotcall or DONOTCALL.GOV
and open the link that will guide you through. Registration is free; it
lasts for five years and is renewable.
There are some people who are exempt from this and can call you. However, if you tell them not to call you again, they have to comply. Among these are political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors and the business of insurance to the extent that it is regulated by state law.
In addition, if you have a business relationship with a company, they can call you for up to 18 months after your last purchase is completed. Those companies that you have contacted, made an inquiry or submitted an application can call you for up to three months. If you make a request to them not to call you, that request supersedes all others.
In addition to stating their purpose and disclosing all material information related to the call, telemarketers must transmit their telephone numbers and, if possible, their name to your Caller ID service.
