Is your telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry?

Done did this already to my cell phones as well as my landline. Also did it for my mom, brother, and all my in-laws.

Yeah, I think I put my number on that list. The other day I got an email saying that May 31st was the last day to put your cellphone number on this list, after that they will be able to call you. So I did, both mine and my husbands, they get so irritating sometimes. I hate when you answer the phone and your standing there saying Hello, Hello, and nobody's saying anything on the other end. I just hang up...

Yes, I knew about that. Did you see my discussion about telemarketers and Phone Tray Free? Telemarketers aren't allowed to call you about 30 or so days after registering on there. Then if you let your creditors (like banks, and credit card companies) know in writing to put you on their do not call list (internal) then they can't call you, either. Otherwise they can be fined. The Do Not Called Listed is headed by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). There is a similar law in UK as well. Actually a few other countries have it as well. There are more details in regards to this subject on Wikipedia.com Have a wonderful day. Pablo

Hello gitfiddleplayer. It is very kind of you to tell people about the do not call list. Yes, our home phone is on the list, since the first week they started the list a few years ago. And, I must say, it works very well. We simply get only rare calls from people asking for money or trying to sell things. I need to place my cell phone on this do not call list also. Hmmm, now I'm thinking maybe I already did that, too. Thanks for the reminder as many people can definitely use this info. PearlGrace

I put our home phone number and our 2 cell phone numbers are the national do not call list about a month ago and so far....so good :)

Our number is listed on the Do Not Call registry. We do not receive that many marketing calls anymore since we enlisted. There was one time that I received a telemarketer call and I told the guy that it is unlawful for him to continue calling us and that I will report him and his company if he continues. He eventually stopped. We still get calls from my university alumni asking for donations and from police organizations and other non-for-profit organizations that also asked for monetary contributions. I think they are exempted from the DNC I guess.

Is there such a law around?? I dunno that.. hehe.. ANd i dun think there's such a law in my country.. The most we can have is a low profile number or we have to pay extra to switch it under private number.. hehe

I'm not in the US, but when I used to have a landline phone and a choice, I didn't list myself in the phone book. My number was available from directory enquiries, so if you knew my name you could go find it, but the telemarketers that work form phone books oculdn't access it. Right now we get loads of marketing calls, but they are all form the phone company! There's a not allot we can do to prevent them having the number ...

i have not entered my number into the registry yet but I do intend to. Will this apply to the service provider providing your cable, internet etc?

SOmethin like this has also been implemented in India I guess it had been put to action in like September 2007 or somethin like that..Much before you guys had it But well..I havent yet opted for this:)
