Pursuant to its authority under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA), the FCC established together with the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) a national Do-Not-Call Registry. The registry is nationwide in
scope, applies to all telemarketers (with the exception of certain
non-profit organizations), and covers both interstate and intrastate
telemarketing calls. Commercial telemarketers are not allowed to call
you if your number is on the registry, subject to certain exceptions.
As a result, consumers can, if they choose, reduce the number of
unwanted telephone calls to their homes.
Consumers may register their residential telephone number,
including wireless numbers, on the national Do-Not-Call registry by
telephone or by Internet at no cost. To register by telephone,
consumers may call 1-888-382-1222 (for TTY call 1-866-290-4236) or
register online for the national Do-Not-Call registry by going to
https://donotcall.gov. If you receive telemarketing calls after you have registered your
phone number and your number has been in the registry for 31 days, you
can file a complaint with the FTC at
https://donotcall.gov
or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).
