How do I find out about banning telemarketer telephone calls from my telephone?

Answer 1

You can get on the do not call list. There is also an 800 number to join. Most companies have a feature called call block, which works great!!! Basically the only phone calls you will get are ones you WANT! HOPE IT HELPS!!!

Junebug already gave the answer.   register with donotcall website. You have to register again  5 years.

Answer 4

You put your number on a blacklist. Google it. It takes 30 days to come into effect.

Answer 5

donotcall.gov....register your phone # and the calls should stop within 2-3 weeks.

Answer 6

Sign up on the National do not call list.  The registration is good for 5 years.  It becomes effective 30 days after sign up.  After that, if you get a telemraketing call, get callers name, id, company, and manager and then file a police report and sue them..Fines are extreme to these compamies

Answer 9

www.donotcall.gov

there..you can register any and all of your phone numbers (land lines/cell phones).  Note, it may take 1-3 months for your name/number(s) to show up on the list..so don't be surprised if these a-holes still call you.  In the meantime, if anyone like this calls you...just say "I'm on the do-not call list!" very loudly into the phone.  You'll be surprised at how quickly you hear a *click* on the other end.  Their fine for calling you is VERY high, so even if you're not (technically) on their printed lists yet..they wont want to risk it!

Good luck!
