How to Prevent Mobile Phone Spam?
Register your telephone with the National Do Not Call Registry to avoid receiving unwanted telemarketing calls at home.
Have you ever been disrupted by a call from a telemarketer when you are watching your favorite TV show or late in the night when you are sleeping?
If so, you’re not alone.
To stop this your first step is to register your cellular number with the FCC's Do-Not-Call Registry.
When you've registered callers are only allowed to call you when they
- have you prior written permission,
- have established a business relationship with you,
- do not call commercially or do not include unsolicited advertisements.
You may register their residential and cellular phone, by Internet or by telephone at no cost.
In addition to the Do-Not-Call Registry the caller id will also reduce the number of marketing calls to your home.
With the caller id you should know who is is calling you: they must transmit caller id and may not block their numbers.
When you register your telephone number with the FCC unsolicited phone calls to your home before 8 am or after 9 pm are not allowed.
Callers have to provide you with these additional information which will also decreased marketing calls to your home:
- Anyone making a phone solicitation call to your home must provide his/her name.
- The Caller also have to provide you the name of the entity on whose behalf the call is being made.
- A telephone number or address at which you may contact that entity.
You can register your telephone number at no cost. Your telephone number will remain for five years on the national do-not-call list. You may re-enter your number when the five years have passed, and you may remove your telephone number from the list at any time.
