Do Not Call List

The U.S. government has established a "do not call" registry ( http://www.ftc.gov/donotcall )where you can list phone numbers you want blocked from unsolicited calls such as from telemarketers. That registry is for both wired and mobile phones and there is no deadline by which a phone number needs to be listed in order to be protected from telemarketing calls. There is not a separate cell phone registry. The registry is at: www.donotcall.gov

It is the national Do Not Call list. It will block your number from telemarketers for five years.

The way this works, you enter up to 3 phones and a valid email address. The government servers reply back
to you to verify you submitted your phone to be blocked from telemarketers.

Cell Phones
You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.

You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers.
