The National Do Not Call Registry blocks calls from telemarketers.
Direct marketers routinely make unsolicited calls. You can escape such phone calls by entering your telephone number in the National Do Not Call Registry, which is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This will stop calls from all telemarketers except charities, political organizations, pollsters and companies you have a relationship with.
Instructions
