Avoid telemarketers or surveys by blocking unlisted numbers.
Telemarketers, debt collectors and survey firms use unlisted phone numbers to get you to answer their phone calls. Block these unlisted phone numbers so you no longer have to deal with these annoying phone calls.
Instructions
1. Visit the National Do Not Call Registries website and add your cell phone number to the do not call list. This will prevent telemarketer calls. If a telemarketer calls after you have signed up for this free service, report that number or agency on the Do Not Call website. You will have to provide your phone number and an email address for the free service. You will receive a confirmation email and will need to click on a link provided in that email to complete the registration for the service.
2. Contact your cell service provider and inquire about call restriction features or a service that will block private numbers. Once the service is activated, callers with an unlisted number will be directed to an automated system that explains your number does not accept unlisted calls.
3. Purchase an inbound call blocker. These blockers allow you to screen calls. If friends or family have an unlisted number, you can give them a code they can input after they call you. This code allows them to be an approved caller and successfully contact you.
