Do Not Call List

The federal government set up the National Do Not Call Registry in the early 2000s to prevent telemarketers from calling people who did not want to receive calls. To sign up, enter your phone number at www.donotcall.gov -- it's now a permanent list, so once you enter your number on the do not call list, the number stays there permanently.
