Default The Do Not call list

Just thought this should be passed on. Very easy to register on this list.

It works for the most part. I registered several months ago and noticed a significant reduction in unsolicited calls. I still occasionally get calls, but as soon as I tell them I'm on the no call list and do not appreciate unsolicited calls, conversations end pretty quickly.

on some cell phones you can restrict which calls you wish to recieve (mines set on my phonebook)


mine can be found through its security settings on my Motorola

it just kicks all the phone calls to the voicemail, but will filter out all unwanted & unrecognized phone calls

no..it works..

when i type in a customers phone number in our AutoBase system - it searches the number and gives me the name and address of the person..and will tell me if they are on the do not call registry or not..so i'm sure similar systems have the same thing.
