Do Not Call Register

Do Not Call Register: Do Not Call Registry - for land lines and cell phones:
Sick of annoying telemarketers ringing at all hours - just as the baby gets to sleep / right in the middle of your favourite tv show / while you're cooking dinner?

According to the BBB, the Do Not Call Registry is for both cell phones and land lines. This registry is to protect any phone number no matter what type of phone you have. Here is a statement addressing this on the Federal Trade Commission's website:

"Federal regulations already prohibit most telemarketing targeted to cell phones. The truth about cell phones and the Do Not Call Registry is: The government is not releasing cell phone numbers to telemarketers. There is no deadline for registering a cell phone number on the Do Not Call Registry… There is only one Do Not Call Registry, operated by the Federal Trade Commission, with information available at www.donotcall.gov or (888) 382-1222. There is no separate registry for cell phones."
