Lose my number, buster! Receiving pesky phone calls?

One stop shopping.  There is only one Do Not Call list for both land/house lines and mobile phones.

This list is maintained by the US Federal government and all companies that use telemarketing for business must abide by these rules. Once your number is on the list, all companies have up to 30 days to remove you from their list.

Use the same link to submit a complaint if you receive a unsolicited call 30 days after you signed up.

What will happen after you register, will it stop all telemarketing calls?

No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most telemarketing calls, but not all. Because of limitations in the jurisdiction of the FTC and FCC, calls from or on behalf of political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors would still be permitted, as would calls from companies with which you have an existing business relationship, or those to whom you’ve provided express agreement in writing to receive their calls. However, if you ask a company with which you have an existing business relationship to place your number on its own do-not-call list, it must honor your request.  You should keep a record of the date you make the request.
