Did you know that it is perfectly o.k. for telemarketers to call your cell phone unless you register it with the Do Not Call Registry even though it is supposed to be illegal? So, even though we are paying for the minutes on our cell phones that these telemarketers take advantage of the FCC won't do anything unless your number is registered with the Do Not Call Registry.
I recently had a telemarketer call my cell phone and then I registered my number and I also called the FCC to report it because it is illegal for telemarketers to call cell phone numbers. According to the FCC nothing can be done unless you have registered your cell number, then you have to wait 31 days. Then if you receive calls after the 31 days, you may then file a complaint with the FCC against the telemarketer.
If you tell the telemarketer not to call again the FCC won't do anything unless it has been 30 days. You have to wait 30 days for the telemarketer to remove your number from their list before the FCC will even consider doing anything.
Don't wait, register your cell phone number now with the Do Not Call Registry.
Call: 1-888-382-1222
Call from the number you wish to register.
