Do Not Call List

How will a business know if someone’s phone number is listed on the Do Not Call Registry?

You must subscribe to the Do Not Call Registry and check all numbers which you intend to call before doing so.  It’s against the law to call (or cause a telemarketer to call) any number on the registry (unless the seller has an established business relationship with the consumer whose number is being called, or the consumer has given written agreement to be called). But it’s also against the law for a seller to call (or cause a telemarketer to call) any person whose number is within a given area code unless the seller first has subscribed to and accessed the portion of the registry that includes numbers within that area code, and paid the annual fee, if required.
