A “do not call list number” is a telephone number registered with a government or industry organization to prevent unwanted telemarketing calls. For instance, if you add your landline (212) 555-1212 to the National Do Not Call Registry, telemarketers are prohibited from calling that specific number.
Do not call list numbers are crucial for protecting consumer privacy, reducing nuisance calls, and preventing fraud. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991 established the National Do Not Call Registry, a significant milestone in safeguarding consumers from intrusive telemarketing practices.
