Are you irritated with unsolicited calls? Then try this

The marketing methods of direct marketing services are very affective as they are measurable. But there are some firms which do not follow ethical rules in these methods. This has pushed entire direct marketing industry into controversy. Even professional and ethical companies are suffering due to these unethical firms.

These methods include spam or junk emails, unsolicited calls, heaps of mails and couriers, substandard advertisements, etc. And of all of those unsolicited calls makes one very irritated. This lead people to criticize and protest for a regulation on these calls. As a reply to this, US Federal Trade Commission has implemented National Do Not Call Registry Act in June 27, 2003; in order to aid the compliance with 1991s Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

So if you are suffering from unsolicited calls, just register your mobile number in this registry to avoid telemarketers to disturb your privacy by calling to your mobile at wrong times. You cannot include your fax number in this directory, though. Even many nations globally provide these lists but call them with different names.
