Your answer: National Do-Not Call Registry. The National Do-Not-Call Registry is a government resource where you can register your number to prevent telemarketers calling it. Once registered for 31 days, telemarketers may not call. If they do, you can register a complaint with the website as well. Visit www.donotcall.gov, and follow the prompts.
