How to Take a Home Phone Number Off of a Telemarketing List
Having telemarketers call your home can be irritating, especially when they call at odd hours, interrupt your favorite show or refuse to stop calling. Sometimes even a caller ID won't bring up enough information to warn you. Get off of a telemarketer's list entirely with the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry takes your home and mobile numbers so telemarketers know you aren't interested.
