Getting on the Do Not Call List for Cell Phones

In most cases, telemarketing to consumers' cellular phones is illegal. Telemarketers cannot call you on your cell phone without your prior consent.

If you would still like to get on the National Do Not Call Registry, the do not call list for cell phones is the same list as for land lines. You can join the list online or by calling a toll-free number.

To join online, visit Donotcall.gov. You'll enter your cell phone number with area code and a valid email address. Telemarketers should stop calling your number within 31 days of your registering.

To join via telephone, call 1-888-382-1222 from the number you want to add to the list. Follow the prompts on the recording and your number will be added to the list.
