for not having the reading comprehension of a 4th grader.  When you sign up on the DNC it clearly states that it is to keep legitimate businesses from selling you something by phone.  Therefore, charities, political calls, surveys, and debt collectors do not fit into that category.  Now consider the fact that criminals do not abide by any law, and those are the resulting phone calls trying to sell you something.  Perhaps you should redeem yourself by actually getting an education in this matter and learning what the laws are all about.

No secret - please purchase a call blocking phone or a blocking device that can block entire area codes...and please educate yourself as to what the DNC does and just an importantly - what it does NOT do.

excellent point!!!!

The reason you are getting calls even though you are on the "do NOT call" list, is because you being on that list is NOT permanent.  The time ran out on you being on that list.  I forgot hiw long it lasts, but you can get yourself on the list again.  It qill, again, be for a limited amount of time.  Good luck.

Actually - no.  Once you're registered on the DNC registry, your number stays there permanently:

This is from the FTC website - http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0108-national-do-not-call-registry

"Will My Registration Expire?
How long does my phone number stay registered?
Telephone numbers on the registry will only be removed when they are disconnected and reassigned, or when the consumer chooses to remove a number from the registry."
