These carriers have the ability to identify call origination sources and create services to prohibit from unwanted calls. You can refer to the carrier\u2019s website or call customer service personnel to find out the best options or services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        5. How to block calls by registering your number on Do-Not call lists?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The main object of the National Do-Not-Call registry maintained by the United States federal government is to block unwanted calls. This is a free service provided by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) where we can register to this service through phone or online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        To register in the Do-Not call registry, visit donotcall.gov or call toll-free number 1-888-382-1222 from the phone. If you register online, you\u2019ll receive an email containing a link and you\u2019ll need to click on the link within 72 hours, if not your registration will not be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          7. Do you know the fact of Not Responding to spam calls will avoid unwanted calls?<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Nowadays scammers keep track of our actions\/interest\/response during the calls. If you receive spam or robocalls, avoid dialing any numbers in their automated menu and avoid replying to text messages with \u201cSTOP\u201d. This will give them the idea that the number is active and they may try to call you more frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          8. How to report unwanted Calls?<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          In case of India, report the number in NCPR (National customer Preference Register also known as DND registry) by dialing 1909 or by sending SMS to 1909.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
