National Do Not Call List
Has anyone registered their phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry?

Re: National Do Not Call List
You can google the number and see if it's a scam and add your report. Once I had the ppl call back 3 times and continued to get more rude each time. I filed a police report, but nothing came of it. However, it's on file now if they are eventually caught.

I just registered my government phone a few weeks ago because it was a recycled number that got calls like crazy, and the calls have definitely stopped. I also was getting a lot of spam texts that have stopped too.
Once you're on it, you can tell them you're on the list and they are supposed to hang up. I don't really see how that scam could be possible though if you aren't agreeing to any charges.
Yes, we have our phone numbers on it.
Sadly, I get random texts now from companies. There may eventually be, years down the road, a do not text website. lol
At work we were getting add ons to our ATT bill. I googled/spoke to ATT and found out a new scam is to call you, randomly talk about something else, and basically trick you into agreeing to have something (usually "advertising") billed through third party billing on your line. It's insanity. And the phone companies are legally obligated to put the charges on your bill unless you've blocked it.
I also tell whoever is calling to put me on their company do not call list. You can also ask for them to mail you a printed copy of their do not call list policy and if they don't they can be fined. After the first time I tell them to add me to their do not call list, I start threatening to sue. Usually shuts them up.
Back on topic, I have registered on the national list just in case. Just remember that you have to give 30 days (or so) from the time you register for you to be able to report violations.

What cell provider do you use? My gov phone is AT&T and that's the only one I've had problems with the spam texts. You can go to this page (http://mymessages.wireless.att.com/) on the AT&T site to edit your text message settings. Apparently spam can be sent to yourphonenumber@att.com, or something like that, and they come as spam texts, so this site blocks it. Also, sometimes just texting "STOP" as a reply text helps.
Other providers might have similar things, but I've only had the problem with this phone to look into it. My other phones are Verizon and Sprint and I don't get spam texts on either.
