But it will not stop any calls from companies/businesses that you previously have had any dealings with. (I.E. any previous magazine subsriptions, Local charities, etc.) And of course, public services can still contact you for donations. But the majority of calls should cease in time. You will need to re-new this every 5 years. If you feel you have been taken advantage of, you may place a complaint either at (www.ftc.gov) or call 888-382-1222 from the number that was registered. You will need the following information when you contact them. 1)Your phone number. 2)The date you received the call. 3)The name or number of the comany that called you. Mark
