Unfortunately, I get most telemarketing calls from charities, and charities are exempt. I never donate over the phone, ever. I always tell them that, and some have been considerate (or sensible) enough to quit calling. Second most common have been calls from some credit card company, and I just last week managed (I hope) to get them to stop calling, as I don't have any desire or need for their services. My hope is that registering will stop the 'free cruise' calls, especially the obnoxious one that makes a foghorn noise as soon as you pick up, and the alternate phone service sellers - they never actually have a better deal.
