] No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call
] Registry will stop most, but not all, telemarketing
] calls. Some businesses are exempt from the national
] registry and still can call you even if you place your
] number on it. Exempt businesses include:
]
] * long-distance phone companies
] * airlines
] * banks and credit unions; and
] * the business of insurance, to the extent that it is
] regulated by state law.
]
] However, many telemarketing calls are placed by
] professional telemarketing companies, and even if the
] company whose goods or services are being sold is exempt,
] the telemarketing company may be covered.
]
] You may still receive calls from political organizations,
] charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which
] you have an existing business relationship.

Hrm. See, I got fairly excited about this thing... Then, after being woken up at 9 AM on Saturday Morning by the F.O.P., I decided to really look at it. Turns out, its basically useless. MOST of the telemarketing calls I receive are:

1. Surveys.
2. Charities.
3. Long Distance Services.
4. Credit Services.

All of these things are exempt. Thank you government, for yet again appearing to do something without doing anything at all.
