People whom you have a relationship with, such as a businesses you have/do buy products from, surveyors who do not sell anything, etc..are not considered telemarketers by the FCC, and are permitted to call you. {you also can request that these people remove you from their call lists} If however a surveyor calls you and you somehow find out that they offer services for a fee, you can report them. Telemarketers are the ones who call you up and try to sell you things. {such as those long distance phone companies trying to annoy you into paying them for 10 cents a minute long distance services....}It doesn't matter if they use an autodialer or not...they are not supposed to call you at all after you have registered your phone number. {they do have 31 days however to remove your number from their lists} Those are the ones DonNotCall registration is for.
