Recently Smartlab Software changed telephone numbers and immediately registered with the national do not call registry.
One of the problems with a new telephone number is you have no idea of its history. The day we changed over the uninvited phone calls started. They were from a collection agency looking for a Kathleen. They were ususally automated but sometimes from a call center in India. The phone numbers showed up in caller id but emanate from several sources. After repeatly hanging up on them, not answering, telling them we were a business and not Kathleen, we finally filed a complaint. Though technically the phone calls were not from telemarketers, we thought the complaint process would work.
And it worked. Within one day the phone calls stopped. BTW, only the name of the business and the city and state were given in the personal information section.
