Sadly, I have not had a lot of luck with this. I registered all our phones when this started a couple of years ago and re-registered them several times since and still get sales calls.

Well, the main exception is that if YOU instigate a "business relationship" with any kind with a company, then they can call you after that contact. So, for example, if you have ATT for your phone company, they can call you to sell you any products, services, or anything from their subsidiaries. Or if you fill out a form for a "sweepstakes" and drop it in a box somewhere, they are then able to call you. Etc. However, you are able to have that company remove you from their call list when they do call. Plus charities, political organizations and poll takers are exempt.

You really shouldn't be getting "cold calls" from random businesses, though... I'd report them if you do get a call that is totally unsolicited.
