Under the Do Not Call Registry, what is prohibited?

The prohibition under the Do Not Call Registry specifically concerns the making of unsolicited calls to numbers that are listed on the registry. This means that if an individual’s phone number is registered, telemarketers and others are not permitted to initiate calls for promotional or sales purposes to that number. The purpose of the registry is to give consumers greater control over the type of marketing communications they receive, protecting their privacy and reducing unwanted intrusions. Following this regulation is essential for compliance with federal law, ensuring that businesses respect consumers' preferences in communication.

While other options may involve different aspects of calling practices, they do not specifically address the primary restriction established by the Do Not Call Registry, which focuses on unsolicited communications to registered numbers.
