If you’re a Verizon mobile user and tired of constant spam or telemarketing calls, you can protect your number by registering it with the official National Do Not Call Registry — plus use Verizon’s own spam protection tools for extra security.
The FTC’s National Do Not Call Registry works for cell phones and landlines. It’s completely free and never expires.
How to Register:
Visit www.donotcall.gov
Or call 1-888-382-1222 from your Verizon phone
Once you register, telemarketers must stop calling you within 31 days.
Even after registering, you may still receive calls from:
Political campaigns
Charities and nonprofits
Surveys and informational messages
Businesses you’ve recently interacted with
To further reduce spam calls, use Verizon’s free Call Filter service:
Dial *662 to turn it ON
Dial *#662 to check status
Download Verizon Call Filter from the App Store or Google Play
This helps detect and automatically block high-risk spam calls before they reach you.
If telemarketers still contact you after registering:
File a complaint at donotcall.gov
Forward spam texts to 7726 (SPAM) for Verizon to investigate
AvNexo Tip: Combine the National Do Not Call Registry with Verizon’s Call Filter for the strongest protection against spam and robocalls on your cell phone.
