A Do Not Text list works like a “Do Not Call” list — it helps protect you from unwanted marketing texts and spam messages from telemarketers. Here’s what you need to know and how to use it effectively.
In the U.S. and Canada, the National Do Not Call Registry also covers most marketing text messages sent by businesses.
When you register your phone number, companies are legally prohibited from sending you unsolicited promotional texts.
Go to the official U.S. government site:
👉 donotcall.gov
Click “Register Your Phone”
Enter your mobile number and email
Confirm the registration through the verification email
Your number will stay on the list permanently unless you remove it.
The Do Not Text rules don’t block messages from:
Political campaigns
Charities and nonprofits
Companies you’ve given permission to contact you
Informational alerts (like delivery or appointment reminders)
If you still receive spam after registering:
Forward the message to 7726 (SPAM)
Report it on donotcall.gov
AvNexo Tip: Never reply STOP to random spam texts — it confirms your number is active. Use the official reporting tools instead.
