Cell Phone Telemarketing Legalized Or Not - Stop it With a Reverse quest

For years, telemarketers bothered us at all times of day with their regularly irrelevant, all the time annoying market messages. "Sign Up Now and get 12 free issues". "Order Today" and receive a 10% discount. Etcetera.

But as cell phones became the norm, we grew obvious in knowing that due to the Telephone consumer safety Act of 1991, every cellular communication we received would be leading to us. Telemarketers were banned from dialing cell phones so we didn't pay for their advertisements.

Or so we thought. As more of us learn on a daily basis, there is no oasis from the constant barrage of marketing messages penetrating every nook and cranny of our lives. Telemarketers call our house or land-line phones, despite do-not-call lists. Our email is spammed hundreds, perhaps thousands of times every day. Sms Text messages, even instant web messages tout the newest prestige fix schemes. And an addition number of our cell phones fall victim to the same torture.

Why Telemarketers Call Cell Phones

So what happened? Why have we started receiving calls on cell phones if its illegal? First, a slight explication is necessary. It is not totally illegal for telemarketers to call cell phones. The Telephone consumer safety Act only prohibits the use of 'automated voice dialers' and 'recorded messages' when calling a cell phone. This means telemarketers are free to call your cell phone in person. Great!

In addition to hand-operated calling, telemarketers can also end up calling cell phones if the number has been ported from a land line unit. Carrier and telemarketing databases are rarely updated with the new information, and hence they simply don't know when a number has been changed to a cell phone. The qoute is increased by the recycling of old phone numbers by telecommunication companies. So as more citizen switch phones, more calls are received.

Finally, we have the totally oblivious telemarketers. They call your phone at any time of day or night. They ignore cellular regulations and do-not-call lists. They thwart privacy safety by using it as a shield from the consequences of their own activities - by remaining anonymous. And they use computer self-acting dialers to report times you answer to yield the most effective, annoying calling patterns. They'll even mock you when you answer to a live someone and ask to be removed.

They're Oblivious to productive communication Principles

They are oblivious because they are stuck in the 1980's and earlier. They fail totally to comprehend the lessons industrialized technology has taught to modern day marketing - if someone doesn't want your message, they will ignore it - they will not buy. Yet there are no absolute rules, and when they call 20 million citizen at once for roughly no cost, they gain if even only .01% of those citizen respond. Hence the cycle continues.

Technology to identify and Stop Telemarketers

If we can identify these telemarketers, even some of them, we can stop them. Before the Internet era, this was nearly impossible without a hidden investigator. Police traps were precious and time consuming. Today, we can simply type our phone number into the Internet and search. Starting with a major crusade engine, we can decide if any free data is available. Sometimes the number bothering you has already earned a prestige - and someone has identified it. In this case, your only task left is to report the linked company.

Adequate free data is not often ready for cell phones and secretly listed numbers, however. And unfortunately, more unscrupulous telemarketers are using this to their benefit so you can't report them. In this case, we turn to the 'dark web'. Here there are specialized directories with hidden databases. They fetch and identify over 98% of all numbers through social records and government systems. After paying a small one time fee, we can see the name, address, background, and more for any phone number. Then we simply report it to the phone company, government, or police - depending on its origin.

The more numbers we can report, the fewer unwanted calls we have. They often come from the same places, so stopping one call stops many.
