How do i report a phone number that keeps calling?

Here are several ways to report a phone number that keeps calling you:

1. Report it to the National Do Not Call Registry (DNC)

The DNC is a federal registry that prohibits telemarketers from calling you if you have registered your number. If you receive a call from a number that is listed on the DNC, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

To report a phone number to the DNC:

• Online: Visit https://www.donotcall.gov/
• By phone: Call 1-888-382-1222 (TTY: 1-866-290-4236)

You may need to provide information about the call, such as the date, time, and the phone number that called you.

2. Report it to your phone carrier

Your phone carrier can also help you to block calls from specific numbers. They may also be able to track down the source of the calls and take action to stop them.

To report a phone number to your phone carrier:

• Contact your phone carrier’s customer service department
• Provide them with the phone number that has been calling you

Your carrier may be able to block the number immediately, or they may need to investigate the matter further.

3. File a complaint with the FCC

If you have been receiving harassing or abusive calls, you can file a complaint with the FCC. The FCC has the authority to take action against robocallers and other companies that make illegal calls.

To file a complaint with the FCC:

• Visit the FCC’s website: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
• Provide information about the calls, such as the date, time, and the phone number that called you
• Describe the nature of the calls and any harassment or abuse that you have experienced

The FCC will review your complaint and take appropriate action.

4. Use a call blocking app

There are a number of call blocking apps available that can help you to block calls from specific numbers or from unknown callers. These apps can be very effective in reducing the number of spam calls you receive.

Here are some popular call blocking apps:

• Truecaller
• Hiya
• RoboKiller

To use a call blocking app:

• Download the app from the App Store or Google Play
• Create an account and allow the app to access your call history
• Add the phone numbers that you want to block to the app’s blacklist

The app will then block any calls from the blacklisted numbers.
