The Direct Marketing Association operates a Telephone Preference Service. If you would like your name and phone number added to a list of people who do not want to receive telemarketing calls, write to: Telephone Preference Service Direct Marketing Association 11 West 42 Street P.O. Box 3861 New York, N.Y. 10163-3861 This will only work to reduce calls from national companies that participate in the program. Local telemarketers and others who do not participate in the program don't see the list. When you write to the association, send them your name, full address, area code and telephone number. I assume that the list contains only U.S. names and addresses. People who live in other countries may want to ask their national direct marketing association whether it operates a similar program.
