I rarely answer any call from unknowns so I didn't realize that this was Dial America. Thanks to Babs for a number to remove myself from their list.

As mentioned several times in this thread, the Do Not Call registry applies only to *SALES CALLS*. The controlling laws for those are the TCPA and the Telemarketing Sales Rule. Here is the FTC FAQ page which the DNC site repeatedly invited you all to read before you registered your numbers.

National Do Not Call Registry Q&A
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0108-national-do-not-call-registry

Dial America treads on gray area when it sells periodicals for a charity purpose. It must as a commercial fundraiser add your number to its internal no-call list on demand. Coverage under TSR and TCPA is possible when an otherwise exempt call facilitates a sales purpose. That's a question for legal research.

In a comment from Nov 2012 linked below, find the simple steps I took to rid myself of a competing charity beggar by politely rubbing its face in federal laws. You will note that I never rely on verbal cease-communication demands.

I'm tired of receiving calls from these people & I've asked to be removed but no luck. I have a slew of other charities that I give to but will NEVER give to anyone who calls & calls & calls.

I keep getting these calls and I am also on a do not call list.

I am on the DNC registry as well, but as a charity they don't have to abide.  I have been receiving numerous calls daily from them, but never answered the phone and they never leave messages.  Today I intentionally answered and before the guy could even begin his pitch, I told him emphatically to stop calling my home.  We'll see if it works.

PLEASE, PLEASE AND AGAIN PLEASE STOP CALLING ME I'M SICK OF IT.

They call every day, several times a day, I don't answer it.  I know it's for magazines.  I dealt with them a year ago and the woman I was on the phone with at that time was very pushy and annoying.  And at that time, I did renew a subscription to a magazine I already was getting, but they went and put it in for way more than the price she quoted on the phone.  So either it was a mistake or they rip you off intentionally.  Not sure.  I'm not doing business with them again.

I sent DialAmerica a rather scathing email to complain about the repeated, often daily - and sometimes multiple times a day - phone calls after I previously told them I wasn't interested in purchasing a magazine I wasn't going to read, and being pressured to buy one of their salespeople to buy one anyway.  On Monday, I received a polite email response from them, saying:

"This letter confirms your recent request to have your name removed from our calling list.
"We have included your name on our "do not promote" file. This will insure that you receive no further calls from Dialamerica. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused and for also not handling your initial request."

Ironically - or not - I received yet ANOTHER call from them at 5:07 pm that same day.  So much for "no further calls" from them.  I'm hoping the woman simply forgot to mention that it will take x amount of days for my info to be purged from their system.  If not...

Constantly getting calls from these people, which others have identified as Dial America.  I used to subscribe to a magazine through them, so part of the profit will go to the charity they represent, but I've told them since that I end up not reading the magazine so it's a waste of money and resources.  The guy tried to convince me to buy one anyway, for the charity, which annoyed me because it's ludicrous to waste resources on something I'm not going to read and they don't carry the industry-specific magazines I actually do read.  Apparently, these people don't take "no, thank you" easily because they continue calling me.  Repeatedly.  My call-blocker disconnects them, but not until the phone rings once or twice.  You'd think they'd get the hint when the call never goes through but nooooo.

I just called the 800 number that Babs gave us.  I had the same experience.  Very professiona.  Now I need to capture the other 25 companies that are bombarding me with daily phone call and tell them to CALL OFF THE DOGS!

They sell magizine subs for charity. They told me yesterday that the publishers give them a 80% discount on subscriptions...I asked what percent of collected funds( this time was for MADD) she first avoided the question...so i asked again...she admitted that only 12% went to the charity...so sad thst they make money of the deaths of drucnk victums. I beleive that a percent should goto those collecting..but 88%????? that is being a vulture

Called the 800 number, and the lady was very polite and helpful. Hopefully they will get me of their calling list. I donate for the cause they represent, but the magazine selection is just not fir for me.

The only way these telemarketers(TM) are calling me is from the DNC list. No need to explain. I figured it out a long time ago. The DNC list is being provided to TM firms including DIal America(DA).

DA has the nerve to BRAG about how long they've been in business as a TM co. Now I know why. They are sneaky in getting their lists. Also, they have no benefits and high employee turnover. Thank goodness I NEVER do business over the phone!!!

I told the girl that I hate MADD and don't ever call me again. And I mean it. They were trying to renew my readers digest subscription and I'll be damned if I'll give once cent to them if they give a portion of their proceeds to that organization.

I am getting calls from these guys also.  Funny thing is that the ONLY way my name and address are associated with the number they called is through the Do Not Call registry.

This number has not been used in conjunction with my name for any other reason whatsoever.

What does this mean?  The are getting my personal information from the DNC Registry !!!  

They were calling on behalf of MADD, so they said that they are not held by the rules of the DNC registry.

What I later found out was now that they got the info from the DNC registry, they are using it to call me for all their other clients.

Still gettting 2-3 calls a day from the same number 201-373-8322.  Called CS back 800-931-3765 Dial America and spoke to a Supervisor Kim Brown in the South Carolina office requesting to be removed from solicitation lists asap.  I advised Kim that if this is not done asap, I will log and track every call I get after this call and sue a certain $ amount for every tracked call hereafter.  I informed her that my original request was on 1/12/12 and I am still getting calls daily.  She was very nice, assured me she would get my number removed, advised it would still be 48 - 72 hrs.  Hopefully this time it stops.

call 1-800-931-3765 and ask to be removed from their calling list.  Customer service is very polite, so be nice.  Dial America sells subscriptions to charity organizations therefore the do not call list registry does not apply.  Just call their customer service representatives and ask to be removed.  They are very nice.

Dial America Customer Service - call 1-800-931-3765 and ask to be removed from their calling list.  It is Dial America and they work for a charity MADD, therefore the do not call list registry does not apply.  Customer service is very polite, so be nice. Remember Customer Service are not the ones calling daily, but they will get your number removed from the calling list so don't take it out on them.

call 1-800-931-3765 and ask to be removed from their calling list.  Customer service is very polite, so be nice.

I have been receiving calls daily from Dial America 201-373-8322 I searched on another site and found a toll free number you can call to be removed from their calling list.  I called and the customer service representative was very cordial and apologized for the calls and submitted a request to remove my number from their calling list.  Call 1-800-931-3765 and just wait, select no options, when asked for your account number just simply state you don't have an account and you are calling to be removed from their calling list.

I am on a no call list, so NO CALL

keeps calling - I am on a DO NOT CALL LIST~~~

they are  calling all of the time..day and night

<<I just received a call from this number.  I found out it is from dial america.  When I called back they gave me a phone number to remove my number from their list. The number is 1-800-931-3765.  The representive was very cordial and apologized and did remove me.>>

I tried this, they said they would add us to the do not call list.  I hope it works.
