End phone spam

On many occasions our telephone rings and unfortunately in most cases it is telephone spam. And it is that telephone companies, services, or insurance to name a few, they can become very heavy with their calls.

Many people end up fed up with so many calls, and the worst thing is that sometimes they occur at very inopportune hours. Telemarketing campaigns can be a torment, since we can receive several calls in a row and with different numbers, so it is not enough to block the number in question.

Fortunately there are several ways to solve it, but one of the most effective, and thanks to which we can alleviate this harassment, is pointing to the Robinson List.

How to join the Robinson list?

From the platform's own website signing up for this list is reported to be “quick and easy”. And it is that we only have to access the web, click on "Join the list" and follow the instructions that will appear.

Once we have filled out the form, and entered our personal data, including full name, address, ID, email, etc. we will receive an email to verify the registration. Next, we must select those channels from which we do not want to receive more advertising.

Thanks to that we can avoid receiving those annoying calls, but we also have the option to determine that we receive advertising even through SMS or email, something that is greatly appreciated.

Once the registration has been made, and already being registered on the Robinson List, «Only companies to which you have expressly given your consent may send you advertising». However, the platform also allows you to revoke that authorization for commercial calls from companies to which you had previously consented.

On the website you can choose this option to revoke calls, since an entity search engine is provided to send them your request. If you wish, you can also contact the specific company directly (either by letter or by mail) requesting that they stop sending you advertising. If you have or have had any kind of business relationship, write to them requesting that they stop doing business and stop sending you advertising.

We must bear in mind that even if we have signed up, it will take a little time to stop receiving unwanted calls, since the advertising campaigns that are running at that time will not be affected. This process can take up to two months to update, but it is usually ready in about thirty days.
