  I'd be curious if OP could chime in about that, since the service they posted claims they don't need you permission if you aren't on the Do Not Call list [0] > Note: They don’t need your permission if you haven’t put your mobile number on the Federal Do Not Call list, but don’t worry, if you haven’t we tell you how to do that too!

India created a similar system (that is somewhat better) when one of the law minister in the government started getting unsolicited calls for loans. :) Phone users can activate Do-Not-Disturb by calling or SMSing their provider. Users can opt for complete blackout of marketing messages or opt into "categories" where they would be open to marketing (like Real Estate, Auto etc). Marketers have to register themselves and the phone numbers / id they use to do the marketing. If a marketer contacts someone on the DnD list, a 3 strikes rule applies - warning, fine, ban. A marketer who uses an unregistered number (a business phone or their own personal number) to make a marketing call will be warned, fined and will face disconnection of service on repeated violations. Users can file a complain by calling or sending a simple SMS to 1909 in the following format: complaint / nature of call, phone number or SMS id, date as dd/mm/yy. The service provider will then take the action.
