A: No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop
most, but not all, telemarketing calls. Some businesses are exempt from the
national registry and still can call you even if you place your number on
it. Exempt businesses include:

long-distance phone companies
airlines
banks and credit unions; and
the business of insurance, to the extent that it is regulated by state
law.
... political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or ...

Nearly every call I get today is by companies on the 'exempt' list, go
figure.
