  SEATTLE, WA, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Website www.EveryCall.us hosts the first searchable, FCC Do-Not-Call
complaint database that works in conjunction with user-generated
information to identify unknown callers and protect against unwanted
calls.

    "If you're like me, you don't always answer the phone when you don't
recognize the caller's number," says founder, Ben Sharpe. "And sometimes
you even get multiple calls from the same strange number, which usually
ends up being a telemarketer or other direct marketing company. Even if
your number is on the FCC's Do-Not-Call list or you have asked for
telemarketers to remove your number from their list, the calls still may
persist."

    EveryCall.us launches six years after the FCC's National Do-Not-Call list,
"granted consumers protection from unwanted telemarketing calls" and is a
response to the more than 100,000 telemarketing complaints to the FCC in
just the past two years.

    To use the service, consumers type in a phone number, then view general
information about who owns it, contact information, and any prior
complaints. Users may add their complaint to the website and contact the
company directly to never call again. Consumers can learn about the worst
offending companies and how to take additional steps to keep telemarketers
at bay.

    EveryCall.us works with the efforts of Federal agencies, such as the FCC,
to augment the Do-Not-Call registry and to provide adequate information
for public action. The Do-Not-Call legislation allows for political calls
and solicitations from businesses which claim to have a prior
relationship with consumers, both of which many consumers would rather
live without. EveryCall.us identifies those callers and provides
consumers with a course of action to stop calls from interrupting family
dinners.

    The service is FREE and boasts features such as: Google map tracking to
see if complaints are regional or national, discussion boards,
informational blog with tips on reducing unwanted calls and protecting
personal information. Member login is not required for searching or
reporting phone numbers, but grants access to additional features.
