    Yes they are exempt. The national "do-not-call" list does not protect consumers from every type of unwanted phone call.

    Political organizations, charities and telephone surveyors are free to make unsolicited calls without receiving a penalty, as are any companies or their subsidiaries you may have had a previous business relationship with.

    Yes of course, do you think they would make a law that they had to follow?
