Do Not Call protection in Alabama
Alabama formally adopted the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry as its own state list rather than running a separate one, so a single free registration at donotcall.gov covers you. State authorities can still enforce against telemarketers who ignore it, in addition to any federal penalty.
Whatever your state does, the federal National Do Not Call Registry applies, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act gives you a private right of action against certain unlawful calls. Report unwanted calls at the FCC complaint centre and fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Does Alabama have its own Do Not Call list?
Alabama formally adopted the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry as its own state list rather than running a separate one, so a single free registration at donotcall.gov covers you. State authorities can still enforce against telemarketers who ignore it, in addition to any federal penalty.
Where do the calls reported in Alabama come from?
The FCC records the state the person filing the complaint was in, not where the caller was. Because caller ID is easily spoofed, a call reported in Alabama may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a Alabama number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.
