Does Delaware have its own Do Not Call list?

Where do the calls reported in Delaware 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 Delaware may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a Delaware number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.

What kind of calls are reported most in Delaware?

Prerecorded Voice is the most-reported category in Delaware, accounting for 1,321 of the 2,917 complaints (45%). Live Voice is second with 1,096.
