The specified message includes an identification of the consumer (called party) usually in the form of a phone number. Other aspects of the disclosure include the use of an alternate number bank for specified deregistration call back numbers and the use of a store for maintaining a list of those numbers which have been called back and to which the specified message has been played to request removal from the call lists.
