"Because of limitations in the jurisdiction of the FTC and FCC, calls
from or on behalf of political organizations, charities, and telephone
surveyors would still be permitted, as would calls from companies with
which you have an existing business relationship, or those to whom
you’ve provided express agreement in writing to receive their calls.
However, if you ask a company with which you have an existing business
relationship to place your number on its own do-not-call list, it must
honor your request." [1]

Which seems to suggest to me, if you tell them to not call you again,
they need to stop.

However, I was not aware of the complications of using a business
number instead of a personal number.
