National Do Not Call Registry Goes Live October 1

It's finally upon us! Phone numbers registered with the National Do Not Call Registry on or before August 31 will be included when it goes live on October 1, 2003. For numbers registered September 1 and later, telemarketers may take up to three months to remove your number from their lists.

So now that it's here, what can you expect? The FTC has an excellent FAQ page (http://donotcall.gov/FAQ/FAQConsumers.aspx) that should answer most all of your questions. It covers all aspects of registration, as well as such things as: under what circumstances your number may be removed from the list, who may still call you after you register, and how to file a complaint if you do get called improperly.

If you've already registered, your dinner hour is about to get a little more peaceful. If you haven't registered, what are you waiting for? Head over to the Registry website: (http://donotcall.gov/register/Reg.aspx) right now and get signed up.

Computer not working? Phone in your registration at 1‑888‑382‑1222. You must make the call from the phone number you wish to register.
