Once again, I’ve registered three phone numbers (two land lines and a cellphone number) with the National Do Not Call Registry. We wanted to reduce the number of phone calls by telemarketers.
Your registration will not expire. Telephone numbers placed on the National Do Not Call Registry will remain on it permanently due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became law in February 2008. Read more about it at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/04/dncfyi.shtm.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY
The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. Most telemarketers should not call your number once it has been on the registry for 31 days. If they do, you can file a complaint at this Website. You can register your home or mobile phone for free.

You have submitted your phone number(s) for registration in the National Do Not Call Registry. You will receive 3 emails from Register@donotcall.gov. To complete your registration, you must open each mail and click on the link provided.
Important: If you do not click on the link in each email with 72 hours, your phone number will not be registered.
Troubleshooting: If you don’t get a “Registration Complete” message after clicking on the link, or the link does not work, use your “copy” and “paste” functions to insert the entire link in the email into the “Address” line on your Web browswer. Copy and paste the entire link – it’s long. Do not re-type it.
