National Do Not Call List Opens for Registrations

Posted by michael on from the ring-ring dept.

prockcore writes "The National Do Not Call Registry is up and running. Sign up so most telemarketers cannot call you starting October 1st. There are exemptions though, like for charities and political organizations." Note that many of the states which have opened their own registries will be sharing that data with the national list, so you may not have to re-register - check and see what your state is doing.

    For CT, if you are on the state list, you do not need to do anything (I had to check for myself already). You will be on the national list by default.

    Connecticut will adopt the National Do Not Call Registry in place of its existing state do not call list and share the numbers on its state list with the national registry. Connecticut consumers who already signed up for the state list do not need to re-register to have the protections of both federal and state law.

    Don't bother calling, CT is in the list of states that will be transferring their current list to the national one. (Actually they're adopting the national one and adding what they have to it.)
