FTC: National Do Not Call Registry Accepts Both Cell Phone and Home Phone Numbers
The Federal Trade Commission reminds consumers that the National Do Not Call Registry
has accepted personal cell phone and home phone number registrations since it opened for
consumer registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone
number on the Registry.
To register a telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry, or to file a
complaint, consumers should visit www.donotcall.gov or call 1-888-382-1222 (TTY: 1-866-290-4236). Consumers registering a phone number online will be asked to provide a valid
e-mail address to which a confirmation of the registration will be sent. A registration is not
complete until the consumer clicks on the link in this e-mail. Consumers registering by phone
must call from the phone number they wish to register.
