RE-REGISTER REQUIREMENTS FOR DO-NOT-CALL LIST

Currently you have to register every five years or your name and phone number comes off the do-not-call list. You must register by June 2008 and most people don’t know this.

Congressman Mike Doyle has introduced H.R.4341 to try and make registration permanent. The FTC opposes because they believe that when phone numbers are reassigned by the phone company they should not automatically be on the list.

If this bill is not passed many names will immediately come off the list and telemarketers will have an unexpected window of opportunity.
