WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY

If you have recently received an e-mail telling you to put your cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry, disregard it. I checked this out to see what was up and this is what it said:

Did you get an email claiming that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls because of a new cell phone number database? Those claims are not true. In fact, federal law prohibits telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phones. You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry, but there is generally no reason to do so. For more information, see the FTC’s press release “The Truth about Cell Phones and the 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. Your registration will be effective for five years.
