Cell Phones and the Do Not Call Registry
Posted on Jun 10, 2007 by Tom Fragala
Does the FTC’s Do Not Call list accept mobile phone numbers? Yes.
Is there some expiration date for that? No.
Have you heard a rumor (probably via email) that the FCC going to allow telemarketers to call cell phones all they want? The rumors are false.
According to FTC itself:
You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.
You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers.
