National Do Not Call Registry re-up

Enjoyed not having those telemarketers call you for the past five years?

Well, then it's time to reregister with the National Do Not Call Registry. Registraions are valid for five years, and since the registry was started in 2003, now is a good time to make sure that your entry doesn't lapse.

Will My Registration Expire?

I heard that my registration was good for only five years, and then I'd have to re-register. Is this true?
Aprantely not true....

off of the ftc's site:

The Federal Trade Commission will not drop any telephone numbers from the National Do Not Call Registry based on a five-year expiration period pending final Congressional or agency action on whether to make registration permanent. Read more about it at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/dnctestimony.shtm

 

IF you follow the link you'll see that they are asking congress to achange the five year experation but there is no guaranty that it will happen. Hence, you have nothing to lose by re-registering.

 

The five years was the length of the restrictions, not on the registration. After the five year period, the whole do not call registry is not valid unless congress extends the law. It has nothing to do with registration.

 

I hope it stays the way it is.
It really works. While I have family that always gets these calls, I get none.
