What is the Do Not Call Registry

The National Do Not Call Registry is managed by the Federal Trade Commission. Its purpose is to reduce unwanted calls to your personal phone numbers from telemarketers. You may register your home phone and cell phone numbers.

Business-to-business calls and faxes are not covered by this registry.

Submit your number to the National Do Not Call Registry:

Phone:

  1. Dial 888-382-1222 from the number that you want to register
  2. Follow the prompts provided.
  3. You may only register one phone number each time you call the National Do Not Call Registry

Online:

  2. Register your HOME and/or MOBILE phone number.  You may register up to three telephone numbers at one time.
