Energize and Organize: Halt Phone Solicitations

• The National Do Not Call Registry, www.donotcall.gov, prohibits telemarketing sales calls at home. 
• You still may receive political calls, charitable calls, debt collection calls, informational calls, and telephone survey calls.
• To register,  visit donotcall.gov or call 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to register (TTY: 1-866-290-4236).  You can register your home or mobile phone for free.
• Your phone number should show up on the Registry the next day. You can verify that your number is on the Registry by visiting donotcall.gov or calling 1-888-382-1222. Most sales calls will stop once your number has been on the Registry for 31 days.
• If you register online, you will receive a confirmation email from donotcall.gov. You must click on the link in the email within 72 hours to complete your registration.​
• Scammers have been making phone calls claiming to represent the National Do Not Call Registry. The calls claim to provide an opportunity to sign up for the Registry. These calls are not coming from the Registry or the Federal Trade Commission, and you should not respond to these calls.
