Washingtonians Get A Choice About Telemarketing Calls

National Do Not Call Registry Opens for Business

Tomorrow, the National Do Not Call Registry will open for business, giving 
D.C. consumers a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at 
home. The District of Columbia does not have a specific do not call registry.

Soon, the Web site address and phone number for consumers who want to place 
their home or mobile numbers on the national registry will be announced. 
Registration is free.

Federal enforcement of the National Do Not Call Registry begins October 1, 
2003. All consumers whose numbers are on the registry by August 31, 2003 
will notice a downturn in telemarketing calls starting October 1, 2003. 
Consumers who register after September 1, 2003 will notice a drop in 
telemarketing calls within three months of the date they register.
