DO NOT CALL
REGIS TRY

The National Do Not Call Registry (Registry) provides consumers with an easy and
efficient way to register their preference not to receive most telemarketing sales calls.
The Registry has continued to grow since its inception in the summer of 2003. As of
September 30, 2015, there were 222 million active registrations.1 Consumers can register
their phone number(s) on the Registry by either calling a toll-free number (888-382-1222)
from the telephone number(s) they wish to register or using the do-not-call website
(https://www.donotcall.gov). The do-not-call rules require telemarketers and sellers to
remove the numbers on the Registry from their call lists at least every 31
days. Telemarketers can access the Registry through a website
(https://telemarketing.donotcall.gov) dedicated to that purpose.
Consumers notify law enforcement of violations of the do-not-call rules by submitting
complaints to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) via either the toll-free number or the
website. Law enforcement officials can then review these complaints, as well as consumer
registration information and telemarketer access information, through the Consumer
Sentinel Network (CSN), a secure Internet website maintained by the FTC. For more
information about CSN, please visit www.FTC.gov/sentinel. Law enforcement personnel
may join CSN at https://register.consumersentinel.gov.
The National Do Not Call Registry Data Book contains statistical data regarding the
registrations on the Registry, the subscriptions of entities (e.g., telemarketers and sellers)
accessing phone numbers on the Registry, and the complaints consumers submit to the
FTC about companies allegedly violating the do-not-call rules.
The National Do Not Call Registry Data Book for Fiscal Year 2015 is based on unverified
complaints reported by consumers. This report is not based on a consumer survey.
IFor the pmposes of this report, "active registrations" are those registrations conslllllers have placed on the Registty and have not been
subsequently deleted by the conslllller or removed by the FTC because the munber was disconnected and reassigned. If a telemarketer
downloaded the Registry on the reported day, this is the number of registrations that would have appeared. Previously, the reported
munber included every munber a consmner had placed on the Registty regardless of its ctm-ent deletion or re-registration status.
