Here's a heads up... the national "do not call' listings begin to expire in June of next year. Your listing is only valid for 5 years. I signed up in the first hours so mine will expire first.

Thanks for letting us know about the Do Not Call list expiring. Not that it worked perfectly anyway - we're always getting call solicitations on our CELL phone -- extremely annoying since we have to PAY to anwer it and tell the telemarketers "no thanks".

Fear not, telemarketing haters, your spot on the Do Not Call list is safe.

The Federal Trade Commission announced Tuesday that it would not allow registrations on the list to expire next year, when the list’s five-year anniversary arrives. The law that created the Do Not Call list originally called for registrations to last only five years. After that, consumers would have to re-register to continue the prohibition on unwanted sales calls........................

..................But on Tuesday, the Federal Trade Commission announced a simpler solution -- it simply won't let registrations lapse while future legislation is being discussed.
