11-30-13 no call list

Saturday is the deadline to sign up for Wisconsin’s no-call list.  Anyone who signs up by that deadline will receive protections from unwanted telemarketing calls starting January first.  Administrator of the state Division of Consumer Protection Sandy Chalmers says the list is updated four times a year but those who miss Saturday’s deadline won’t be added to the list until April first.  Registrations are good for two years.  The service is available for residential, voice over internet and cell phones. political calls, calls from nonprofit organizations and calls made in response to a written or verbal request or permission are not covered.  The number to sign up is 1-866-966-2255.
