Georgia Do Not Call List It's Free!!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 21, 2007 - Atlanta - The Georgia Public Service Commission reminds consumers that there is no charge to be on the Georgia Do Not Call List. But, the Commission continues to receive checks from consumers wishing to have their telephone number(s) added to the list. While it may be unusual for a governmental agency to say it, "We don't want your money!"

When a consumer registers with the Federal Do Not Call Registry, his/her telephone number(s) is automatically included on the Georgia Do Not Call List. And, since there is no charge to be on the Federal Registry, it is not necessary for consumers to send checks requesting that their numbers be added to the Georgia List. It's free!!! The Commission returns, on average, about 20 or so checks each month to consumers.

To enroll with the Federal Do Not Call Registry, a consumer must call from the telephone number he/she wishes to register, 1-888-382-1222, or to enroll online go to www.donotcall.gov. The Federal Do Not Call Register was established in June 2003. To report violations, contact the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322.
