Telephone 'Do Not Call' renewals due

Telephone subscribers who registered for the state's Do Not Call list when it was first created five years ago need to renew their registration.

Do Not Call, enacted by the Pa. General Assembly in 2002, provides Pennsylvanians with a means of avoiding unwanted phone calls from telemarketers or other solicitors. However, registration is only valid for five years.

Nearly 1 million telephone subscribers registered for the state's Do Not Call list in the first two weeks, and millions more have registered in the five years since its enactment.

The list is updated quarterly, so if a citizen registered in 2002, he or she must re-register by Sept. 15, or the phone number will expire on Nov. 1
