No Call Lists/Junk Mail
There are two No-Call Registries available if you choose to receive fewer telemarketing calls at your home or mobile phone. If you contact the National Do Not Call Registry, your registration will be effective for 5 years and you can register your home or mobile phone for free. Telemarketing calls should lessen once your phone number has been on the registry for 31 days. You can either call 1-888-382-1222 or register on-line.

Consumers can sign up on the Wisconsin No Call List 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year.
