Telephone Privacy - No Telemarketing Calls

The State of Indiana Telephone Privacy Law went into effect on January 1, 2002, and includes the capability for citizens to register themselves and be included on a "don't call/no telephone solicitation" list which telemarketers/telephone solicitors must follow.  To find out more about the law - and to register online - visit the Indiana Attorney General's website at: http://www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/telephone/.

A National (Federal) "Do Not Call" Registry was implemented in July, 2003, and you can find info at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/donotcall/index.html
