The cost of Privacy--One Phone Call

Indiana announced that time is running out to opt-in to the state's do not call registry for unwanted telemarketing efforts. Indiana's Attorney General says that their state law is the toughest in the nation and it is credited with reducing the volume of calls to registrants by as much as ten each week. The state registry has over 60,000 phone numbers listed. To register phone numbers on Indiana's do not call registry residents of that state can call 888-834-9969. Use this link to register for the Federal Trade Commission's Do Not Call National Registry.
