No Call List Deadline is February 28
February 28 is the quarterly deadline to add your telephone number to Wisconsin’s No Call List. After your number has been registered, you’ll be on the No Call List starting on April 1.
By adding your phone number to the No Call List, you’ll be free from most telephone solicitations from telemarketers for two years. Unfortunately, adding your number to the list won’t stop all unwanted phone calls. Current law says that political candidates, elected officials and non-profit organizations are still permitted to call you even if you are on the No Call List. Boo! 🙁
Adding Your Number to the No Call List
Both landlines and cell phone numbers can be added to the No Call List. To add your numbers to the list, do one of the following:
- Visit the Wisconsin No Call List website
- Calling (866) 9NO-CALL (866-966-2255)
If you miss the February 28 deadline, sign up before the next deadline on May 31 to be added to the next quarterly release of the No Call List on July 1.
