However, this can only be done via the official National Do Not Call Registry web site.It is not possible to register a University Housing residential telephone number using the National Do Not Call Registry 800 number. Be aware that once a U-M phone number has been entered into the National Do Not Call Registry it will not be removed. Therefore, it will be possible for a previous resident to have already registered your phone number. You can check the status of your telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry web site. The National Do Not Call Registry gives you an opportunity to limit the telemarketing calls you receive. Since October 1, 2003, the National Do Not Call Registry has required most telemarketers to remove the numbers on the registry from their call lists. This stops most, but not all, telemarketing calls. You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship. H.R.3541 Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007 prohibits the removal of telephone numbers from the registry and ensures that those consumers who have already signed up will not have to enlist. For information concerning a wireless 411 directory and the use of cellular telephone numbers by telemarketers, see the FCC Consumer Advisory, The Truth About Cell Phones and the Do-Not-Call Registry or the Federal Trade Commission's The Truth about Cell Phones and the Do Not Call Registry.
