Do Not Call deadlines loom

Most people don’t know all the rules that went along with the Do Not Call registry, such as the types of sales calls it prevented and allowed.

But they also didn’t know something else — that it has an expiration date of five years from the date someone signed up.

In Pennsylvania, which created its own Do-Not-Call registry about a year before the national one, that expiration date is Saturday. Those who signed up for Pennsylvania’s registry during its first months must re-register by Saturday or face the possibility that sales calls will resume as early as Nov. 1.

For Ohioans, the first expirations will occur next July.
