1. Indiana Do Not Call List
The Indiana Attorney General’s Office maintains its own registry in addition to the federal one.
Registering adds extra protection for residents receiving calls from Indiana-based marketers.
How to Register in Indiana:
-
Visit indonotcall.org
-
Click “Sign Up” and enter your phone number and email
-
Confirm your registration via email
Your number stays on the list indefinitely and you can register both landline and mobile numbers for free.
2. National Do Not Call Registry for Cell Phones
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also manages a nationwide registry that includes cell phones.
How to Register:
-
Go to donotcall.gov
-
Or call 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to add
Registration takes effect within 31 days, and it never expires.
3. What Calls Are Still Allowed
Even if you’re registered, you might still receive:
-
Political or charitable calls
-
Survey or informational calls
-
Calls from businesses you’ve interacted with recently
4. Reporting Violations
If unwanted sales calls continue:
-
File a complaint at donotcall.gov
-
Or contact the Indiana Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division
AvNexo Tip: For maximum protection, register your number on both the Indiana and national Do Not Call lists — it’s free, permanent, and blocks most telemarketing activity.
