Register for the "Do Not Call" list

The "Do Not Call List" is for residential, wireless or VOIP telephone numbers or prepaid wireless numbers used primarily in Indiana. Registration is provided FREE of charge to Indiana residents.

Registrations on the Indiana Do Not Call list do not expire. It is not necessary to re-register or update your registration unless you have moved or your information has changed.

Being placed on the Telephone Privacy List will eliminate most telemarketing calls, but it will not eliminate all telemarketing calls. Under Indiana law, certain groups may still contact you. They include: insurance agents, realtors, newspapers, and most charities. If you receive a call which does not meet this criteria, you may file a complaint online or by calling 1-888-834-9969.
