Seven out of 10 consumers reported a reduction in the number of
unwanted marketing messages after the launch of the Do Not Call
Registry in January.
This was the finding of a poll of 1,000 consumers carried out in
March by the Personal Data Protection Commission, which administers
the Registry.
So far, more than 600,000 phone numbers have been listed on the
Registry. More than three-quarters of the consumers who had their
numbers listed have blocked all calls, text messages and faxes. The
rest have blocked one or two of these.
Since the beginning of the year, the Commission has received 3,700
valid complaints from the public about receiving messages after
they had registered their numbers.
