Time is running out in the first sign-up period to put cell phones on Missouri’s No-Call list. The first list goes to telemarketers October 1, and the deadline to register is August 1. Attorney General Chris Koster says more than 175,000 numbers have been registered since June 14, the day Governor Nixon signed the legislation expanding the registry to include cell phones.

The no-call registry is updated quarterly, and people who add their mobile numbers to the list by July 31 will be covered as of October 1. Everyone signing up after July 31 and before November 1 will be covered beginning January 1. You can register your cell phone number on the Attorney General’s website here.
