TELEPHONE SOLICITATION

There will be a charge of $2.25 to register via telephone or standard mail for each residential or wireless phone number(s) to be included in the Texas No-Call List. Your registered telephone number(s) will remain on the list for three years from the date your residential or wireless telephone number is first published on the list. Texas consumers may want to consider registering with the national Do-Not-Call Registry since it covers national telemarketers and the Texas No-Call affects only telemarketers operating in Texas. The national and the Texas No-Call lists do not prevent all telemar keting calls from being received once a consumer is registered. Both Registries contain exemptions on who can continue to telemarket to consumers. Do-Not-Call Solicitor Notification As you are likely aware, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have established a National Do-Not-Call Registry. As part of the Do-Not-Call initiative, the FCC requires us to notify customers who use our service for making telephone solicitations (telemarketing calls) regarding the National Do-Not-Call rules and regulations. We recognize that few of our cus tomers use our services for telemarketing; however, because we do not have records indicating which customers may do telemarketing, we are contacting all business customers.

Explanation of Residential Telephone No-Call Lists

The Federal Trade Commission reminds consumers that the National Do-Not-Call Registry has accepted personal cell phone and home phone number registrations since it opened for consumer registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry. To register a telephone number on the National Do-Not-Call Registry, or to file a complaint, consumers should visit www.donotcall.gov or call 1-888-382-1222 (TTY: 1-866-290-4236).Consumers registering a phone number online will be asked to provide a valid e-mail address to which a confirmation of the registration will be sent. A registration is not complete until the consumer clicks on the link in this e-mail. Consumers registering by phone must call from the phone number they wish to register. The National Do-Not-Call Registry is a free ser vice to consumers.
