The “Do Not Call” Registry (http://www.dnc.gov.sg/index.html) has registered more than 67,000 unique numbers as of 6pm on its launch day on Monday, said a spokesperson from the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC).

The DNC registry, highly anticipated by many consumers who do not wish to receive telemarketing messages via phone, short messaging service (SMS) or fax, was set up by the PDPC for consumers who would like their telephone numbers to be blocked from such communication. They can register for free online, or via phone or SMS.

The spokesperson also said that 16 local organisations have created accounts with the DNC registry to ensure that the Singapore telephone numbers that they are sending telemarketing messages to are not listed in the Registry.
