If you want a little more peace and quiet, you have until Sunday to put your phone number on Wisconsin’s do not call list for telemarketers.

The list is updated four times a year.

And to stay on it, you must renew your registration at least once every two years.

Those who sign up by Sunday will have their names added to the new list on July 1.

The list won’t be updated again until October.

Glen Loyd of the state’s consumer protection agency says folks should not wait until the last minute.

He says up to 100,000 registrations a day are made just before each deadline and that bogs the system down.

Wisconsin has had a no-call list since 2003.

Cell phones were added a few months ago.

You can register online at NoCall.Wisconsin.gov. Leave the “www” out.
