FTC recorded >2.6 million complaints and added 4.8 million new numbers during FY2025.
Evidence from the Federal Trade Commission confirms that in fiscal year 2025, the agency received more than 2.6 million Do Not Call complaints and that the National Do Not Call Registry grew by more than 4.8 million telephone numbers compared with the previous year. The FTC’s January 6, 2026 press release on its biennial report to Congress states that consumers had placed more than 258 million telephone numbers on the Registry as of the end of FY 2025—an increase of more than 4.8 million from FY 2024—and that the FTC received more than 2.6 million Do Not Call complaints in FY 2025. The FTC’s FY 2025 National Do Not Call Registry Data Book likewise reports over 2.6 million complaints and over 258 million active registrations, while the FY 2024 Data Book reports over 253 million registrations, consistent with an increase of roughly 4.8 million. Therefore, the statement is accurate as written because it correctly reflects the FTC’s reported complaint volume and the growth in DNC Registry registrations for FY 2025.
