Happy Monday everyone! (ughh we know, right).

We just wanted to remind everyone of the website locations to easily get your mobile or home phone numbers listed or updated on the "Do Not call lists".

For Colorado residents, check the below link out. It includes both the state and national sites links.

Then for those of you who are not in Colorado, here is the national listed linked below directly. If you need your state, we recommend doing a google search for your " + No call list".

We have been suffering from an absurd amount of calling on our personal and business lines.

We hope this helps everyone and have a great Monday!

Your friendly staff at CG
