I just re-registered mine and it took effect immediately, expiring in 
2019, but maybe even longer according to this article.

Out of curiosity, I went to the FAQ governing this process. It's a 
lot of work to take your number off. You can easily add it, but to 
remove your number, you have to either call them or fill out a form 
and send it in. ??? And to correct a number, you have to remove it 
first, then reregister it. Talk about clunky.

What I really wanted to know is if SMSs are covered because I got one 
of those unsolicited creepy ones about a lottery or something last 
week. It appears not, since the language is about call and faxes specifically.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
