MADISON, Wis. (AP) – The Wisconsin state Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill that would make unwanted text messages sent to cellphones from solicitors prohibited activity under Wisconsin’s do not call list.

The measure up for a vote Tuesday would expand the state’s do not call list to include text messages. Currently the list bars audio calls from solicitors if a person has signed up to block them from their land line or cellular phone.

The popular list bars most solicitors, but does not prevent nonprofits from making calls or companies responding to requests for information or to current clients.
