How much will I get from the Register.com TCPA settlement?

The settlement agreement states that the deal provides more than $3,300 per potentially affected cellular telephone number from a $1.5 million Settlement Fund. The exact amount each claimant receives depends on how many of the 453 class members submit valid Claim Forms by June 15, 2026. With statutory TCPA damages of $500 per violation (and up to $1,500 per willful violation), the $3,300+ per-number figure represents a strong recovery, especially given the average of 3.6 prerecorded calls per affected number that Register.com identified in its own records.

What is the claim deadline for the Register.com TCPA settlement?

The deadline to submit a Claim Form is June 15, 2026. The same date is the deadline to exclude yourself from the settlement (opt-out) or to file a written objection. The Final Fairness Hearing is scheduled for July 7, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana before Hon. James Patrick Hanlon.

Why did Register.com merge with Network Solutions during this case?

On July 25, 2025, Register.com, Inc. merged into Network Solutions, LLC, with Network Solutions as the surviving entity. The merger occurred mid-litigation but does not change class member rights. The settlement explicitly covers calls placed both before and after the merger; any subject calls made on or after July 25, 2025 would have been made by Network Solutions LLC, but all class members can recover from the same $1.5 million Settlement Fund. Both Register.com and Network Solutions are domain registrar and web hosting brands historically associated with Web.com Group and now owned by Newfold Digital.

When will I get my Register.com TCPA settlement payment?

The settlement agreement requires payments to be mailed no later than 30 days after the judgment becomes final. The Final Fairness Hearing is July 7, 2026. Assuming the Court grants final approval that day and no appeals are filed (the appeal window is typically 30 days after entry of judgment), payments to valid claimants would likely be issued in fall 2026. If an objection is filed and appealed, payment can be delayed by 12 to 36 months.

Why was Register.com sued under the TCPA?

Lead plaintiff Tiffany Lewis alleged that Register.com, the domain name registrar, placed prerecorded sales or service calls to her cellphone without her prior express consent. The TCPA, 47 U.S.C. section 227, prohibits placing prerecorded or artificial-voice calls to cellphones without consent, with statutory damages of $500 per call (up to $1,500 for willful violations). The case focuses specifically on calls placed to reassigned numbers, meaning numbers that had been permanently disconnected from a prior subscriber and reassigned to a new subscriber. The Federal Communications Commission's Reassigned Numbers Database (RND) is the official mechanism for callers to verify whether a number has been reassigned before calling. Register.com denies wrongdoing and the settlement is not an admission of liability.

Why is the per-claimant amount so high in this case?

The unusually high per-claimant payout (more than $3,300 per affected number) is the result of an unusually small and well-defined class. Most TCPA settlements involve thousands or tens of thousands of class members; this one involves only 453 unique cellphone numbers. Register.com's own records identified the exact universe of affected numbers and calls (1,652 calls to 453 numbers), which means the class size cannot grow during the claims process. With a $1.5 million Settlement Fund divided among a maximum of 453 potential claimants (and typically far fewer due to TCPA claim rates of 10 to 30 percent), the per-claimant share rises substantially above the typical $20-$80 range seen in larger TCPA cases.

$1.5M Register.com TCPA Settlement

Q: Who qualifies for the Register.com / Network Solutions TCPA settlement?

You qualify if you received a call from Register.com (or Network Solutions LLC after the July 25, 2025 merger) on your cellphone, the call used an artificial or prerecorded voice, it occurred between February 12, 2021 and November 24, 2025, and your cellphone number had been previously permanently disconnected from another user and reassigned to you per the FCC's Reassigned Numbers Database. Register.com identified exactly 1,652 such calls placed to 453 unique cellphone numbers during the class period.

Q: What is the Reassigned Numbers Database (RND)?

The FCC's Reassigned Numbers Database (RND) is a centralized resource that lets callers verify whether a phone number has been disconnected and reassigned to a new user since they last had consent to call it. Launched in late 2021, the RND is the legal mechanism the FCC created to address situations where someone consents to receive calls, then later gives up the number, and the next person assigned that number begins receiving calls intended for the previous user. A caller who fails to query the RND before placing prerecorded calls and then reaches a reassigned number loses the safe-harbor defense and may be liable under the TCPA. The Lewis v. Register.com case alleges Register.com placed prerecorded calls to 453 cellphone numbers that had been reassigned according to RND records.

What Is the Register.com / Network Solutions TCPA Settlement About?

Did Register.com or Network Solutions place a prerecorded sales call to your cellphone between February 2021 and November 2025 on a number that you got after someone else gave it up? You may qualify for an estimated $3,300 or more per number from a $1.5 million class action settlement, which is one of the highest per-number TCPA payouts in recent settlement history. The Claim Form deadline is June 15, 2026, and the Final Fairness Hearing is July 7, 2026.

The Register.com TCPA class action lawsuit, captioned Tiffany Lewis v. Register.com, Inc., Case No. 1:25-cv-00275-JPH-MJD, is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana before Hon. James Patrick Hanlon. Lead plaintiff Tiffany Lewis alleged that Register.com, the longtime domain registrar and web hosting brand, violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by placing prerecorded or artificial-voice calls to cellphone numbers that had been permanently disconnected from a previous user and reassigned to a new subscriber per the Federal Communications Commission's Reassigned Numbers Database (RND).

On July 25, 2025, mid-litigation, Register.com, Inc. merged into Network Solutions, LLC, with Network Solutions as the surviving entity. Subject calls made before that date are attributed to Register.com; subject calls made on or after July 25, 2025 are attributed to Network Solutions LLC. All class members can recover from the same $1.5 million Settlement Fund regardless of which entity placed the call. Both brands are part of Newfold Digital's domain registrar and web hosting portfolio.

Register.com (and Network Solutions as successor) denies any wrongdoing and denies that it violated the TCPA. The settlement does not constitute an admission of liability. The Court has preliminarily approved the deal, and the Settlement Administrator is Kroll Settlement Administration LLC. The official Settlement Website is at registertcpasettlement.com.

What Is Register.com?

Register.com is one of the oldest domain name registrars on the internet, founded in 1994 and accredited by ICANN as one of the first commercial domain providers after Network Solutions' original monopoly ended. The company sells domain name registrations and renewals (.com, .net, .org, and other extensions), web hosting plans, email hosting, SSL certificates, and website builder tools, primarily to small businesses and individual website owners.

Register.com has changed corporate hands multiple times: Web.com acquired it in 2010, and through subsequent restructuring it ended up as a sibling brand to Network Solutions under Newfold Digital's portfolio. On July 25, 2025, Register.com, Inc. legally merged into Network Solutions, LLC, with Network Solutions becoming the surviving entity. Customers of either brand may still receive communications referencing both names. If you ever registered a domain or paid for hosting with either Register.com or Network Solutions, you have likely received renewal calls or sales pitches from them at some point.

Who Qualifies for the Register.com / Network Solutions TCPA Settlement?

The Settlement Class is defined as all persons and entities throughout the United States who meet ALL of the following criteria:

• Register.com (or Network Solutions LLC after the July 25, 2025 merger) placed a call to your telephone number
• The number called is assigned to a cellular telephone service (not a landline)
• Register.com used an artificial or prerecorded voice on the call
• The call was placed between February 12, 2021 and November 24, 2025
• Your cellphone number had been permanently disconnected from its previous subscriber and made available for reassignment per the FCC's Reassigned Numbers Database (RND)

The class is unusually small and precisely defined. Register.com has identified in its own records exactly 1,652 calls placed to 453 unique cellphone numbers that meet all five criteria above during the class period. If your number is one of those 453, you should have received a direct notice from Kroll Settlement Administration. If you believe you qualify but did not receive a notice, contact the Claims Administrator through the official Settlement Website to verify whether your number appears in the class list.

What Is the FCC's Reassigned Numbers Database (RND)?

The Reassigned Numbers Database is the centerpiece of this case and is worth understanding before evaluating whether you qualify.

When the FCC launched the RND in late 2021, it created a centralized resource to address a long-standing TCPA problem: a person consents to receive calls from a company, later gives up the cellphone number, and the next person assigned that number begins receiving calls intended for the original subscriber. Under TCPA case law, the original consent does not transfer to the new subscriber. A caller who fails to query the RND before placing prerecorded calls and then reaches a reassigned number loses the safe-harbor defense the FCC created and may be liable for TCPA damages (typically $500 per call, up to $1,500 for willful violations).

The Lewis v. Register.com complaint alleges Register.com placed prerecorded calls to 453 cellphone numbers that the RND identified as reassigned. The 453 number count and the 1,652 call count are stated as facts in the settlement agreement itself and are not in dispute between the parties. Register.com has not admitted liability; the settlement reflects a compromise rather than a finding of TCPA violation.

What this means for you: if you got your current cellphone number from a carrier (rather than continuously owning it from many years ago) and received prerecorded calls from Register.com or Network Solutions on that number, your number may be one of the 453 reassigned numbers in the class. People who switched phone numbers in the past several years, or got a number from a prepaid carrier that recycles numbers quickly, are the typical class members.

30-Second Self-Test: Do I Qualify for the Register.com Settlement?

Answer yes to all five questions and you may be one of the 453 class members. Contact the Claims Administrator to confirm and file your claim before June 15, 2026.

• Did you receive a call from Register.com or Network Solutions about domain renewal, web hosting, or related services between February 12, 2021 and November 24, 2025?
• Was the call placed to your cellphone, not your landline?
• Did the call use a prerecorded message or robotic-sounding voice, as opposed to a live human speaking in real time?
• Did you get the called cellphone number from your carrier at some point (rather than continuously owning it since before the original subscriber relinquished it)?
• Had you NOT given Register.com, Network Solutions, or Web.com consent to call your number?

If you answered yes to all five and received a notice with a Claim ID, file your claim today through the official Settlement Website. If you answered yes to all five but did not receive a notice, contact Kroll Settlement Administration to verify whether your number is among the 453 cellphone numbers in the class.

How Much Money Will I Get from the Register.com Settlement?

The settlement agreement explicitly states that the deal provides more than $3,300 per potentially affected cellular telephone number. This figure comes directly from page 3 of the Class Notice that the parties submitted to the Court for preliminary approval.

The math works as follows. The Settlement Fund is $1.5 million. The Court will be asked to deduct from that fund:

• Notice and administration costs (including related taxes and expenses)
• Class counsel attorneys' fees of up to one-third of the Settlement Fund
• Litigation costs and expenses up to $25,000
• Incentive award of up to $10,000 to lead plaintiff Tiffany Lewis

The remaining Net Settlement Fund is then divided in equal pro rata shares among all Settlement Class Members who submit timely valid Claim Forms. With only 453 cellphone numbers in the class and a Net Settlement Fund of roughly $930,000 to $980,000 after court-approved fees, expenses, and the incentive award, the per-claimant share lands above $3,300 in the worst case for claimants (100% claim rate) and rises substantially higher as the claim rate falls.

By TCPA settlement standards this is exceptional. Most TCPA class actions resolve at $20 to $80 per claimant because the class size is measured in tens or hundreds of thousands. This case is different in kind. The class is hard-capped at 453 phone numbers, and the violation theory (calls to RND-identified reassigned numbers) is unusually well documented in the defendant's own records, which gave class counsel leverage during settlement negotiations.

How Do I File a Claim?

There are two ways to submit your claim by the June 15, 2026 deadline:

Online: Submit the Claim Form through the official Settlement Website at the Register.com TCPA settlement site. This is the fastest path if you have a Claim ID and PIN from your notice.

By mail: Send a completed Claim Form to the Claims Administrator (Kroll Settlement Administration LLC). Mailed claims must be postmarked by June 15, 2026.

If you received a notice with a Claim ID and PIN, use those credentials to file online. If you did not receive a notice but believe you qualify, contact Kroll Settlement Administration through the official Settlement Website to verify whether your number is on the class list of 453.

• Check void period: settlement checks are void 120 days after issuance; deposit promptly upon receipt

How to Opt Out or Object to the Register.com Settlement

Class members who do not want to be bound by the settlement have two alternatives, both with the same June 15, 2026 deadline.

Opting out (excluding yourself). Opt-out means receiving no settlement payment but preserving your right to file your own TCPA lawsuit against Register.com or Network Solutions over the prerecorded-call claims. Opt-out requests must be in writing, postmarked by June 15, 2026, and mailed to the Claims Administrator at the address printed on the Settlement Notice. The request must include your full name, address, the cellular telephone number Register.com called demonstrating that you are a class member, and a clear statement that you wish to be excluded from the Lewis v. Register.com settlement. You must sign the request personally.

Objecting. Objection means staying in the Class (and remaining eligible for payment) but asking the Court to reject or modify the settlement. Written objections must be postmarked by June 15, 2026, and mailed to Class Counsel, defense counsel, and the Court. Objections must include your full name, address, the cellphone number to which Register.com placed a prerecorded call during the class period, a statement of the objection, a description of facts and legal authorities supporting the objection, whether you intend to appear at the Fairness Hearing, a list of witnesses and exhibits, and your signature.

Why Was Register.com Sued? The TCPA Background

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, enacted in 1991, was Congress's response to the rise of automated telemarketing. The statute prohibits making any call to a cellphone using an artificial or prerecorded voice without the called party's prior express consent. Statutory damages start at $500 per call and can be trebled to $1,500 if the violation is willful or knowing.

The Lewis complaint alleges that Register.com ran an outbound calling program (likely related to domain expiration warnings, renewal solicitations, or upsell offers for hosting and add-on services) that placed prerecorded voice calls to cellphone numbers that had been disconnected from prior subscribers and reassigned to new subscribers per the FCC's Reassigned Numbers Database. The factual heart of the case is simple: Register.com's own records confirm 1,652 prerecorded calls to 453 numbers identified by the RND as reassigned, and the new subscribers had no relationship with Register.com.

Prior express consent is a complete defense under the TCPA, but consent does not transfer when a phone number is reassigned. Register.com denies liability and the settlement reflects a compromise rather than a finding of TCPA violation. The Court has not ruled on the merits.

What If I Do Nothing?

If you do nothing and the Court approves the settlement, you will not receive a payment because the Register.com settlement requires an affirmative Claim Form submission. However, you will still release any TCPA claims you may have against Register.com and Network Solutions related to the prerecorded-voice calls covered by this case. Unless you formally opt out by June 15, 2026, the settlement's release will bind you whether or not you file a claim.

Do not assume "doing nothing" preserves your rights. To preserve the ability to sue Register.com or Network Solutions individually, you must affirmatively opt out by June 15, 2026. To receive your share of the fund, you must affirmatively submit a Claim Form by June 15, 2026. Both paths require action; only opting out preserves your right to a separate lawsuit. Given that the per-claimant share exceeds $3,300, opting out only makes sense if you have specific evidence of a higher-value individual claim (such as documented evidence of many willful violations exceeding the trebled $1,500 statutory cap per call).

Watch Out for Register.com Settlement Scams

TCPA settlement scams target consumers waiting for payment by impersonating settlement administrators or the defendant company. A few common-sense rules:

• Never pay a fee. Legitimate class action settlements never require an activation fee, processing fee, or release fee to deliver settlement payments. Anyone asking for payment to process your Register.com settlement is running a scam.
• Never share sensitive information like your Social Security Number, full bank account number, or online banking password with anyone claiming to handle your settlement by phone, text, or email. The Claims Administrator does not need this information to mail your check.
• Use the official Settlement Website only: registertcpasettlement.com. Type the URL directly. Be cautious of any email or text linking to a Register.com TCPA settlement page from a different domain.
• Be skeptical of click here to verify your TCPA settlement emails from unfamiliar senders. Distribution requires only that you submit the Claim Form by June 15, 2026; there are no verification steps performed by email links.
• If you receive a check, verify it through your bank before depositing or cashing. Settlement checks are void 120 days after issuance, so deposit promptly. Legitimate settlement checks will be drawn from a settlement-administrator account.

Other Active TCPA Class Action Settlements

TCPA class actions have been increasingly common as plaintiffs' firms target companies for outbound calling programs that use prerecorded voices, automated dialers, spam text messages sent after a "STOP" reply, or fail to honor Do Not Call registry preferences. Class membership in one TCPA settlement does not affect eligibility for any other unrelated TCPA settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Register.com Settlement

Who qualifies for the Register.com / Network Solutions TCPA class action settlement?

Anyone whose cellphone received a prerecorded or artificial-voice call from Register.com (or Network Solutions LLC after the July 25, 2025 merger) between February 12, 2021 and November 24, 2025, where the cellphone number had been previously disconnected and reassigned to them per the FCC's Reassigned Numbers Database. The class is limited to 453 specific cellphone numbers identified in Register.com's records.

How much will I get?

More than $3,300 per Settlement Class Member who submits a timely valid Claim Form (per the settlement agreement). The exact amount depends on the final claim rate. The Net Settlement Fund is divided in equal pro rata shares.

Do I need to file a claim?

Yes. This TCPA case requires an affirmative Claim Form submission by June 15, 2026 to receive a payment.

What if I never got a notice?

Contact Kroll Settlement Administration through the official Settlement Website to verify whether your number is one of the 453 in the class. Because the class is so precisely defined, most class members received direct notice.

Why does this case involve Network Solutions too?

On July 25, 2025, Register.com, Inc. merged into Network Solutions, LLC, with Network Solutions as the surviving entity. Subject calls before the merger date are attributed to Register.com; subject calls on or after that date are attributed to Network Solutions. All class members can recover from the same $1.5 million Settlement Fund.

What is the Reassigned Numbers Database?

The Reassigned Numbers Database (RND) is the FCC's centralized resource that lets callers verify whether a phone number has been disconnected and reassigned to a new user. A caller who fails to query the RND before placing prerecorded calls and then reaches a reassigned number loses the safe-harbor defense the FCC created and may be liable under the TCPA. The Lewis case alleges Register.com placed prerecorded calls to 453 cellphone numbers that the RND identified as reassigned.

What are the deadlines?

Claim, opt-out, and objection deadline: June 15, 2026. Final Fairness Hearing: July 7, 2026.

When will I get paid?

Within 30 days of the settlement becoming final. Best case: fall 2026. Appeals can delay distribution by 12 to 36 months or more. Checks are void 120 days after issuance.
