Cell Numbers Go Public Tomorrow

REMINDER....all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow and you will start to receive sale calls.

....YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222.

It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time

It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
It takes about 20 seconds, but you must call from the number you want blocked.  

That's good advice, right there!  

A-holes! those idiots arent gonna get any of my money!...
thankx mud...well pass it on.  

its good for the home # also...  

You CAN add your cell phone number to the Do Not Call Registry

In any case, the Federal Trade Commission does allow cell phone users to add their numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry — the same one already in force for landlines — either via the Web or by calling 1-888-382-1222. It probably isn't necessary, mind you, but millions have done it, and so can you.

Contrary to what most variants of the email rumor claim, there is no 31-day, 16-day, or 8-day deadline for adding cell phone numbers to the Do Not Call list — indeed, there is no deadline whatsoever.  

Comments:  While it is true that the major wireless phone providers (Verizon excepted) announced their intention some years ago to establish a 411 directory of customers' cell phone numbers, it is not true that they plan to "publish" said directory for any and all to read.

Participating companies say the numbers would be made available only via telephone to users who dial directory assistance and pay a fee, and only with customer consent. (As of 2006, the plan to create a universal cell phone directory was indefinitely postponed.)

Cell phone service providers have also promised that the numbers would not be accessible to telemarketers. Per FCC regulations, telemarketers are already prohibited from calling cell phone numbers using automated dialers, which are standard in the industry.  

attention all telemarketers: NO, i dont wanna buy rain gutters, windows, carpet cleaning, or the dad gum sunday paper! i am happy with my long distance and No, i do not wish to contribute to yer stupid cause. i'll thank you in advance to not leave me a message and have a great day. everybody else: why are you calling me when you know i work nights and sleep all day? thats just rude. Except you, Mom. wait fer the beep...      

Thanks for the great tip!

Telemarketer: "I'd like to ask you a few questions about your windows" Me: "I'm sorry, we don't have any windows." Whatever they want to talk about, I just let them know we don't have any.

tell them to hang on a minute, that you have to get a pen or something.....then let them sit there, waiting for you. i did this to one, had them waiting about 15 minutes before they hung up.
