"DO NOT CALL" REGISTRY FOR ALL PHONES , including cell phones.
16 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released to
telemarketing companies and you may start receiving sales calls.
.....YOU COULD BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS IF THEY ARE TO YOUR CELL.
To prevent this, call the following number from your 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 phone number you are wanting to have
blocked.
You cannot call from a different phone number.
Or
You can register any phone number
by going to the government website at:
www.donotcall.gov
Very quick and easy! |

Yes, you may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.
You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers don’t call consumers on their cell phones without their consent.

You have no idea how many times I've seen this or have recieved an email threatening me that my cell phone is going to be bombarded. |

No kidding. Promoters for club events are the worst. I don't get that many, but I know some people who are really pissed about them, considering they have to pay to receive texts like I do. |

I have never received a telemarketer cold call on my cell phone in 5 years. Now calls from companies that I gave my number to, like credit card companies, banks, etc... that's a different story. |
