Do Not Call - Cell Phone

[SS]Chief · 11-10-2005

JUST A REMINDER: 0n, Nov 10, cell phone numbers are being released to
Telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales call.
NOTE; besides being disturbed by unwanted sales calls, YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS.

These Telemarketers will eat up your free minutes and end up costing you
Money in the long run.
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.

P.S. This is for real....I did this earlier

It's probably better you don't have a cell phone as I'm sure you'll loose it like your bike.

Sorry I forgot the Federal Trade Commission:

Here’s what you need to know about the National Do Not Call Registry program:

FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers are barred from calling consumers on their cell phones without their consent.

The federal government does not maintain a national cell phone registry. Personal cell phone users have always been able to add their numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry — the same Registry consumers use to register their land lines — either online at www.donotcall.gov or by calling toll-free 1-888-382-1222 from the telephone number they wish to register. Registrations become effective within 31 days of signing up and are active for five years. There is no cut-off date or deadline for registrations.

Business-to-business calls are not covered under the Registry
