Default Do Not Call Registry For Cell Phones



In just a few days all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls.

DEPENDING ON YOUR CELL PHONE PLAN, YOU MAY BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS.

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

OR GO TO: http://www.donotcall.gov/

It's the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years.

call your cell company first, this scare came out about a year ago and Sprint, our carrier, said they will not release our numbers. Mostly it will be the low cost budget carriers that will make a buck off you.

Corkie, that email has been circling the internet for a few years now. It's not entirely accurate but fortunately it's not malicious either. Read more http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp

OK, I've never seen it before, so I figured I'd pass it on.

Keep in mind that if you register it doesn't go into effect right away. Telemarketing companies are only required to download updated DNC lists once a month.
