Default National "Do not Call Registry" for your cellphone- act now

For those of you living in the U.S.A. JUST A REMINDER....ON Feb. 5th 2006, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start receiving sale calls. ...YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS...
To prevent this, call 1-888-382-1222 from your cell phone or register online at www.donotcall.gov . 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.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
Note: You can register your regular phones as well..

I have registered all my phones. I hate telemarketers. They suck and should all burn in hell. Has anyone ever got the text message advertisements? Those are a rip too and you can't do anything about them and they cost money. Scum! LOL.

Hey guys...this is a hoax...there is no plan to release cell phone numbers to telemarketers...you do not have to register your cell phones on the do not call registery...

Check out this link

Cell Phone Registry Hoax


There is going to be a move to list cell phones in 411 information. But no move to give info to telemarketers....

the cell phone part is bs, but the national 'do not call' list is legit. i registered my home phone numbers years ago and haven't received a telemarketing call since.

You can stop all those stupid credit card offers by calling 888-5-OPT-OUT. Did that a couple years ago and I haven't been nagged since.

Yep, it's true. I did it a few months ago and I have had my offers drop like crazy. I hate those offers. If I want a credit card, I will go online and get one.
