Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 This is a public service announcement *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting Jan 1, 2005, all cell phone numbers will be made public to telemarketing firms. So this means as of Jan 1, your cell phone may start ringing off the hook with telemarketers, but unlike your home phone, most of you pay for your incoming calls. These telemarketers will eat up your free minutes and end up costing you money in the long run. To get on the National Do Not Call List either call 1-888-382-1222 from the cell phone that you wish to have put on the " do not call list " to be put on the list. You can also do it online at www.donotcall.gov <http://www.donotcall.gov/> http://www.donotcall.gov/ Registering only takes a minute, is in effect for 5 years and will possibly save you money (definitely frustration)! Make sure you register now! You can also register your home phone number(s) on the web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
