REMINDER....16 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls.

.....YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following numberfrom 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.

You must call from the cell phone number you are wanting to have blocked.
You cannot call from a different phone number.
 
WHAT?!?!?!?? Are you serious? Even if I don't take the call, if they leave a message, I'll be charged for it?
 
Bloof,
They are going to charge you for 4 calls a month doesn't matter if you except the calls or not - just their little way making sure everyone pays & pays! :shock:




















Joke!
CC :wink:
 
Oh, snopes to the rescue, the urban legend web site, just like the Marine that told Katie Couric, . . . :dunno: :bolt:
 
There is already a "Do Not Call" registry set up by the FTC. It accepts both home and cell numbers. And it's free.

When I moved to my new place last year, I was bombed (at least 10 calls) with telemarketers EVERY DAY. Registered my new number, and the phone calls dramatically reduced to 1-2 per day for a week, and by the end of the month, it ended all together.
