Don't forget to dial the phone number below
Cell phone numbers are going public today
-----------------------------
"You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is
about
to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone
number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit
telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers.
Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers
don’t
call consumers on their cell phones without their consent."

That's NOT my experience.
While visiting California recently ,I used an AT&T Pay As You Go account
and got numerous 'unsolicited' calls/text messages, which each reduced
my credit by $0.25
A true pain in the bum.
On my next visit I'll check whether 888.382.1222 will block these
annoying ,useless calls/messages.

I too have been called by telemarketers on my cell phone - and the number
has been listed at the federal do-not-call site since the 3rd day I had the
number years 2+ years ago. The FCC and the FTC are completely ineffective.
The only way to stop these jerks is to report the violations to your state's
(and their state's - if they're somewhere else) attorney general's office.
I've had to do that twice so far (for 2 places that each called 10+ times).
