Don't forget to dial the phone number below
Cell phone numbers are going public today - This is a REMINDER
All cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies today
and you may start to receive sales calls. You will be charged for these
calls.
To prevent this, call the following number from 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 want to list.

I am surprised to have read positive responses in this thread--the ones
describing a lack of such calls. Perhaps I just live life wrong, but I
was getting tons of these--on a personal ATT line, even on a business
line--and, both on MetroPCS and Verizon cellphones I have--even a
clearwire wireless internet connection employing Vonage as the
local/long-distance carrier.

Listing my numbers in the national no-call database has finally brought
these to a halt; Well, almost, now and then a "spam-phoner" breaks
through--even my just inquiring who is calling on the other end brings a
prompt hangup from the other end, go figure--for a bit I even went
paranoid and wondered if it was the CIA or FBI were exhibiting such
strange behavior and tapping my phones! GRIN

Anyway, I think the national no-call list works, but takes about a week
to go into effect (if my experience can serve as an example.)

But, late at night--when I can't sleep--I still worry about those calls
which sneak through ... ??? :-|
