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.

all telemarketing calls to wireless phones are illegal.

From
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts...ellphones.html

"You may be one of many consumers who have received e-mails saying
you’re about to be assaulted by unwanted telemarketing calls to your
wireless phone. Rest assured that placing telemarketing calls to
wireless phones is -- and always has been -- illegal in most cases.

Why the Confusion?

The confusion seems to stem from recent discussions in the wireless
phone industry about establishing a wireless 411 phone directory, much
like your traditional (wired) 411 phone directory. A number of e-mail
campaigns seem to suggest that if your wireless telephone number is
listed in a wireless 411 directory, it will be available to
telemarketers, and you will start to receive sales calls. In addition,
some of these e-mail campaigns suggest that there is a separate
do-not-call “cell phone registry,” which you must call to have your
wireless phone number covered by the do-not-call rules. This
information is wrong.

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.

The do not call list is a problem in itself. Once you enter your phone
number into the do not call database it is safe for five years.

Potentially upon the sixth year your number will be conveniently
located on the same list that will now be used and distributed as a
call list for tele-marketers.

To prevent this, don't answer any calls without a phone number listed!
