Brought to you by the Federal Trade Commision..

Cell phone numbers go public tomorrow!
REMINDER....all cell phone numbers are

being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow and you will start to
receive sale 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 have blocked.  You cannot call from a
different phone number...  HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR
FRIENDS.  It takes about 20 seconds.

In the article it states that this number IS the National Do Not Call list. It makes reference to the fact that you can use it for cell phones as well as land lines. It just takes 31 days for the registration to go into effect.

If you don't want telemarketing call, you should use this service.

Thanks GG. I have been meaning to call & you brought it to the top of the list for me. All done, one more thing to check off my list!
