<got this email today from my mom thought i'd share>

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public today
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.

Yea, about 5 years ago they started with cell phones. But, still important...

There's a site too.. I registered with it a while back..

Permission to Higher-End Mods to post this in annoucements?

If anyone wants a link to the site here it is...

www.donotcall.gov


Takes a few minutes to register, a bit easier to do that instead of using cell minutes....

Also there was a new improvment to the law earlier this year, it is now perm... not just 5 years. Do Not Call Registrations Permanent and Fees Telemarketers Pay to Access Registry Set

I signed our cell phones up a while back. Sorry, but telemarketing is blood-sucking, no matter who does it. Want to lose my business, try to use telemarketing on me.

I haven't had any telemarketing calls on my cell phone yet.

it seems like the only jobs they are keeping in our own countries are the jobs people get annoyed with or the jobs no one want to do...
