Cell phone numbers going public

Cell  phone numbers going 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.

It  take about 20 seconds.  Marshal and I just did this..as we have stated getting telemarketing calls and they are so annoying.

I'm glad you are on point Marshal'ette!

Cell phones are EVIL that's why I don't have one.

But this is BS.  They annoy you AND it costs you!

After 31 days of being on the list you can file a complaint against someone who calls

But...................
 Marshal and I DO get solicitation calls on our mobiles.. and when we called the stop number it was a legit call... 
so I don't know.. better safe than sorry, I guess.

The best thing I ever did, was taking a hammer to my cell phone. 

The damn thing would always ring at the wrong time.

Or it won't when it should have. Mac.

Never had that prob... It never failed, if I was on top of an extention ladder or squezing thru a crawl space, it would ring.
