National DO NOT CALL Registry

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Went Public in January.

REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies 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: 1-888-382-1222.

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 to complete the registry.

ALSO: Same goes for your home phone. Call the same number above from your home phone and register it to stop receiving telemarketing calls! Woo hoo. It's great.

A caveat, however: this registry doesn't completely block out telemarketers, because if you have an account with a bank or a credit card company, that company is still allowed to call and harangue you with "great offers" from Bangalore. Nevertheless, it is worth it to register, because when those companies you actually have accounts with sell your info to other companies, THOSE companies can't call you. Hahahaha.
