    I dont know how much this is true or not?

    REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month.
    REMINDER.....  all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will 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 have blocked.     You cannot call from a different phone number.

    HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON .. It takes about 20 seconds.

    Ron...errrrrr.....TACO, I got one of these emails a while back and checked it out with the below listed link. Like you Who the hell knows what to believe with these cell phone companies and federal regulations; but the info I found is listed. Seems I get one or two telemarketer calls a month which pisses me off because it is minutes I'm paying for. but WTH do ya do about it? Anyway, check it out and make yer own decision

    We got on that "Do Not Call List" a few years back for the landlines. It didn't do a hell of lot of good, we still got the Marketing calls.

    Way back when this first appeared I listed ALL my phones on it. It stopped all but political phone calls. I know it is hard to believe but our elected officials that wrote the law creating this listing exempted their political ads and marketing from the law.
