Telemarketers - Do Not Call Registry

Cell phone do not call list registration info

The on-line registration process is very simple, and you can register up to 3 numbers at one time. After registering, you will receive an e-mail that must be opened within 72 hours, and you will click on a link that completes the process. If you prefer to call, please note that the call to register must be made from the phone number you are registering.

FYI

Starting Jan 1, 2005, all cell phone numbers will be made public to telemarketing firms. So this means as of Jan 1, your cell phone may start ringing off the hook with telemarketers, but unlike your home phone, most of you pay for your incoming calls. These telemarketers will eat up your free
minutes and end up costing you money in the long run.

According to the National Do Not Call List, you have until Dec. 15th 2004 to get on the national "Do not call list" for cell phones. They said that you need to call 1-888-382-1222 from the cell phone that you wish to have put on the "do not call list" to be put on the list. They also said you can do it online at www.donotcall.gov


Registering only takes a minute, is in effect for 5 years and will possibly save you money (definitely frustration)!

Thanks for the scoop, I did not know that cell phones were now going to be given to telemarketers (but I should have known that eventually it was going to happen). Good grief!
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
