Subject: Cell Phone DO NOT CALL Registration
Importance: High






A reminder that cell phone numbers go public tomorrow!



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 numbers.



ANYONE WITH A COMPANY CELL PHONE, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DO THIS! We do not want to be paying for additional minutes, etc. due to telemarketers.



This process only takes about 20 seconds by cell phone. Make sure to listen to the entire message after you enter your number in and they tell you it is removed.



You can also do it online. www.donotcall.gov .



Thanks!

okee doke, gotcha. i just registered. thanks!

Mach said:

yeah I think it said it was sponsored by the attorney general or state controller, I forget exactly

The number and website are legit, but the info regarding cell phones is bogus.

It remains illegal to enter a cell number into an automated or predictive dialer.

Yes. Whoever had my phone number was a teen. The day I got my new number I was getting spam texts.
I called at&t and they told me what to do.
Whenever u get one just hit reply,type STOP and send it
and u shouldnt get anymore. You might get a confirmation text.
