REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next month.REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketingcompanies 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 aminute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You mustcall from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannotcall from a different phone number. HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS. It takes about 20seconds.

Really works guys, Have A Great Day!

Not true according to snopes:

Here's the truth:

A national directory will be compiled, but numbers will be included on an opt-in basis. If a cell phone subscriber does nothing, the number will not be listed. When the directory is ready, it will be available only as part of the existing 411 directory service, accessed by calling in and asking for a specific number. It will not be published in a book or on the Internet. And it will not be sold to telemarketers.

Cell phone subscribers can list their numbers on the do-not-call registry if they choose, but there is no deadline to get on the list, as the e-mail messages now circulating suggest.

My state's no call list actually makes it a crime for telemarketers to call residences that have thier number listed in the no call registry. If I am called, I take the call cordially, collect the name of the individual I am speaking with, the name of the business, location and phone number if it shows up on my caller ID and report it to the state's Attorney General's office. They are fined an amount depending on how many times they have been reported and fined in the past. It is the telemarketer's responsibility to contact the atty general's office and purchase a list of numbers to not call.

Yeah, I had to change my cell number today because I got 8 telemarketing calls, had my cellphone number registered on the do not call list and ended up getting telemarketers calling me at 3am,1:15am,4:26am,11am and 2:15pm from numbers from the states :censored:, had to pay a $25 fee to change my number, as for the 1st post, it was already posted here before and it was proved that this news was false :Huh?:
