O/T read if you dont want telemarketers calling your cell phone

[flexmaster]

got this forwarded to my email...

JUST A REMINDER....8 days from today(11/26/06), all cell phone numbers are being released to those pesky 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.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS OR GO TO:

This email has been circulating since 2004 and I don't believe it is true. I don't think there is any harm in adding your cell phone number to the DO NOT CALL list, but I don't think it is necessary. Can anyone provide a link that verifies this 11/26 date?

10. Can I register my cell phone on the National Do Not Call Registry?

Yes, you may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.

You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers don’t call consumers on their cell phones without their consent.

FWIW.
