Telemarketers..Do Not Call!!

StephenB · 12-14-2004

Here's a link I hope is useful https://www.donotcall.gov/register/Reg.aspx
You can register your phone number on-line to get off some but not all call lists. FWIW

Rather old news... but I got on the list last year and the only calls I get now are from charities and political groups (both exempt from "do not call").
There's a rumor going around that telemarketers will gain access to cell phone numbers and barrage us with calls. Not true. Just another internet/email urban legend gone wild.

I put my name on the list a year ago and the number of calls has been drastically reduced. A good program for sure.

Actually my cousin works for a city office and this was sent to them thru state channels.

MILINET: National directory of cell phone numbers!<o:p></o:p>

==================<o:p></o:p>

The national directory of cell phone numbers is about to be published. Oncethis happens telemarketers will have access to your cell phone number! Thiswill be even more annoying than the calls to your "regular" phone becausein addition to being a disruption, these calls will also use your cellularminutes.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

If you wish to avoid this, register your cell number on the National Do NotCall list as soon as possible. You can do this by going on-line to<o:p></o:p>

http://www.donotcall.gov http://www.donotcall.gov or by calling<o:p></o:p>

888-382-1222 from the phone you wish to register.<o:p></o:p>

It's bad enough they call the house I do not want them calling my cell so I registered.

We recieved that same message at work. I got on that internet site right away and registered my cell phone on the do not call list.
It's bad enough at home getting those things. Now they have access to your cell phones, thats just crazy.

yeah, them telemarketers are almost as bad as car salesman

(sorry Tommy, couldn't resist!)

As I mentioned above, the cell phone list is not entirely true. You have to opt in to be in the directory. If you don't opt in...you cannot get calls.
