Do Not Call my Cell Phone

A co-worker told me earlier today that the phone companies are releasing cell phone numbers to the telemarketing companies next week. If you don’t want to be bugged by a bunch of aluminum siding salesmen, you can call this number (from you cell phone) or go online to DoNotCall.gov and your number will be put on a “Do Not Call List”.

Phone Number: 1-888-382-1222

I called earlier today and was told that my phone number was going to be listed within a few hours. However, it will not take affect for another three months. That said - If you get a call in three months, grab the companies name and phone number and you can easily press charges.

Thank Schaapy

I am officially registered. It’s so easy.

Now, here’s a request for you, can you make a national do not email me or blog my website list. You are internet savy. I think that you could do this and make money. Don’t tell me that you can’t some how make a lot of money off of this somehow, and when you do…I would like $100 because of my genious idea. Thank you

The problem is that a national do not email list would do litterally nothing - that’s exactly what the CANSPAM Act is.

Most SPAM comes internationally.

I might get a little mushy, and I’ll apologize now.

But HOLY CRAP he is so sexy. Yea, I said sexy … and I said sexy because of his smartness and his willingness to help and make it easy for all us (I’m included) who don’t “get it” concerning most of the internet. The knowledge that pores out of this boys head on a daily basis - it’s like a I married the hottest version of the encyclopedia to date.

Goodness, gracious, great balls of FIRE! ;)

Thanks for the info. I did the “Do Not Call” on my land line last year and the calls dropped off significantly. Too bad the bordrline ‘non-profits’ and political campaigns can’t be included. I had like 20 calls from George and John just before the election.
