    Put Your Cell On The National Do Not Call List

    In a few weeks, Cell Phone numbers will be givin to Telemarketers who will be required to call you.

    To prevent this, I would highly suggest putting your cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry, which will prevent all calls after you have registered.

    To register, call : 1-888-382-1222
    Or, you can register at their site at: https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

    You might also want to consider registering your home if you havent done so already.

    Thanks.

    I hate telemarketers as well, but you have to remember that they are just people trying to make a living. I just hang up the phone right away and make them lose no time.

    i know i dont do it that often, just sometimes the mood strikes, especially if i have asked them to take me off their list more than once, which does happen, other wise i wont

    yeah and also it is the internet, you have no way of knowing what is true and what is false

    I can guarantee that this website isn't a scam, because it has .gov on the end of the URL. It's impossible to get that ending without approving it with the government.

    i would prefer to disbelieve what i see on the NET without substantial proof.


    i looked at the scambusters page again, and i would agree that it's a bit confusing. i stand corrected. i assumed the section regarding the "Do Not Call" list was referring to the scam, but it looks like it's the opposite. the section regarding the FTC's Do Not Call list is legit, and the sections below it are false.


    either way, this list isn't effective in Canada, so no interest for me.

    i find that hard to believe. i wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't ways around that problem.

    No, that is the government's ending, only they and their programs can use it, such as: www.houes.gov or www.whitehouse.gov.

    I'm glad I don't need that, but I sure would join if I had to.
    Would it be possible, to play forever?
    The conclusion reached was that a player is inevitably doomed to lose.

    Oh great. Now I'll get calls at school.

    This is Do not call is new to cell phones for me, but telemarkerters calling them isn't.

    It isn't often, but people in school do get them on their cells. Anyways, I've done this already after hearing about it.
    However, the damn buggers still manage to call sometimes.

    Just make your numbers private, Then if they are given out you can sue the crap out of them
