In the coming weeks, CELL PHONE numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive tele-sales calls. If you want to kick this to the curb before it starts, call this number from your cell phone 888-382-1222. You must call from the phone you want to block. It is the National Do Not Call list. It blocks your number for 5 years and only takes you about 23 seconds to complete the process.
Be a good friend and pass this on....

A directory of cell phone numbers will soon be published for all consumers to have access to. This will open the doors for solicitors to call you on your cell phones, using up the precious minutes that we pay lots of money for. The Federal Trade Commission has set up a "do not call" list. It is called a cell phone registry. To be included on the "do not call" list, you must call from the number you wish to register.The number is 1-888-382-1222 or you can go to their website at
