REMINDER January 2, 2007, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies
and you will start to receive sale 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.

You must call from the cell phone number you are wanting to have blocked.
You cannot call from a different phone number.

this went around last year... i havent gotten any calls from solicitors.. and when i do ill sign up on the list. its not like we're gonna get CHARGED extra for the calls, i just dont pick up if i dont recognize the number. and if i do, ill hang up within a minute anyhow.

Is this one of them there interweb hoaxes? I was under that impression that was against federal law, just like faxing solicitations. The reasoning is your advertising can't cause people to incur costs (fax paper, air time, etc.).

All of this works fine- until you miss the fine print on something when you give your number out and end up opting in to phone calls. So be careful with that as well.
