all cell phone numbers are being Released to telemarketing companie

Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 12:09 PM by Sapere aude

Rec'd this and don't know when the 8 days are up. they probably are by now but anyway, worth following up!

JUST A REMINDER....8 days from today, 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.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS

7. if you want to put your numbers on the do not call list

go to the website. i think its donotcall.gov.
fill out the form. reply to the email.
you can enter 3 numbers so if you are worried about your cel number you can go ahead and enter it.
