Cell Phone Numbers to go Public?

[Miss Kitty]

I received this from my SIL...I had no idea this was going to happen. Have y'all heard about this?

I was going to post this in the Political/Current Events forum, but many of my friends will not go there.


remember: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next month.

REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to

telemarketing companies and you be subject to receiving sales calls.


........ YOUR MINUTES WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS Even if the



message is saved on your phone, you will be charged for the minutes to listen to



it.

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 want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS..

It takes about 20 seconds.

Not a bad idea to have your cell on the do-not-call list though.

whether it's a hoax or not, we always place our cell phone #'s on the Do not call list. We get several automated calls a week from solicitors. :shock: Mr. JR designs cell phones, so it's a no brainer for us.
