Title: Cell pone numbers go pulbic
Post by: JTheotonio on January 06, 2009, 01:34:14 PM

Just got this from our IT guys:

Heads up
REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public today
REMINDER... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow 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 want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.
HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. I t takes about 20 seconds.  :knuppel2:

Not now - since I got this from the Chief Communication officer - you would think it was vetted!

It does say you can register your cell phone number - just no dead line or much of a reason.  I opt to be sure and will do it soon.  I don't trust anyone these days..... :P

Hehe!  I always question anything I read, some things more than others.
