REMINDER....12 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.
You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked.
You cannot call from a different phone number.

Is this applicable only to the USA ?

I tried that number. It didn't work...:-(

call it just days before there is a 5 day time frame

And I'm not sure if it's just the US or not hmmmmmmmm will have to check and update futher

Thank you so much. This is the first I had heard anything about it. I have already called it.


PMS

if it doesn't work on your phone.... www.donotcall.gov and it seems it is only the US, so you may have to check Govt listing in other countries

Your claims are false and this is just spam. No need to worry everyone this is just a hoax. I keep only a cell phone for that reason only.


* Contrary to the e-mail, cell phone numbers are NOT being released to telemarketers, and you will NOT soon be getting telemarketing calls on your cell phone.
* There is NO deadline by which you must register your cell phone number on the Registry.
* Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers are barred from calling consumers on their cell phones without their consent.
* The national associations representing telemarketers have stated that their clients do not intend to start calling consumers’ cell phones.
* There is only ONE DNC Registry. There is no separate registry for cell phones.
* The DNC Registry accepts registrations from both cell phones and land lines. You must call from the phone number that you want to register. If you register online, you must respond to a confirmation e-mail.
* While the telecommunications industry has been discussing the possibility of creating a wireless 411 directory, according to the FCC, even if a wireless 411 directory is established, most telemarketing calls to cell phones would still be illegal, regardless of whether the number is listed on the federal government’s National Do Not Call Registry.

Thanx for that Cazz. I always say better safe than sorry, and many I know still don't realize there is a "do not call" number. Thanx again
