In a few weeks, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies.

I did check with: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp {To see whether this was a hoax....it isn't!!}

Imagine the following:
You are racing into the office to be on time for a meeting, and just as you hit the door, your cell phone starts ringing. You look down and wonder? what number is that? It?s a long distance number, but not one you recognize. This could be important. You stop to take the call. The next thing you hear is ?Good morning, I wonder if I can take just a few minutes of your time to share some important new information about your credit card interest rate.? As you try to interrupt, the voice rambles on?? You have been chosen and approved for a low rate credit card at only 4.9% with transferred balances as low as 3.9% depending on the specifics of your approval level.? Whoa. Telephone solicitors calling your private cell phone number? You bet.

In a few weeks, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies?and you will start receiving sales calls. What to do?

From your cell phone, dial 888-382-1222, which is the National Do Not Call list. It takes all of about thirty seconds to register your number, and it will protect your cell phone number from solicitors for five years.

You probably already get enough calls on your cell phone, so why not take a minute to do this right now, and protect your cell number from unwanted callers. Heck, sometimes I'm on the web with my cell phone......
