This is an important reminder - all US based cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow – October 1st 2007 and it is likely that you will start to receive sale calls from telemarketers unless you take measures to stop this. You can also expect to be charged for these phone calls.

To prevent this and add your phone number to “Do Not Call” database, you must call the following number from your cell phone:

888-382-1222.

This phone number is the National DO NOT CALL centre. It doesn’t take too long and it will save you lots of time in the future, time you would otherwise spend on the phone dealing with telemarketers. By calling the national Do-Not-Call line, you will block your number from receiving telemarketing phone call for the period of five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot block your number by calling from a different phone.

As an alternative, you can visit the Do-Not-Call website to block your call phone number from being released to telemarketers on following URL:

https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

You can have up to 3 phone numbers blocked that way. It only takes half a minute. Save yourself from obnoxious telemarketing phone calls. Add your number to a national Do-Not-Call list.
