General General Discussion

Received this in my work email and wanted to pass it along…

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month.
REMINDER… all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales 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 … It takes about 20 seconds.

You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers.

I don’t know the real answer, but snopes says this is false:

You might want to vet email claims before passing them along.
