Cell Phone Reminder

Found out that cell phone numbers will be going public this month (in USA). That means calls from telemarketers which you will be charged for. To be placed on the national do not call list for 5 years, you have to call 888-382-1222 from each phone that will be affected. I tried this number and it does work in California. If you have trouble with it, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Checking a little further, this number 888-382-1222 is good for land lines as well. Just updated my registry with it. Also a good number to keep as it is a trouble (violation) number to report telemarketers who call you when they are not supposed to.

I did it online. I was able to register three numbers at one time.
This is the link I used.

I'm not sure, but I think telemarketers are from the same gene pool as lawyers.
