Blocking Cell Phone Telemarketers

[Gilligan]

In the near future cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketing companies and you may start to receive sales calls.

YOU WILL BE USING YOUR MINUTES FOR THESE CALLS.

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone at 1-888-382-1222.

This can also be done on their website at: https://www.donotcall.gov/

It is the National DO NOT CALL list and is part of the FCC. It blocks your number for five (5) years.

So far, so good.

By the way, most of these guys use auto dialers. They don't need your phone number to get to you. A computer just dials all the numbers that exist except for those that are on the do not call list.
