For all of the USA Poets

Cell phones now open to telemarketers. Follow this to protect your sanity.
REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public today 11/1/2008
REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale 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 TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 20 seconds.
or go to www.donotcall.gov


This is serious friends, we must all call this number and protect our privacy and sanity.
This was quietly snuck in behind our backs.

Just thought you should know.

    Thanks for the reminder, Buddy...

    I went online again and blocked all our numbers at once. The trouble is, we've done it twice before in the past year, and we're still getting calls at home, although not on the cell phones. We tell the solicitors we're on the "do not call list" and to take our name off their list, but we're still getting calls, at least once a day or more, usually late in the evening when we don't want to be disturbed. It's really annoying... It's gotten to the point that I don't even answer the phone anymore, I just listen to messages (when anyone bothers to leave one on the VM). I know it works, it's just that the whole world has gone nuts with telemarketing. I think it really has become a huge problem!! Does anyone even make any money by calling people on the phone? Thanks again for sharing this information. I hope it helps someone out there regain some Peace...

      Hey,
      I love you but if you call while I'm sleeping, selling or researching, I'm not a happy guy. LOL

      Not sure of researchers. ?
