Title: finally, an email forward that was worth something
Post by: junkyard racer on May 18, 2009, 04:56:54 PM: FYI...

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next 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
Even if the message is saved on your phone, you will be charged for the
minutes to listen to it.

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.

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. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers donâ€™t call consumers on their cell phones without their consent.

he Federal Trade Commission does allow cell phone users to add their numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry (the same one already in force for landlines), either online or by calling 1-888-382-1222. Doing so probably isn't necessary, mind you â€” per FCC regulations, telemarketers are already prohibited from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers

So go for it, might want to check out Zombie and dinosaur insurance too. Never know :yes:

I don't know if you're talking about taking a shit or jacking off, but they are BOTH productive.

Very interesting - I've recently received 2 calls on my cell about that stupid car warranty bullshit. I'd love to get their asses slapped with an FCC fine, so I actually hope they call again...

FCC actually just recently bitch-slapped them.

I've been spammed on my cell. I just save them under the "SPAM" contact that automatically sends to voicemail.
