Cell Phone - Do Not Call List

[cabinetman]

I got this from a friend in email - I'm supposing it's true, FWIW.

================================

REMINDER....9 days from today, 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 TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
It take about 20 seconds.

False, according to Snopes
http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp

and the US Government:

I can spot these a mile away - anything that sounds urgent (only 9 days left!) but has no date...
Then "pass it on to all your friends".

Wow - no snopes police yet? link

I hate telemarketers and wish there was a full Do not call list that also applies to fundraisers etc etc.
