WOT: Cell Phone!...

[N8NOE]

! JUST A REMINDER...In a few weeks, ALL wireless 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 MAY WANT TO PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

When in doubt, always look in Snopes! :applause:

My provider isn't listed anyway and the way I read it is that you can opt to be added or dropped from the list at anytime.

I added our numbers in '03 & '04 in anticipation of this crap. Mine's good until 2010 and hers is good until 2011.
