All cell phone numers 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:

FTC Do Not Call: 888-382-1222

This is the National Do Not Call list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for 5 years.

You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked!

I called the number and it only takes about 20 seconds.

Several years ago, I registered my land lines but not the cell phones. Sometimes a reminder can be helpful to people...
