Default Do Not Call List for Cell Phones

Great Info Check out these links

Do Not Call Lists For Cell Phones ..FYI

A directory of cell phone numbers will soon be published for all
consumers to have access to. This will open the doors for solicitors to call you on your cell phones, using up precious minutes that we pay lots of money for .

The Federal Trade Commission has set up a "do not call" list. It is
called a cell phone registry.

To be included on the "do not call" list, you must call from the number you wish to register.

The number is 1-888-382-1222 OR you can go to their web site at
https://www.donotcall.gov and add your number to the do not call list.

Seems if you don't want the telemarketer calling, you should enter it anyway with or without the directory.

Although I don't do the cell phone thing, I do do call forwarding on the hard line system. I would say I average 8-10 solicitor calls per week. A bad week has to be 20-30. Now they are even tagging my Sunday mornings.

I do not have a landline, only a cell phone. I am getting calls from solicitors, including, but not limited to, Interstate Research Corp. I am certainly going to add my number to the list.

BTW: shouldn't this thread be in a different place...like the Captain's Corner or Dockside Chat?

Thanks for the link. I signed up this way.

I tried the phone yesterday, you have to call from the number you want to regester, it kept telling me I wasn't calling from the number I was calling from

Personally I feel the telemarketers/ solicitors are invading my space for their gain - that's crimmmminal in my books. I know that I pay hard earn money for my phone service. I know damn well I didn't sign up for a service so I could be harassed to the point of not wanting to pick up the phone.

Well if this harassment isn't bad enough, telephone commercials are on their way. So what you're getting now guys, figure on pretty much doubling that.
