Cell numbers go public

[johnnymk]

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: 1-888-382-1222 .

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 locked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 20
seconds

you know, a simple google search on the phone number alone would have cleared this up.

I was going to say, SNOPES is your friend Johnnymk. Hell, this one has been flitting around since the do not call list evolved.
