In a ...
In a few weeks, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls on your cell phone(s). Telemarketer would not be paying for the minutes they wasteIn order to get on the "Do Not Call" list, call this number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222. This is the national Do Not Call registry, and they block your number for 5 years. Alternatively, you can register online at: https://www.donotcall.gov/register/reg.aspx. Please feel free to let your friends know as well...

Crap. I'm upset about this, but I'm not registering for the do not call list. Less reputable companies use the do not call list as a place to harvest numbers...
I registered my home number here 18 months ago ... other than the occasional charity I get absolutely 0 calls. Less reputable companies do NOT use it because the fines are astronomical.
Right, but we get a lot of non-reputable companies here at work, and my co-workers have noticed the same thing happening...I think that charities are exempt from the no-call list.
ahhhh ... The FTC's Do-Not-Call rules do not apply to business-to-business calls, and businesses cannot place their names on the FTC's Do-Not-Call list (or if they do, it is meaningless).
actually, i have had both my work numbers placed on the do not call list...my number at Travelers and my number here.
Sorry - I meant that I get them here and my co-workers also get them at home (I don't get them at home because I've got a cell. Although apparently some jackass decided that it would be perfectly legal for me to pay for telemarketing. BLAH!!!!)
