UPDATE: Do Not Call My Cell Phone
Since I posted this yesterday, I have been told it is a hoax. I just went onto Snopes.com (which I usually do to check out this sort of thing--but for some reason did not do yesterday) and there is a LINK that explains that this is one of those hyped-up situations that someone felt compelled to put into an email and it has gone viral. Sorry for the trouble. Lesson learned...always check the facts!
I know that I am very busy fielding calls from clients, friends and family on my cell phone. The last thing I need is to start getting calls from telemarketers on it, too. The instructions below tell you how to block these calls.
Did you know that Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month and that telemarketing companies will now be able to get all those numbers for sales calls, too? Nothing wrong with a little cold calling, right? What if it costs you to receive that call? Because you will be charged unless you have unlimited calling, since it's your cell phone.
To avoid those annoying and possibly expensive calls, call the National DO NOT CALL List from your cell phone. 888-382-1222.
I just did it, and it took under 60 seconds. You have to call from the phone number you want to have blocked. It blocks your number for five (5) years.
