    Everyone read, very important

    in the next few months, telemarketers will be able to call your cell phone. these calls will waste your minutes and your time. to get on the do not call list go here www.donotcall.gov or call 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want registered. it takes about 3 months to get on the list. please tell all your friends about this too.


    I just want this stuff gone, super low prices

    ooh... i heard that but forgot to call the number.

    that would be a good idea.

    i dont even know how this is legal in the first place, because not only is it in a way an invasion of privacy, but you have to pay for the calls... who wants to pay to hear an advertisement

      / could it be GOVERNMENT CONSPIRICY?!
      //they're watching,
      ///tricking us so they can monitor our every move by tracing our cell phones
      ////

            thats great for home phones. but do you want to be paying for it?

                  from www.donotcall.gov

                  You can register your home or mobile phone for free
                  "mobile phone" so whats up with that then? and why do they let you register cell numbers? they must be able to distinguish between cell numbers and home numbers, considering most online phonebooks can.

                          Autodialed telemarketing to cell phones is cost shift advertising, and is quite illegal. You can file a complaint with the FCC here: Form 475.

                            except for certain entities, i believe this does not apply to non-profit organizations.
