Cell Phone Numbers Go Public today

[craftemp]

REMINDER... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow and you will start to receive sale calls.

.... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 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 blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

Thank you. I called from both of my cells and it took just a minute on each phone.

Sorry gang...but this is an old hoax which has been circulating for awhile now...

I concur. There is no need to make such calls. These fake cell phone directory warnings have been passed around the Internet (citing that same 888 registration phone number) for more than four years.

There are numerous places that you can find the truth about this false rumor, including the Federal Trade Commission's site and this link from Snopes, a site devoted to exposing false rumors.

[As Dave's next post indicates, this post doesn't make sense unless you look at the quotation (above) which no longer exists as a post since he deleted it...making this post just plain wierd!]

I deleted my evil twin, leaving only my stellar self.

Your post doesn't make much sense to others, but you made it (apprpopriately) just as I deleted my duplicate post!

Thanks for the thread. Even though I don't need to do anything for my cell number, it served as a reminder that I hadn't registered my land line at my new home with the National Do Not Call Registry. Now it's done!
