    REMINDER....12 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released
    to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls.

    AND YES.....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. It takes about 20 seconds

    HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

    I personally checked out the number at the FTC WWW site below.....

    It's a good idea to get on the DNC however no cell numbers are being released to telemarketers. The number listed is legitimate so no worries on that.

    Urban legend!

    Thanks for the reminder!
    I registered back when this first came out....and that was a long time ago.

    So - although I didn't have to re-register, I did it anyway to make sure I'm still there!! Added both cell phone numbers also.

    I hate telemarketer calls!
