I got this info from a friend of mine........



Starting January 1, 2005, all cell phone numbers will be made public to telemarketing firms. So this means as of Jan 1, your cell phone may start ringing off the hook with telemarketers, but unlike your home phone, most of you pay for your incoming calls. These telemarketers will eat up your free minutes and end up costing you and/or Wonderware money in the long run.




According to the National Do Not Call List, you have until December 15, 2004 to get on the national â??Do not call list?for cell phones.




Please call 1-888-382-1222 from the cell phone that you wish to have put on the â??do not call list?to be put on the list.




You may also do it online on HYPERLINK http://www.donotcall.gov




Registering only takes a minute, is in effect for 5 years and will possibly save you money (definitely frustration)! Make sure you register now.

Is this thing just for the US, or does it extend to the world-wide market?

If I get any unsolicited calls, I will be sueing them the fuck up..believe:mad:
Especially if they think that I am gonna pay for them..FFS...I'll rip their fucking throats out!!!

Sorry, in an aggressive mood today :mad:

*rips own throat out*

If you still get the calls, just answer and quickly tell them to take you off the list. You'd be surprised how well it works.

If all else fails, just use some Jim Florentine tactics to fuck with them. :D

I worked as a tele"researcher" and we did surveys on people. The Do Not Call List does not apply to people doing surveys, lol!
