| All cell phone numbers will soon be released to tele-marketing, call this national do-not-call-number soon. REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month. REMINDER..... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales 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. HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON .. It takes about 20 seconds. https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx | |

| I've had my mobile on the donotcall list for a while. Is this the list resetting? It does that periodically. The annoying thing is that even when you are on the donotcall list, if you have a "business relationship" with a company it can still call with gratuitous ads. | |

| No, no, no. I had enough stupid calls in the middle of the night after I put flyers with my services in suburbs. I don't know why those guys assume, that cleaning lady can offer also another services And now it's gonna start bunch of: "Hi Moom, how are you today? I'd like to ask you couple questions..." during day? Crap! Thanks for info Henpecked, I'm calling that number right now! | |

| Reporting violations to the FCC really works. One of the prior law offices I was at, I was so annoyed with all the fax solicitations I decided to fax spam the crap out of the FCC fax. I'd accumulate a week's worth of solicitations before faxing to the FCC. It would be like 50 pages. Mysteriously our fax machine stopped getting solicitations. I've also seen the FCC complaints and fines with our office's name in it as a complainant.
Info on how to report violations is at the FCC website. | |
