Cell Phones You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.
You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. I copied and pasted the above from the top of the http://www.ftc.gov/donotcall/ site. So we know there wil be a data base which to me means telemarkets will access. If there is nothing to worry about why set up a data base. I'm inclined to believe that we WILL be bombarded with calls after reading this because this only prohibits telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Nothing is said about live calls. My home land line is on the list and still get calls from telemarketers and have reported at least 2 and not a things has been done to stop the calls but I will sign up on the list. --- In [email protected], Loomis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Please focus on the section at the very top of the webpage entitled *CELL > PHONES.* In second paragraph you will find your answer.
