Cell phone numbers go public this month. This means that those nuisance calls you've received on your home phones can now be placed to your cell phone! And your cell service provider is supporting this effort (so they can increase your billings) by providing your number and info to the marketing firms doing this spamming.
Readers are reminded that all cell telephone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies. As a result, you may start to receive uninvited sales calls, for which you will be charged.
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222. This is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time and this will block your number for five years.
You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.
You may also block calls to your land-line phones and get more information at https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx.
