thanks for the update, i dont want to be wasting my minutes :)

Thanks:thumbsup

nice quick on the trigger there.

hmmm ok, well regardless if this is 'legend' or not, this was sent to me by a reliable source and even if there is a miscommunication, nonetheless, it is good to block your cel phone number regardless.

up to you for whatever it's worth.

How is that legal?

I really believe the do not call list is "bs"... I get telemarketers calling me all the freaking time at home and I'm on that list... but hell it's probably worth a shot :)

I would hate to have telemarketers calling my cell phone! It is the last private sacred form of telephone there is left

telemarketers suck ass

actually I work with a magazine company who has a call center,The DNC list is in effect with hefty fines if violated. They work within the guidelines because they can get their businesses pulled. Very much like spam on phones.


Therefore.... if your CEL number is registered on the do not call list, you have a better chance of not getting sales calls on your cel phone. Just added protection.

It works the same as your home phone. So just up to you.

Also, I got a ton of recorded calls for political pushing this past election. How did they get my cel number? I wasn't on the DNC list before, we will see how many sales calls I get for fundraising now...

Put it this way, legend or not... it doesn't hurt to take the step and block yoru number. Unless you are lonely and want telemarketers to call you so you someone to talk to :upsidedow

We still get sales calls on our home phone even though we signed up at donotcall.gov a long time ago. It's funny though, now.. they are recordings and you don't get a name of the business so you know who to complain about. We just don't answer any calls that come in as "unavailable" on our caller ID. The pre-election phone calls bordered on harrassment.

thats disturbing news

Ohhhh child, things are gonna get easier.

You broke my heart because I couldn't dance. You didn't even want me around and now I'm back to let you know I can really shake 'em down.

thanks for letting us know!

Election calls are exempt from the DNC list.
