Cell Phones and the Do not call list

[PDL]

FYI: This month cell phone numbers get released to the tele-marketers. If you haven't added your cell phones to the DNC list, you can do it either online or thru the phone. 888-382-1222 called from the cell you wish to block. Or go to https://www.donotcall.gov/ and enter the number(s) there.
The blocks are only good for 5 years, so you might re-do your house phones as well if you go online to do it.

Are all cell companies releasing that information?

This spoof has been circulating for years.....

I use my cell phone as my only contact number because I only use my home phone for fax and telemarketers have been calling my cell for years. Hopefully not anymore.

It's all a spoof. Comes up a couple times a year. Forget it.

I just have a pre-paid cell phone for emergencies, otherwise I have no use for one. Mine sits on the shelf turned off 99% of the time. I don't give out the number, I don't even know what it is. I never bothered to turn on the voice mail. The telemarketers can try calling it all they want.

Don.'t know if it is all spoof or not but every once-in-awhile I will get a call on mine even though it is on the DNC list and has been. G ot two calls last week from someone in the 813 area code. They always hang up before I can answer.

sorry guys, guess I got bit. But I put mine on there years ago anyway. Doesn't hurt a thing.

One thing I know for sure is a bunch of crap comes thru as txts from unwanted and unknown numbers. So I figure WTH, put it on the DNC anyway.
