I did when that first started and didn't have a promblem till the 5 years was up last year. You have to go back in and redo it. It took 30 days for it to start again. I was getting faxes and calls during the 30 days. Just say I'm on the National No call List, Do Not call this number again and hang up. Cut them short. That list does work and it's so nice!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Razzi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2008 8:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Online Directory Compiling Cell Phone Numbers -- Maybe Even Yours]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/31/online-directory-compiling-cell-phone-numbers-maybe-even-your/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/31/online-directory-compiling-cell-phone-numbers-maybe-even-your/</guid><description><![CDATA[Cell phones are exempt from being called.

Believe it or not, there was a time when people walked around without them, I think they were called the 80's? I don't mean to be insulting to sandra but I know a lot of people who believe the same thing. Cell phones are a luxury, not a requirement. Were paying way too much for them because the cell phone companies know that people have panic attacks when they don't have them. With today's technology, it should cost about $14.99 a month for unlimited calling from anywhere, but its as simple as supply and demand, were willing to pay any price for them so companies charge through the roof for it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gus gus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2008 10:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Online Directory Compiling Cell Phone Numbers -- Maybe Even Yours]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/31/online-directory-compiling-cell-phone-numbers-maybe-even-your/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/31/online-directory-compiling-cell-phone-numbers-maybe-even-your/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just an FYI<br><br>        Cell phone numbers going public tomorrow<br><br>        REMINDER....all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies  <br>       tomorrow and you will start to receive sale calls.<br><br>        ....YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE  CALLS<br><br>      To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:<br>                                      888-382-1222<br>      It is the  National DO NOT CALL list.

It's definitely worth it!  You can do it online in a couple easy steps.  You can register both your home phone number as well as your cell phone number.  And in the event you do get a call, request that your phone number be taken off their list and they're supposed to do it.  The website for the Do Not Call list is:  www.donotcall.gov<br><br><br>Good luck]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CMD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2008 10:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Online Directory Compiling Cell Phone Numbers -- Maybe Even Yours]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/31/online-directory-compiling-cell-phone-numbers-maybe-even-your/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/31/online-directory-compiling-cell-phone-numbers-maybe-even-your/</guid><description><![CDATA[According to FCC regulations, telemarketers are NOT allowed to call cell phones BECAUSE of the per minute charges. That means that the next time someone calls you, you can threaten to report them to the FCC. I have done this since the first time I got a cell phone back in the 90's and it never fails.<br><br>I am 100% serious about this. Try it. Don't take the time to put your number on any Do Not Call list. Just tell the telemarketers you will report them. On the other hand, if you get one of those recorded messages, take the phone number and REPORT THEM TO THE FCC!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Teresa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2008 5:17PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
