Immunize Your Cell Phone From Telemarketers

by Jon Chase on October 12, 2009 at 01:31 PM


It used to be that cell phones were safe from the clutches of telemarketers, but sadly that is the case no longer. The good news is that you can submit your cell phone number to the national Do Not Call Registry, even if you no longer have a landline phone. Hit donotcall.gov and within 31 days you should be free from marketing call lists for good. If not, report the offending caller on the same site. If you're of the lawsuit-happy, litigious type, start collecting evidence and take 'em to court. At $500 a call, it's not a bad hobby.
