From cyber-reader David M.:
REMINDER….. all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls … You Will Be Charged For These Calls
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222.
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list It will only take a minute of your time.. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.
HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON .. It takes about 20 seconds.
Editor’s Note: I just called in myself and it legit.

This is a HOAX. It has been circulating on the web since 2004. You may find verifying documentation on the Better Business Bureau website (http://www.bbb.org/us/article/your-cell-number-is-not-going-public-21014) as well as Urban Legends (http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/business/a/cell_directory.htm) and Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp).
David,
Hmmmm, this is the problem with so much information, what is true and what is not true. We’ll check into it more – thinks for the links.
Thank you,
HW
UPDATE: at the Better Business Bureau website they confirm what you said in your email “comment,” but, the last paragraph at the bottom confirms that you can call “To put your phone number in the DNC Registry, go to http://www.donotcall.gov or call toll-free, 1-888-382-1222. But there’s no need to panic if you don’t get around to it today. ”
Thanks again for the information and links.
