As of October 1st 2009. All cell phone numbers in the United States only are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to recieve sales calls. You will be charged for these calls. To prevent this, Call the following number from your cell phone. 1-888-382-1222 This is the national DO NOT CALL LIST. It will only take a minute of your time. It will block your number for Five (5) years. You MUST call from the cell phone number that you want blocked. You CANNOT call from a different cell phone number. This may take up to Thirty (30) days to take effect. If you have any questions. Dont ask me because this Is all I know. Good luck eveyone.
I like to do a favor to other random individuals when a telemarketer calls me. I tell them to "hold on a second, let me grab my credit card". Then I set the phone down, go outside for a smoke, maybe get something to eat. Until I hear that annoying beeping from leaving the phone off the hook for too long. I figure it prevents that telemarketer from making at least 1 or 2 calls. Let's all do our part.
