    Attention US residents: Telemarketers can now call you on your cellphone

    On May 24, 2006 US cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS! These telemarketers will eat up your free minutes and end up costing you money in the long run. To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222.

    This number is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number from Telemarketers for five (5) years.

    You can do the same thing on the web at www.donotcall.gov. You can also file a complaint on this website.
