Cell phone numbers go public this month

[moosmom]

Then why, when you call the number, does it explain that by calling the # from the subject phone, you won't be bothered by telemarketers????

Because it is, in fact, a national do not all registry for the FCC.

HOWEVER:

Sales pitches to cells are illegal on most cases

THere's no deadline to put the # in the do not call registry

Cell phones aren't "going public this month".

I got the exact same message when I called. Now if it would include unwanted campaign calls from political candidates!
