Ok being the ever skeptical and private person that I am with my personal info including cell phone number....
Do all you guys that have these calls on your cell pones give out your numbers when you: write checks, enter contests, sign up for anything, buy things, or do any of you text in a vote on 'whatever' type things?![]()
Those are GUARANTEED way's of getting spam calls using up your cell phone minutes.
When I write checks I give them my old, no longer in service home phone number. (they have my correct addy they don't need my phone number)
When I buy things I only give out my cell phone number if it requires a call back to say schedule a delivery or something, and only with local companies. I stress to them it's not my phone and to only use the number if necessary. (it is my phone but they don't need to know that)
I don't EVER text anything/anyone other than my friends and family. Not for voting on things, or entering contests or for any reason. Texting is the same as handing out your phone number to big corporations.
I have my cell phone number on the do not call list.
I've had a cell phone for about 5 years and have never had a probem with spam sales calls. I might get one odd call once a month and it's usually a wrong number, not a spam/sales call.
