Put your phones on the National Do Not Call list.
Got this from my friend, Tom, a while back and forgot to share it. Give it a try — it can’t make things any worse.
Apparently, once protected cell phone numbers have been released to telemarketing companies. Their calls are not only annoying, but depending on your call plan, you can be charged for their intrusion.
To help prevent this, call the National Do Not Call list, from your cell phone, at:
888-382-1222
It’s very easy, and blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked.
Pass this on to others you know too… Tom

This isn’t precisely accurate.

Thanks for this. Once again, I’ve been sucked in. (Oddly enough, the last time I was sucked in, the message came from Tom, too.)
But you certainly CAN use this phone number to put a phone on the Do Not Call list. So whether cell phone numbers have been released or not, I don’t see any reason NOT to call this number and get your cell or land phone line listed.
