Cell Phone Telemarketing Starts in Sept 06

Did you know that beginning on Sept 1, 2006, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies?
We were told this information by the company that services our phone system. The administrative secretary sent out an e-mail to everyone informing them of this issue.

Yesterday (not September yet damnit!) I received my first telemarketer call on my cell phone. The same cell number I’ve had since 1998.

To add your phone to the “National Do NOT Call Registry”, using your cell phone, call: 1-888-382-1222 to add your number.

I wouldn’t worry about it myself but the schmuck that called me yesterday, called during PRIME TIME (5:00pm) and used my precious minutes.
