Cell Phone Numbers Go Public on Monday?

May 27, 2009 6:38 pm Report Abuse

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next week--6/1/09?

***There may or may not be a deadline for this info but below.. you will find the # to prevent your cell phone # from being published for directory assistance***

ALL cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls..............

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222.


It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked.

Check out what snopes has to say on this......

The 888 number works because it is the actual number for the do not call registry. You can register your cell phone, but don't have to....Unless you give your cell # out as your HOME PHONE (and don't specify it's a cell) it is against the LAW for telemarketers to call you on it.

If you live in Colorado... DO NOT PUT YOUR SELF ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST!! All Colorado residents are already on the list. If you recieve calls from telemarketers... sue the hell out of em!

Yes, this is for real! If you call the # above... it will explain to you that you are blocking your # from telemarketers and then goes on to tell you that you are able to file complaints IF you still receive calls. The call takes LESS THAN 30 seconds! I ONLY have a cell phone and the last thing I want is to be hassled with telemarketers. You can also block your home #! Just an FYI. The call is free and very quick. Thanks all!

Bump it up. This is legit.... thanks womb
JustJeff May 27, 2009 7:21 pm
If you did NOT provide your cellphone # to a marketing firm, you can file a complaint regarding telemarketing calls WITHOUT being on the DNC registry.... It's already against the law in the US for them to target cellphone #'s and the cellphone companies provide them with a list of the 'blocks of numbers' owned by the cellphone companies.

WHO DO I CONTACT TO START THE SUIT. IF THE CALLING CONTINUES????????????????????????????????
JustJeff May 27, 2009 7:45 pm

Letgo, you contact the FTC (the link below has contact info. And if you listed your cell # as your home # on a form (marketing type....ex: sweepstakes entries, etc) and don't SPECIFY it's a cell #, you lost the right to not be called.

wombli777 May 27, 2009 7:49 pm
If you call the #.... and go thru the process... afterwards, it gives you instructions on how to file a complaint and what information is needed.
