Cell phone numbers
become public this month
and will be released to
telemarketing companies,
so you will likely begin to
receive more solicitation
calls. To prevent this call
the following number FROM YOUR CELL
PHONE: 1-888-382-1222. This number is
the national DO NOT CALL LIST and only
takes a moment of your time. It blocks your
number for five years, but the call must be
made from your cell phone.
