REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this week.

[renovation]

REMINDER…. all cell phone numbers are safe . per Here’s what you need to know about the National Do Not Call Registry program:

* FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers are barred from calling consumers on their cell phones without their consent.

* The federal government does not maintain a national cell phone registry. Personal cell phone users have always been able to add their numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry — the same Registry consumers use to register their land lines — either online at http://www.donotcall.gov or by calling toll-free 1-888-382-1222 from the telephone number they wish to register. Registrations become effective within 31 days of signing up and are active for five years. There is no cut-off date or deadline for registrations.

* Business-to-business calls are not covered under the Registry.

Ummmm.... not true, although I have always had my cell phones registered with the Do Not Call directory since the beginning as a precaution. Can't hurt:

I thought it was coming to the point where this might end, wasn't it scheduled to do so? Did they extend it permanently?

But I read it on the interwebs so it must be true!!
