For the past few years I have been getting e-mails forward to me about how all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketers and that it uses up your minutes. I thought it was a bunch of BS to be honest. But in the past month I have received two calls on my cell phone from TD Bank to do a survey about my recent visit to the bank (I know it's not a telemarketers but...). The call took about 10 minutes and was one of the most annoying things I have ever did. I usually do not care about taking surveys because I'm helping the company out but this one just pissed me off.
So I got an e-mail that gave me a phone number to call that puts my cell number on the National "Do Not Call" List with is managed by the Federal Trade Commission. I thought it was a little sketchy but I got the e-mail from my mom who doesn't forward me something that does not work.
So the number is 1(888) 382-1222
It only takes 30 seconds to do and it blocks your number for 5 years.
I personally do not want to be bothered with telemarketers calling my cell phone so anyway to prevent it I would. 30 seconds of my time now seems a lot better than wasting time trying to get off the phone with a telemarketer down the road.
I have no idea if this whole "Telemarketers calling cell phones" is real but it doesn't hurt to have your number blocked. If you are interested if learning more check out the link https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx
May your cell phone be kept free of telemarketers.
