NO TRUTH TO RUMOR THAT CELL PHONE NUMBERS WILL BE MADE
AVAILABLE TO TELEMARKETERS
Washington, DC --
For several years there has been a rumor circulating, mostly by e-mail,
that a nationwide directory of cell phone numbers will be made available to telemarketers, and
that consumers will start receiving telemarketing calls on their cell phones.
There is no truth to this rumor. Cell phone numbers are not being released to telemarketers,
and you will not soon be getting telemarketing calls on your cell phone. FCC rules prohibit the
use of autodialers and prerecorded messages to call cell phones without the consumer’s consent.
Thus, most telemarketers are barred from contacting consumers on their cell phones.
The e-mail spreading the rumor often suggests that consumers put their cell phone numbers
on the National Do-Not-Call Registry by going on-line at www.donotcall.gov or by calling 1-
888-382-1222. This is the correct contact information for the National Do-Not-Call Registry.
Consumers may register their cell phone numbers as an extra protection against unwanted
telemarketing calls, although most telemarketing calls to cell phones would be illegal regardless
of whether the number is listed on the Do-Not-Call Registry.
For more information on the government’s Do-Not-Call Registry, go to www.donotcall.gov.

It's hard enough for even 911 operators to get your info.

Not to mention the "do not call list" is a scam.. We had it here in Canada to limit telemarketing calls and it didn't do a thing. Still get multiple calls every day. No bite in that watchdog.

The gov should spend our money on a study.
Makes sense though.

That's a good point, but not all of us have the luxury of being ABLE to turn them off. I get paid to be available to people if they should call me, so turning it off would make me lose some money. Not a great amount of money, but every little bit helps.
