Got this from the office mail.
JUST A REMINDER... 31 days from today, cell phone
numbers are being released to telemarketing companies
and you will start to receive sale calls.YOU WILL BE
CHARGED FOR THESE 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.
PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS

The manager, that dingbat that answers the phone and the moron that can't use a mouse to click on an icon all need it.

i have no faith that the telemarketers will not totally ignore the law and call our cells anyways should they be able to get their grubby hands on the numbers.

I must say i HATE the do not call list,wanna know why?Heres why, the number is 1-888-382-1222 my 800 number ay work is 1-800-888-3821 so as you can see if you put 800 in front of 888 (which is what 95% of people do when they call the list) they call me. Then when i tell them they reached an auto parts store they still want me to put them on the list.  So its kind of ironic that people that dont want to be bugged are playing role-reversal and bugging me Im talking a few hundred calls a day between 5 salesmen it really sucks

Change your number!!!
I know it's probably not feasible, but that's about the only way you'll ever do anything about it!

It's not exactly false folks. I just got my bill in the mail from T-Mobile yesterday and there was a notice in the bill about the list and it said that cell phone numbers WILL be on the registry.
Also, read the snope thoroughly. It doesn't say it's false.
