It's effective for 5 years!

If an advertiser calls your cell phone you need to get their information and file a complaint at this same number.

You may register if you want but having your phone number is the data base will require you to opt in for it. See more here:

I signed up for that a month ago, to keep them away from my cell.

Thanks for thinking of me and everyone! It's a good list to belong too.

Happy New Year!!!

I got rid of my land line. If they start calling my cell, I'll get rid of that too.

This has been posted many times and it has been shown to be a hoax. No need to register.

I receive telemarketing calls a few times per week on my cellphone. I'm not on a do-no-call list. Are you saying that it is already against the law even without the list?

This is a hoax. It remains illegal for anyone to call your cell phone for unsolicited marketing, etc.

Yes it is. Tell them they're illegally calling a cell phone and to remove you from the list.
