Are Cell Phone Numbers Going Public next month?
You may get a chain letter with the following entry in it:
——
“REMINDER…. all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls..
YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS, even if the message is saved on your phone, you will be charged for the minutes to listen to it.
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. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.”
——
This is speculation and has not been proven so far. There are no reports of any cell phone numbers going public anytime soon. However, it wouldn’t hurt to call the National DO NOT CALL registry anyway and add your number to it if you haven’t already.
