<p>Don’t forget to register for the Do-Not-Call registry from your home phone, and separately, from each of your cell phones. </p>

<p>All cell phone numbers went public on Thursday, 10/11/07.They will be released to Telemarketing Companies and then you will get charged for calls received. Then there’s the annoyance of marketing calls on Sundays and dinner times.</p>

<p>In order to prevent this, you must call from each of your phones and follow the prompts:</p>

<p>1-888-382-1222</p>

<p>This is the National Do Not Call list and blocks your number for 5 years.</p>

<p>I got this in my inbox this week too and looked it up - I can only imagine the uproar about something like that (getting charged for unsolicited calls) if it were true! </p>

<p>Oops, sorry if its not true that cell phone numbers are being made public. I have gotten marketing calls, 2 or 3 times, on my cell phone anyhow. So I did put my cell phone number on the do-not-call list.
And I also re-instated my home telephone number on it, since that was last done some years ago.</p>

<p>Thanks for the heads-up. I just called to reinstate my home phone.</p>
