Hello, I want to remind to the friends in the Synthzone, of the following:
Starting Jan 1, 2005, all cell phone numbers will be made public to
telemarketing firms. So this means as of Jan 1, your cell phone may start ringing
off the hook with telemarketers.
According to the National Do Not Call List, you have until Dec. 15th 2004 to get on the national "Do not call list" for cell phones.
They also said you can do it online at http://www.donotcall.gov/ Registering only takes a minute, is in effect for 5 years and will possibly save you money (definitely frustration)! Make sure you
register now!..
Thank you for your interest in helping fellow SZ members to stop unsolicited telemarketing 'mdorantes'.
There are a few mis-conceptions with your post though.
There is NO December 15th 2004 deadline. In fact there is NO deadline whatsoever.
This article will explain more about Mobile Phones and the purported Cell Phone Directory and also in regards to the National Do Not Call Registry:

But it still is a good idea to sign up your Cell Phone IMO. Just to be on the safe side; as you never know if the Wireless Phone Providers will eventually publish the 411 directory or not.
Best regards,
Mike
