Reputation: | I just posted this brief (but very effective post - IT WORKS) on my blog. This will show you how to have your cell phone added to the National Do Not Call List for Cell Phones. Remember, Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month. So, beat them to the punch! http://thewisebuck.com/2009/10/10/bl...nds-heres-how/ |

Reputation: | that's too bad - as this has work for me (thus far) and a few others that have tried it. I was getting 2-3 calls per day and he calls have stopped. But you are right about the hair regrowth! LOL still trying on that one. |

Reputation: | FYI, US numbers are 10 digit. If you ever see a 12 digit number calling on your caller ID, do not answer it, or you will be sorry! Those are coming from the the Nigerian money scammers (and others) outside the US. If you answer, even if you do not say anything, you will be called "forever". They are like removing tatoos or internet "tracks"...you never get rid of 100% and...of course, never return a call to an "800, 866, 900" etc number. The purpose is to retreive you number, which is displayed when you call them back (including private/blocked numbers).

Reputation: | Good info to know. I am still at no new telemarketing calls since I am on the list - let's see if that maintains status quo. It's become a maze just to stay off these people's radar's. thanks for the extra info. |
