Starting Jan 1, 2005, all cell phone numbers will be made public to
telemarketing firms by the publishing of a national cell phone directory.

This means as of Jan 1, your cell phone may start ringing off the hook with
telemarketers, but unlike your home phone, most of you pay for your 
incoming
calls.  These telemarketers will eat up your free minutes and end up 
costing
you money in the long run.

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 said that
you need to call 1-888-382-1222 from the cell phone that you wish to have
put on the "do not call list" to be put on the list. 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 save you
money!  Make sure you register now!
