This week’s tip is about an issue that’s been circulating in email chains and the internet, regarding cellphones and telemarketers. Rumor is, cell phone numbers are going to be released to telemarketers in the coming weeks, but I’ve done some research of my own and others say that cellphone numbers will only be released to create a cellphone phonebook of sorts, and that telemarketing calls are still illegal to cellphones. Anyhow, to be safe, you can register yourself on the National Do-Not-Call list by calling 1-888-382-1222, or by going to www.donotcall.gov. You can do this at any time, it will take 30 days to activate, and you can do this for your home phones as well!

Thanks to Mr. Grose for mentioning this in his classes, I just figured I’d spread the word!
