A friend just sent this so I've called and got my cell phone listed (Strangely, the recording said the state of Kansas and federal government; I presume whatever state you call from will get named.)
REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next month. REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls..... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS. To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222 .It is the National DO NOT CALL list.
It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 20 seconds.
UPDATE: Snopes says it's a hoax. Sorry for saying the sky is falling without first checking.
