Is this urban folk lore?

Nick Thompson
Is this true?




 
Cell phone numbers going public tomorrow



REMINDER....all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow 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  www.donotcall.gov  
It blocks your number for five (5) year s. 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.

Yes. IIRC, there's a link on the FCC page about this.

Do you know about snopes.com? Great fun for debunking email missives.
