REMINDER 16 days from today, 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 are wanting to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number. HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS OR GO TO: www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

Snopes is correct , under current FCC regulations telemarketers may not call cell phones because the phone's user pays for the call . The telemarketing industry has been lobbying for the right to call cell phones , but so far are being denied for this reason . There is also , however , rumblings that the telecoms are considering switching to having only the originator of the call pay for it as they do with land lines in response to consumer pressure , so this could change .

If you read it in an email, it probably is not true.

Doesn't matter for me anyway, I've got free incoming (Nextel). About the only thing I like about it though....
