[Fredslist] How do I get my cell phone # on a do not cal list?

[Raj Goel, CISSP]

Folks,

      Cell phones are already on the DO NOT CALL system.

      What (most likely) happened, is that you gave your cell to an 
existing vendor (bank, hotel, starbucks, etc) and as part of your new 
Terms Of Service, you automatically allowed the vendor to give 
you/sell your cell phone #.

      If you're a Verizon customer, they announced 3 weeks ago that 
they would start selling marketing data on subscribers to advertisers.

      Most banks, mortgage companies, retailers revised their terms in 
the past 6 months, that automatically give them the right to share 
your data with their affiliates.

      Nothing can be done about it, other than telling the callers 
that this is your CELL phone and they should not call you again.
      Unfortunately, their affiliates will call you from a different 
number, anyway.
