I got an email from a friend letting me know that 12 days from today cell phone numbers will given out to telemarketing companies allowing them to call cells, thus costing you minutes/$$$
The email included a phone number to call keeping your number from being given out.
I called it and it appears to be legit!
Anyone else know of this
This is the number I was given and called.
888 382-1222

The email included this link also

You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers.
