This only takes a minute to do but you have to call from your cell phone. In addition, if your children have cell phones you must call from each one separately....

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month.

REMINDER..... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls.

.... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

[B]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 .. It takes about 20 seconds.

Well, yeah, but it's not until 6pm local time. So I guess that you get to watch the world come to an end like a huge rolling blackout.
