Individual's cell phones will be called by professional salesmen in attempts to get you to buy their products.

To prevent these extra charges from appearing on your bill you must register your phone with the National Do Not Call List. the number to call is 888-382-1222. You must call this number from the cellular phone that you wish to have blocked.

Putting your number on the Do Not Call List will keep you free from telemarketers for five (5) years.
