REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next 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
Even if the message is saved on your phone, you will be charged for the minutes to listen to it.
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 TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 20 seconds.

Thanks, AR. It's got nothin to do with NYCRE, but just wanted to remind everyone.
That unfounded e-mail goes around every few months.
The real misery is the charitable and political calls, because my idiotic spouse supplies our phone number when making donations. They're exempt from the DNC registry.

NWT,
If possible, turn off the ringer.
Sad: I am very cautious giving to charity because not only do they bombard me with paper mail, but they CALL me, even tho I've asked them not to do so. ie: WLIW public TV: used to call me EVERY FRIKKIN MONTH!!!! I asked them to stop so many times, but, no, they kept calling. So, now, I don't give them a penny, so now, they neither call nor write. I'd like to send anonymous cash or money orders.
I wish these charities would respect donors' request if asked to not call.
