[SEL] Info on Communications

[Judge Tommy Turner]

This is somewhat off topic but since we have to have a mode of 
communications in transferring our thoughts and ideas, I thought I would 
  send this to the list for anyone that had not already seen it.

I'm sure most of you are aware that a cell directory will soon be 
released that contains cell numbers.  As a result, your cell phone 
number will probably be accessed by telemarketers and you could possibly 
start receiveing numerous annoying calls each day running up your air 
time and monthly bill (if you receive a telemarketing call and you hang 
up after only 10 seconds, you will more than likely have one minute 
charged against your cell).  I've got a friend in the Communications 
field who sent me the info below.  I thought I would pass it on just in 
case you haven't already taken care of this.

In the coming weeks, cell phone numbers are being released to 
telemarketing companies and you will start to receive tele-sales calls. 
Call this number from your cell phone 888-382-1222. It is the National 
Do Not Call list. It blocks your number for 5 years.

You can also register "do not call numbers" using the FCC web site at:
https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx
Remember, to register via phone you must call from the phone you wish to
register.
