Just a Reminder---- THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY, ALL CELL PHONE NUMBERS
ARE BEING RELEASED TO TELEMARKETING COMPANIES AND YOU WILL START TO
RECEIVE SALE CALLS........YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS......

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 5 years.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS OR GO TO:

According to this you can not add Cells to the Do Not Call Registry.

Are you seeing something I'm not?

"In any case, the Federal Trade Commission does allow cell phone users to add their numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry — the same one already in force for landlines — either on the Web or by calling 1-888-382-1222.

Contrary to what some variants of the email rumor claim, there is no 31-day or December 15 deadline for adding cell phone numbers to the Do Not Call list — indeed, there is no deadline whatsoever. "

When I called and added mine, is specifically state you had to be calling from the cell phone you wanted removed.
