Register your cell phone #'s with the do not call registry

[tomm10]

I entered my cell phone into the registry when I entered my home phone. I figured it couldn't hurt.

As far as deadlines are concerned, even if this story were true the registry updates every three months AFAIK so you can enter your number at any time and at most you'll suffer for three months.

Everytime you list your cell number with a company, it has the potential to end up in the hands of marketers. And don't EVER be late on a bill where you've provided your cell number. God forbid a collection agency gets hold of your number. They'll sell it in a heart beat!

So, regardless of what snopes says, be smart and register your number. If a telemarketer calls you on your phone, play along and get the name of the company. Then call and report them so they can enjoy a hefty fine for using your precious cell phones minutes to hawk their garbage.
