JUST A REMINDER...6 days from today, 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.... 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.

Nope, it's absolutely NOT true. It is an urban legend that has been around for a while. My favorite place to check things like this is:
www.snopes.com
A link to your "legend":

Please do everyone a favor and check snopes before passing on information you get from "a reliable source"... (not directed at you personally Dave)

These days, I'm gunshy.
It's probably a number to be added to a do call list.

I thought about checking that out, but had forgotten the (snopes) web site.
I'll bookmark that one.

I think it is true, as some already start it actually, I was shocked when I receive a recording call from some real state company and it has happen like 3 times in the last 3 weeks,

Their occasional spam text messages on my phone are bad enough, but I'm not ready for a deluge of telemarketers.

David,
Call you cell phone company and ask them. I mean who better would know the truth? Or so we would hope.

(INSERT BIG LAUGH HERE)
Actually I have, and when I get no help, I escalate the call, and if I still get no help I escalate again, and again and again, until I DO get help.
I usually get help B-)

and the problem with most of those customer service centers is that the escalator, or elevator, doesn't reach the top floor...
