Just registered my cell phone on the national do not call list for telemarketers. Get yours registered folks because the numbers are being released to them this month.
1-888-382-1222 is the number to do it at. You have to call it with your cell phone you want to register.

gov - i think this is just a reoccurrence of fake alarms which have been circulated for years ...... registering your number can do no harm but it's not necessary.
i believe this statement from nov 2010 is still true:
The FTC also has debunked the incorrect message on its Web site, which states: "You may have received an e-mail telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers don’t call consumers on their cell phones without their consent."
Well the number I listed is the FCC number and we know how well telemarketers play by the rules. For 30 seconds of my time it is worth being safe rather than bothered.
Disclaimer I use my cell number when I have to use one to register at a site to make an order and have received some calls I didn't solicit so figured registering would put an end to it. I did read the Snopes thing. 
i know, gov - that's why i said it can't do any harm ......
and for online registration go here

Sorry if I was cranky in my response. I just hate telemarketers almost as much as antis.
the only odd calls I get now are from my carrier to upgrade to this or that......
I keep the block updated.

Make a list of the politicians that do the auto message thing and vote accordingly.
