cell phone numbers go public

...Hi there gladys, I don't remember hearing anything about this, or either I have completely forgotten about it. I don't use a cell phone, I have one but it sits somewhere dormant you would say. "o) Haven't seen any public announcement about it recently either, so I guess they want to let the people be ambushed and angry. I would think the money one pays for cell phone usage would be enough to insure some kind of privacy for your number, I guess not. Thanks for the information. Take care.

That would be really annoying. It's like robbing people of their money. I used to have something like that, I didnt know that the cellphone company would charge my number with every quotation they sent. When i first bought the SIM card, it says there its free, and every time I put load in it, the load doesnt last long and I dont even text many. It was later I found out about that quotation the company is sending and they are deducting money from my load. I felt robbed of my hard earned money for the load. I throw away the SIM and changed another one from a different company and made sure I dont add anything stupid like free quotes again.

Herro gladys46 Welcome to mylot. May you have the exciting experience I am enjoying communication with other mylot members. I went to the computer site and put our landline and both cell phones on the "Do Not Call", however I am still getting text messages. I wonder if this "Do Not Call" applies to text messages. The other thing I get and don't know how to stop is I get recording. There is no way to stop the call, it is just a recording giving a website or a phone number. I have limited minutes that my Husband and I share, so this subtracts from our minutes. Why should I have to increase my minutes plan to account for sales irresponsibility. Just another thought to add to the mix. Prosperous mylotting

Thanks for the info, I hadn't heard this and I sure don't like it! Do you know how to get on the "do not call" list because I sure want to be on it! Annie

NO, I haven't heard of it so far. Thank-s

Believe it or not...I feel just disgusted when i receive these sales calls. I used to just cut the call after receiving and hearing their voices. Or simply I will keep down the phone. After sometime, they only used to realise that I am not at all hearing anything. After I feel sorry for them, because I know its their job. But I cant bear it anymore. But I didn't know this recent news. Have already pissed off by these many sales calls, if there are more...dont know what to do!!

That is really unethical on part of government to let such a thing happen. Why must the consumer pay if some unscrupulous telemarketer wants to promote his product. It is him who should pay.We have Do No Disturb call number to avoid this. Nevertheless. telemarketer somehow surreptitiously reach you to at a time you are either busy or sleeping. Government must do something to put an end to this.
