thanks for the info, I called and pressed one too ...so tired of all these numbers calling even though I have all phone numbers listed on the national no call list
I called the number back and was told I was called for a political survey and was given the option to press "1" to be removed from all future surveys. When I pressed it, the voice indicated I was removed from their list. We will see.
The Truth About Cell Phones And The Do Not Call Registry
The Federal Trade Commission today reiterated that despite the claims made in e-mails circulating on the Internet, consumers should not be concerned that their cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers in the near future, and that it is not necessary to register cell phone numbers on the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry to be protected from most telemarketing calls to cell phones.
Contrary to the e-mail, cell phone numbers are NOT being released to telemarketers, and you will NOT soon be getting telemarketing calls on your cell phone.
There is NO deadline by which you must register your cell phone number on the Registry.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers are barred from calling consumers on their cell phones without their consent.
The national associations representing telemarketers have stated that their members do not intend to start calling consumers’ cell phones.
There is only ONE National DNC Registry. There is no separate registry for cell phones.
The DNC Registry accepts registrations from both cell phones and land lines. You must call from the phone number that you want to register. If you register online, you must respond to a confirmation e-mail. www.donotcall.gov. OR The Do Not Call Registry accepts registrations from both cell phones and land lines. To register by telephone, call 1-888-382-1222
When I answered, the call stated that it was an automated call for a 30-second survey of political views. The call stated that in exchange for your participation, the anonymous sponsor of the call was giving out tickets to a free cruise, all expenses except taxes and port fees paid. The caller ID stated "IND SURVEY GROIP" (not a typo).
