Do Not Call Me!!

This is the real deal and it’s really easy. Call the national “do not call” line to block unsolicited business calls to your cell phone. You must call using the cell phone whose number you wish to block. Call 1-888-382-1222. It’s good for 5 years and there are stiff penalties for companies that persist. My public service offering of the day.


Poem Artwork

Telemarketers on your cell?

Tell them all to go to hell

Worse than spam on your PC

These you answer for a fee

 

Right at dinner

Or midst of game

The stinking message

Is always the same

 

Need a mortgage

Or a loan

We can do it

On the phone

 

Extend your warranty

Support my cause

I am not

Your Santa Claus

 

Keep on calling

I’ll complain

Then we’ll see

Who feels the pain

 

Simple message

Meant for all

If you’re selling

DO NOT CALL

Nice poem and great information. I've called that number from both of my land lines and from my cellular, but it's probably getting close to the 5 yeaars. I suppose I should do it again. I've also passed the word to all my address book. Thanks Patrick.

Darn It - I was just about to call you with a fantastic investment opportunity in Porta Pottys - I guess I'll have to call old Matlack instead.

That's awesome, Patrick! I love it and I know what you mean. Since I did away with the home phone, I don't get that many any more. Thank goodness. By the way, I am having a poetry contest that benefits Riley Hospital for Children. If you are interested, go to my event page.

I get them too, and I don't even own a cell phone. I have been on the no call list for many years. But it seems that those who need donations, like political parties, like to call and beg.

A worthwhile rant that all of us can identify with.
