I have my cell phone on this, but I still get a spam text every month or so. Any way to stop that?

Can I put in my office number on the list... The asshole who worked there earlier keeps giving out his old number (which I inherited); so I get 2-3 telemarketing calls a day ranging from car dealerships to magazine subscriptions.

AFAIK the earliest anyone's can run out is June, 2008. I don't see anything on their site about how to renew after the five years. Anyone know?

This was in the confirmation email:

Once you have registered, your phone number registration will be effective for 5 years. It will be illegal for most telemarketers to call you, and you will be able to file a complaint if a telemarketer does call you.

And thanks for the link for not getting Credit Card offers. I tried it so we'll see what happens.
