I wonder what happens when someone hacks the database, gets all the numbers, and starts spamming them from a different country..

that explains why it's not sending me the e-mails i was expecting. it was in the paper here this morning, and apparantly on the morning shows as well.. I guess they underestimated how enthusiastic we'd be about wanting to stop those phone calls!

I'm on my state's list, and let me tell you, it works! This is a hot deal for sure.
Which state? I signed up for the NY list a few months back and I thought I read that it applies nationally. Do I have to sign up for this one too ?
 
Damn, read thisw from the website:

Q: If I register my number on the National Do Not Call Registry, will it stop all telemarketing calls?

A: No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most, but not all, telemarketing calls. Some businesses are exempt from the national registry and still can call you even if you place your number on it. Exempt businesses include:
long-distance phone companies
airlines
banks and credit unions; and
the business of insurance, to the extent that it is regulated by state law.

However, many telemarketing calls are placed by professional telemarketing companies, and even if the company whose goods or services are being sold is exempt, the telemarketing company may be covered.
You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship.
The FCC has initiated a rulemaking proceeding that would extend the National Do Not Call Registry to many of the businesses that are exempt from FTC coverage.

Name a company that you get regular calls from that doesn't fall into one of these catagories.
Long Distace / Telecom services
Charity
Credit Card Companies
so you can add you name to the list and the people who annoy you the most can still call.. :|
 
it won't help, y'all are dreaming, they will figure out ways around it , or just ignore it, or move all the shops off shore where the law doesn't apply


keep dreaming
