This is a blessing. We signed up last year through the web site and by December our calls went down... now we have a random call ever few weeks. This is a law that they should have passed much, much sooner.And I'm not even going to get started on spam. LOL.

Definitely. I mean, I have an unlisted phone # and I was still getting some telemarketing calls... but I haven't had a single one since December, and I signed up for it in November I think. I have a friend who has call waiting - and sometimes in a single phone conversation with her, she'll get 3 telemarketing calls on the call waiting! I told her about this recently because she didn't know about it... and then I heard about it again on WVIA radio news the other morning, so that's what prompted me to post this now - I don't know if anyone had posted it before - but a lot of people still don't know about it and still live with the aggravation.

If you live in Pennsylvania, you can sign your cell phone # up for this "Do Not Call" List. I registered my cell phone #, even though it's not yet gotten any telemarketing calls... at least now it likely won't ever. I have heard about people getting telemarketing calls on their cell phones. I think that's awful - because you'd think a telemarketing company would know it was a cell phone. As for nationally, I read in the Washington Post's Technews.com today that they're trying to get a nationwide Do Not Call List. Hopefully that will happen soon too. Though telemarketing associations are calling it an infringement on their free speech - pfft - which I don't understand at all.
