Cell Phone Numbers go public

I wonder if this is why I have been getting lots of calls on my cell phone lately that I don’t recognize and don’t answer.

Yesterday, I added my cell phone number to the registry at www.donotcall.gov.

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month. REMINDER.....  all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls. .... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:  888-382-1222 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting            888-382-1222      end_of_the_skype_highlighting. It is the National DO NOT CALL list It will only take a minute of your time.. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number. HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON .. It takes about 20 seconds.   https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx
