Dave -

I haven't verified this independently (I'm in Russia, as you know), but it sounds really useful.

  * The POINT: Cell Phone Numbers Have "Become" Public
* The REALITY... all cell phone numbers were released this month to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls. You will be charged for these calls.
  * The SOLUTION:
To prevent unwanted inbound cell phone calls,
call the following number from your cell phone:
888-382-1222

This 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.
