My carrier, which is Cingular, sent me this notification in my monthly statement.
In the memo it said the telemarketing industry will have access to all issued cell-phone numbers and nothing is to prevent them from calling except being registered on the Do-Not-Call list.

In order to circumvent your airtime from being used up by unwanted calls of this nature, we recommend registering (with the Do-Not-Call list).

And auto dialers are the little gizmos that randomly dial numbers and leave a recorded message (then holds to see if you respond), which has nothing to do from preventing an actual person calling you from a listautomated or not.

I seriously doubt my carrier that is responsible for billing me, is sending me a hoax.

But do as you wish,no sweat off my brow. Im registered!
