| REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls. ...YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222 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 TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 20 seconds. |

| #6 The Do Not Call registry is still valid. Instead of expiring after 5 years, it is now permanent. Your registration will not expire. Telephone numbers placed on the National Do Not Call Registry will remain on it permanently due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became law in February 2008.

| #5 The "do not call" database idea has now been discontinued. There is no longer any such thing as a "do not call" registration for either land or cell lines. |

| #3 It is a good idea to register your land lines though. I registered mine a few years ago and very rarely get what I believe to be an illegal call. |
