Great link. Just added all of our cell phone numbers. :)

I left the FAX line open for themn though...

You know, they call the fax line here in office you can hear them saying hello , hello over the hand shake tone!

I included my office fax number. It seems like every other morning I get an unsolicited fax to buy life insurance, sell my business, get a loan etc. I immediately call the unsuscribe number at the bottom of the fax , but I still keep getting the damn things from other losers. Will the do not call list prevent unsolicited junk faxes?

[SomeSailor]

It should. My fax machine is set to "hold & store" so unless I recognize or am expecting a fax.... I just hit "clear' and off they go into the ether... :)

Damage controll -- Snopes say nope

Check on Snopes sure enough it's there- also article is over a year old – So I didn’t do my due diligence on this one- My bad

Fact is you can register your cell phone number on the FTC do not call list.
All I can say, I have to take a compliance exam every year from the FTC on DNC laws.

This year we did have a bunch of questions about solicitation to cell #s

Dont put up with unwanted faxes. Call the FCC or go to this website (http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/unwantedfaxes.html).
They will take care of it for you.
