Patty, there is a national Do Not Call list for cell phones, similar to the national Do Not Call list for land lines.

I am on the National Do Not Call list for cell phones, along with my family being on the DNC list for land lines.

Thing about it, is cell phone numbers are NOT going to be released to telemarketers.  That's an Urban Legend.

What's your link to the National DNC list for cell phones?
