If you don't already know...........
JUST A REMINDER....26 days from today, 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.

Do you have any more info on why cell phones are being opened up to telemarketers?  First I've heard of that.

ETA:  According to Snopes, it's not true:
