[Cialug] cell phone registry - do not call

[cialug@cialug.org]

the national do not call list has all the cell phone numbers (area code and 
prefix) on it already. my cell number area code & suffix is 319-541-**** 
the national do not call list has 319-541-**** on it by default. if the fcc 
is going to undo this i'm calling my senator. i do not want to waste my 
precious minutes on some sales call.

don't get me wrong if you have done business with a company they can call 
you on anything related to that prior business relationship and that is the 
only exception to which they can call. i've had extensive training on 
compliance with the do not call registry. i used to work for MCI 
(2002-2003) and i also worked for Gallup (1999-2001), both could not call 
cell phones for any reason what so ever. this does not mean it didn't 
happen. when it did, the company is liable for any time used on the persons 
cell phone. not reimbursing the minutes makes the company subject to a 
$50,000 fine and other civil damages.

now unless someone can pull up the legislation saying that you can get 
unsolicited calls on cell phones i'd love to read it. (its good to have 
these things on hand when your on the phone w/ a senator).
