Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / April 2005OT Sales Calls to cell phone
The advertizing people can start calling you on your cell phone pretty soon. You pay for the call. To get on a no-call list, use your cell phone (Or other Phone) to register on 1 888 382 1222 0n-line at donotcall.gov. you can register more than one phone at a time. Calls can still legally come from: Charities Those with whom you have "established a business relationship" (Remember that sweepstakes blank you filled out?) Politicans Karl The cell phine do not call list is a old Urban Legend, the rest may not happen either: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp > The advertizing people can start calling you on your cell phone pretty > soon.

Call the number and they identify the state. I will check further, but if so, snopes is partially wrong........ Let me know, so I can let Snopes know if anything is new. > John, I believe it is a State of Arizona thing, for Arizona residents. > Call the number and they identify the state.

That call is going to be followed up with a very nasty note to whoever placed the call along with an invoice for both the price of the call AND my time.

At the government site cited, there is a do-not-call list that many people, with Uncle Sam ads in newspapers toiuting them, started using a few months ago. There are also telephoine calling machnes that connect a salesperson to the line when the phone is answered. (I used one in 1980s. I also know a/the guy who invented the/a machine to call numbers and play a taped message when someone answered.) The numbers from this list are supposed to be entered, under penality of law, into these machnes every so often. These machines accept cell phone numbers as well as land-line numbers. What do you have to lose by following uo on what was suggested? (This was also on the AP a short time ago. - but some ULs do get there.) It's sort of like the atheist who falls asleep every night praying. It ain't supposed to work, but nothing is lost by trying. Karl If you think it's true, call, but I'm just pointing out that it's said to be a UL. You can pretty much assume if you get a "sky is falling' e-mail, someone is sending you a UL. Here's another link about the subject. http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/business/10427118.htm > OK, may be it is a UL, but I don't think so. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Karl SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 Challenger (Green Wrapper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 55 Speedster 50 2R 10 truck I have, in fact, received the odd sales call on my cellphone. Very rarely, though. I don't know if it is or is not illegal to make sales calls to a cellphone in Canada. I suspect that the reason such calls are so rare is that cellphone numbers are not in directories. It looks like Canada may soon adopt a do-not-call law after the U.S. pattern. Gord Richmond It's also supposed to be illegal for automated voice systems to cold call someone. You know, the "Please Hold while we connect you to a representative" calls. The law only allows this from those businesses you have a "relationship" with. Those relationships can be quite nebulous. I simply refuse to take calls that are unknown to me, if the caller ID is blocked, then they don't ever get to speak to me. Sadly, my voice mail gets quite full. > OK, may be it is a UL, but I don't think so. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Karl SignatureWTF is Oujdeivß? http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Greek/grk.cgi?number=3762&version=kjv to contact me try Oudeis via softhome.net > It's also supposed to be illegal for automated voice systems to cold call > someone.
