may be a way to get it. I heard something about this also, but I thought they

said it was not a definite thing and also verizon has no part in it. The

certain cell phone companies were going to make there own telephone directory

with cell phone numbers that anyone could access but again, I do not believe

this is definite. I don't think it is a good idea to put your cell phone

number down on the internet where many people could get it, but that is just my

humble opinion.

Thought this may be of interest to some of you. The site I think is being

overloaded, so it may take a while to get through. May want to try it at

night.

Joan Dorn received this e-mail and felt I should pass it along:

Starting 1/1/05, all cell phone numbers will be made public to

telemarketing firms.

So this means as of January 1, your cell phone

may start ringing off the hook with telemarketers, but unlike your home

phone, most of you pay for your incoming calls. These telemarketers

will eat up your free minutes and end up costing you money in the long

run.

It only takes a minute or two to register on-line.

According to the National Do Not Call List, you have until December

15, 2004 to get on the national " Do not call list " for cell phones.

They said that you need to call 1-888-382-1222 from the cell phone that you

wish to have put on the " do not call list " to be put on the list, or

you can do it on-line at www.donotcall.gov
