In Response To: NCR Cell Phone Users Extra! ()

...doesn't necessarily make it untrue. I went to the Snopes site and it is shown below: (This is exactly how it appears on the web page.)

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp

Claim: An upcoming directory will soon make all cell phone numbers available to telemarketers.

Status: Multiple:
A consortium of wireless providers is planning to create a 411 (directory assistance) service for cell phone numbers: True.

You must register your cell phone with the national "Do Not Call" directory before 1 January 2005 to prevent your number from being provided to telemarketers: False.

About two weeks ago, I posted something similar and received a lot of overexcited "it's untrue" responses. Certain people just love to complain and to them, the cartoon below applies. grin
