I'm with Cingular, which is now AT&T.
Their occasional spam text messages on my phone are bad enough, but I'm not ready for a deluge of telemarketers.

Call you cell phone company and ask them. I mean who better would know the truth? Or so we would hope.

Actually I have, and when I get no help, I escalate the call, and if I still get no help I escalate again, and again and again, until I DO get help.
I usually get help B-)

and the problem with most of those customer service centers is that the escalator, or elevator, doesn't reach the top floor...

I have been using the do not call list for quite a long time now for all my phones and it works quite well. I can't attest to the effectiveness with my cell, which is my primary business phone, but it's rare when I get calls or even the annoying faxes I used to get.

Well, since Cody correctly identified the source of the information as the internet, I thought it only right to go the man who claims to have invented it for the real truth!

You guys should take some of your own advise before you continue spreading lies.
He never said he "invented" the internet.
Check out what he said here:

It amazes me how people hear something thru some grapevine and take it as gospel without confirming.
That "don't let the facts get in the way" of a good character assasination attitude.
Just because the present administration does it continually does not make it acceptable.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT "IS" IS......
To quote YOUR source, "I took the initiative to create the internet"
Close enough for most people! Invent or create... pick some nits if you want to.

Looks like your deletion worked after all. Basically, even with the tangent it took, the posts were on topic. :-)

It worked, but not at the right time.
Unfortunately, my fingers started typing before the my brain kicked in. I actually clicked "Cancel", but the reply was posted anyway.
I care nothing about stirring a political debate, nor bringing to surface the emotions that many folks can't/won't hold in.
