Is it true that cell phone number can be used for people trying to sell you things? Can you block them?

You have to be very careful when you give out your info, yes marketing people can and will call your mobile number if they have it. Companies sell these numbers to other parties. You can ask to be put on a do not call list. By law, they must comply with this request. If you continue receiving calls from the same number, you can tell them you will file a report for harrassment. This will usually stop them from calling... at least for one year.Is it true that cell phone number can be used for people trying to sell you things? Can you block them?
Yes, cell phone numbers are now available to telemarketers. Plus anything you fill out can have your information sold to them.





You can call the National No Call number because YOU pay for the calls you receive from the marketers. To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222.

It will take about a month for this to go into effect but once it is working if you receive a call, you can report it. This last for five years, the same length of time as your land line if you have it entered in the lists, and you will have to re-enroll at that time.
