Easy Telemarketing

Is anybody getting telemarketing calls on their cell phone?

I always thought they'd only call your home number but apparently not. This morning my cell phone woke me up and it was the same "courtesy" call I've been getting on my home phone for like half a year now! Has anybody else been getting or has gotten any type of telemarketing calls on your cell phone before? I only text occasionally and only to a few of my close friends, nobody or nothing else. What puzzles me is that it's the same call I've been getting on my home phone. They've been calling for months and months now, about 3 calls a day.

1. Nope....but I think I know why...sometimes organizations(like the places you text after seeing a commercial) sell your # to telemarketers. And the only way I heard of for getting rid of that is paying for an extra service to block that. Or if it's just 1 #, have your provider block the #.
2. Put your number on the "Do not call list". I used to get the same call, once a month. I would hang up on them. One time, I told them that they were calling a cell phone and using up my minutes. I asked to never call me again. They stopped.
3. Yes and by texting things does not get you telemarketers, they can get your cell phone number from anywhere, even when you sign up for bills. if you do the "do not call list" it only lasts for a year and then you have to do it again
