Just one question, Sue. Do you ever try to reach anyone on their cell phone?
Btw, no charge for checking voice mail. ------ Forwarded Message From: Sue Cubic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 17:44:54 -0400 Subject: Re: OT:Cell phone do not call >At 04:06 PM 10/2/2007, you wrote: >>I think it is necessary to register cellphones (unless you enjoy wasting >>your time and minutes listening through all the voicemail spam before you >>are allowed to delete it). Ours were inundated until we put them on the >>list. We also got the occasional text message spam until we had it >>disabled. I don't know if text message spam is covered under Do Not Call (?). I VERY rarely turn my cell phone on. I carry it for emergency or for my own convenience. I turned it on last week for the first time in probably 2 mo., and there were 8 voice mails. I guess you have to call a number to get them? It's a prepaid TracFone. I didn't. I finally figured out how to delete them. I've given that number to 2 friends plus the nursing home (who insist I "sign my friend out to a phone number" when I take her out). My friends know I don't have the phone on unless we've made those arrangements. So I'm pretty sure those were spam calls. I'm not going to spend my minutes calling to listen to spam voicemails. Or wrong numbers, if that's what it was. I use up my 500 minutes--or whatever it is that I'm required to buy each year--in calling some LD friends toward the end of my year. I honestly don't want people finding me when I'm not home. They can leave a msg at home and I'll call them back. Most ppl who know me know they can reach me on email just as fast anyway. I actually had to get rude with a woman who came into my shop today. We started our transaction, and her cell phone rang. She proceeded with a conversation with her daughter--simple chit-chat. Meanwhile, I'm standing there waiting to finish with her. I did finally say something to her. Like I had nothing better to do than to wait while she finished her conversation?
