We have a cell phone and our brother has one too. We have been getting calls from people trying to sell us something on our cell phones. We was sent out this paper saying we can opt out we did this. We don't get but a few our brother gets several of them a day. I tried to tell him to talk to the carrier of his phone. So do you a cell phone? Are you getting these calls? Do you know how to opt out?

No, I don't have a cell phone. I only use the land-lines. Yes, as you say, the marketing calls on cell phones really become very annoying some times. I use a cell phone only when going out of town, and when travelling overseas. That's about it. At some airports, one can rent a cell phone for use just while in the country. Very reasonable rates too.

Hi Greenline. I only have a land line cause I use it for the net. I didn't know that you could rent cell phones. That is cool never too old to learn something new. Thanks for sharing. I just don't understand why the cell phone companies don't put a block on all marketing calls.

Hi Grubder. Don't your cell phone company charge you when you get the sms? I would call the company and tell them to stop or I will change my phone company. I called the number that called me right as soon as I hung up and when I got through it said the number had been changed or disconnected. I found that odd cause it was seconds after I hung up. Oh well thanks have a great day.
