Re: uh

said by S_engineer See Profile :

I see it now...1st the cell companies sell your numbers to advertisers, then they ask you for a fee not to have these calls sent to your phone...they get revenue both ways and the consumer gets reamed (without the curtousy of vasoline )both ways!

Like I needed another reason for my Razr to hit the garbage can...
When were the numbers sold? And what are these charges to have some sort of calls not sent to your phone?
