Thus began the voicemail that mysteriously arrived on my cell phone without the benefit of a ring not five minutes ago. I knew it had arrived because my screen lit up and Butler – a program I use to enhance event notifications and such – had changed my LED to orange, which is how I set it when I wanted to be notified that there was a voice mail.
I checked my voicemail – which, incidentally, I am charged airtime for during prime time – and lo and behold, t’was spam. Spam! On my cell phone! I paid to listen to spam!
Is your cell number on the Do Not Call registry? (www.donotcall.gov)
If it’s been on the registry for more than 31 days, you can make a complaint against them if you know either the number that called you, or the company name.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a DNC registry in Canada yet. I’d dearly love one though. Then maybe I won’t have to keep telling that window washing company to bring a ladder that reaches at least to the 6th floor.
