Another Reason To Hate Telemarketers

[THE_JOKER]

As it was posted on another thread by Velvett, telemarketers will soon have access to everybody's cell phone number.

That means that you will be annoyed and called non-stop the same way you now are on your regular land-based line telephone.

So why does this suck even more than the usual telemarketing calls?

Because on your cell phone (AT LEAST MINE, ANYWAYS), you get charged minutes---EVEN IF IT IS SOMEBODY ELSE WHO IS CALLING YOU!

So that means if I get like 30 calls I month, I will get charged 30 additional minutes on my cell phone plan, even if I hang up on these telemarketers within the first minute of them calling me.

SO WHAT ARE MY CHOICES?:

1. Call the national do not call cell phone list, or

2. GET CHARGED TONS OF MINUTES ON MY CELL PHONE PLAN FROM TELEMARKETERS CALLING ME NON-STOP!

Don't these people have any consideration for the cost that they will be bringing to cell phone users?

Are you frigging kidding?
Telemarketers are as close to Satan as you can get outside of the movies.
