Telemarketers on cell phones....

For some reason, I thought this wasn't allowed? I answered my cell phone (without looking at the number -- the reason being no one calls me except my husband) and it was a recorded telemarketing message! And to top it off, it was a 407 area code, so that means I'll be charged long distance!

THEN, I recently received a telemarketing TEXT MESSAGE! Don't I have to pay for that, too? How can they be allowed to do this?

I put my cell number on that "donotcall.gov" list, and hopefully it won't happen anymore....

I would have totally threw my phone across the room if this happened to me.

I was told the same thing about the texting, but why would you be charged long distance if the person called you?

Any airtime gets charged against our minutes, doesn't it?

I have gotten those texts and I am disgusted. I use text messaging so I can't turn it off.
