Stop telemarketing calls to your cell.phone.
Telemarketing calls are a nuisance; it doesn't matter if you get them on a landline or mobile phone. But for mobile phone users, telemarketing calls present a different problem. Mobile phone users often have usage plans that limit the amount of time they may use their phone, especially during business hours Monday through Friday when most telemarketing calls are received. Telemarketing calls to a mobile phone waste valuable minutes and money.
