My parents were majorly happy that I'd put their number on the list.
No, there's no check to see if that is the account holder's number.
I usually got long distance telemarketing calls on my cell. Not very
often, but I want none. So it goes on the list too.

Because of the fact that the subscriber pays for airtime on calls received
as well as sent, telemarketing calls to cellular customers are prohibited.
I'll try to look up chapter & verse in the morning if someone hasn't beaten
me to it.

I hope this isn't all some government plot to generate a list of numbers
and associate them with email addresses. I wonder if we'll all be getting
spam or something worse from this in the future.

If you're worried about giving your email address, there will soon be a
toll-free phone number you can use to register your number.
Me, I just registered on the site. My email address is already
associated with my phone number via WHOIS, anyhow.

I suspect the goal is to prevent people from being unknowingly taken
*off*. There's a form for that too, and if they didn't require an email
address for verification, it's not hard to imagine some unscrupulous
telemarketing company writing a 'bot to remove whole swaths of numbers.
Presumably when you request to be removed from the list, they email the
same address you used to register and wait for a confirmation.

Then submit again. It took less than 5 minutes for my confirmation email to
arrive yesterday.

Yeah, that was my experience Dan. However, I've yet to be able to click on
the link to complete the deal. It always tells me that the website is
unavailable and to try again later.

I got the email late Friday night (I registered Friday morning/afternoon, and
clicked on it on Monday), and it was relatively painless.

I was persistent and kept going back to the site when I got error messages
or got there and could not arrow up and down, and finally signed in and got
my three emails a few minutes later. Last time I had not done the second
stage of the sign-in as I did not realize I had to page down to see it.
