Boston, MA - Representative George N. Peterson, Jr. (R-Grafton) is urging any citizens throughout the Commonwealth to call the National Do Not Call Registry, to avoid your cell phone number being released to telemarketing companies.

The process is fairly easy, and takes only a few minutes. From your cell phone, you must dial 888-382-1222, which is the National Do Not Call List phone line. From there, it is just a matter of minutes before your number will be blocked from this list for five (5) years.

“Even though this is a limited list, it is great that this is available,” stated Representative Peterson. “I am glad that this has been set up to hopefully avoid the majority of telemarketing calls.”

It is imperative that you call from your cell phone number that you want to have blocked. This takes only a matter of minutes, yet will save the headaches and frustration that come along with telemarketing calls.

Webmaster  - It's good to doublecheck such advice...   |71.245.238.xxx |2010-03-13 17:34:18 An excellent comment above. Indeed, "http://www.snopes.com" is a terrific resource for checking information. We at Westborough.com regret the unintentional spreading of potentially inaccurate information. I'm sure Rep. Peterson, however, believes in the concern behind this topic, and I suspect he was aiming to be of service to his constituency. This particular article was received as a press release issued by Rep. Peterson's aide David K. Muradian, Jr., whose signature information was as follows: David K. Muradian, Jr. Legislative Aide Office of the House Assistant Minority Leader Representative George N.
