Two days ago, the calls started.
The first day, only once, from (801) 494-1992... an area code I recognised as Utah. I figured it was a wrong number, because I never EVER give out my cell phone to businesses and the number didn't belong to any of my friends.
Yesterday, they called me 5 times, hourly.
After the second call, I Googled the number to see if I could figure out what it was about, and came up with several mentions of that phone number on various message boards. It's a company called "Western WATS" and they do surveys... long ones, from what I read on the message boards... and they are now allowed to call cell phones unless you're registered on the Do Not Call list. You can do this quickly and easily at www.donotcall.gov I thought I'd put the word out, since they can eat up your cell phone minutes if you're not on your guard.
