For years, Florissant residents as well as others across the state have signed up in the past for the Missouri Do Not Call Registry for their landlines. Now, Missouri legislators are considering extending the same process to cellphones.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, both the state House and Senate have legislation to add cellphones to the Missouri’s do not call list.
The legislation would allow for residents to opt in to protecting their cellphones from receiving calls, text messages and faxes from telemarketers.
Would you support a bill like this?
Have you had problems with telemarketers and your cell phone?

Up until about a week ago, I had never had issue with this. All of the sudden, I'm getting calls about 8 times a day (most hangups, but when are linked to telemarketers). I'd rather ditch my phone.
