Turns out you're not the only mobile phone user who is getting barraged by telemarketers and zinged by unwanted texts.
In the words of the late, great TV newsman Tom Snyder: "You're one of millions."
According to a new study by the Pew Research Center, 68 percent of cell owners have received unsolicited sales calls on their phones at some point and 25 percent say their cells ring with telemarketers at least a few times a week.
According to the Federal Communications Commission, telemarketing calls to cell phones "is - and always has been - illegal in most cases."
Can you believe that number! That is well over half of all cell phone users. I am afraid this is a trend that will only increase and will not be dying anytime soon. Chime in and tell me what you think.
