Telemarketers calling Cell Phone #s?

For the past month, I've been getting calls that have a 6-digit # on the caller ID (I.E. 680 010). When I answered the past 3 times, it was another cell phone company trying to get me to switch from T-Mobile to another provider. Here's the catch, they're asking me for my cell phone # when they already dialed it. After they called the 4th time (rudely interrupting me at Church), I've been ignoring every one of their calls.
Anybody else getting this?

Isn't there a "Do Not Call" list for cell users to apply to (whatever the process) to block those "chuckleheads"?

Yeah, but I think this group got around the "Do Not Call" system.

Hmm..not sure about cell phones because I don't have one, but man, telemarketers call my house phone so much. What bothers me the most is when it's a recording and not even a real person, because then you don't even have the chance to tell them you're not interested.
I mean sure you can just hang up, but hey, sometimes it's satisfying to tell them how much they're bothering you.

They never ever leave messages on my machine if I don't answer.
Which is you would think they would get the message, but sometimes they would call back night after night after night, even if they don't get an answer.

They have never called my cell phone since I got on the Do Not Call list. They do call my house like crazy and leave messages on the answering machine if we do not answer. Best thing is to do is to just answer them and tell them no so they can mark you off their list or they will continue to call back.

My husband and I both use Cellular and we have never had a call from a telemarketer.

I haven't received a call (Before the do not call list) and now thankfully I'm on the list....
