the number of people with phone numbers are starting to get smaller as more people to are going to cell phone lines only. also, since the government is now in the business of giving away cell phones many low income households only have these.
josh we are experiencing a certain percentage of people who have ported their over their landlines, but that is just a coincidence I'm looking to target those numbers which have always been cell numbers and would not show up on a list.
Cell phone numbers are already mixed in with most lists now though. The problem isn't the number of people with phones in the house, its the number of phones that are not on the DNC list.
It used to not be legal to telemarket to cell phones, but that has changed. I get telemarketing calls on my cell all the time. The problem is, people are now adding their cell phones to the DNC list AND even more than their home phone, they tend not to answer it if they don't know who is calling.
I'm not sure you will have sudden success just because you have a list of cell phone numbers. All the rest of the rules still apply from no robocalling to complying with the DNC.
