The phone company doesnt care what name its listed under. As long as its a real name. Well, what they dont know wont hurt them. Trust me they dont check up. As long as the bill gets paid theyre happy. Dont use YOUR last name tho. That defeats the purpose. And if you dont have a cat just pick a name.

Your so right

LOL!! Never looked at it that way!

Today, while letting my food settle after lunch, I went through past calls on my cell phone. I Googled all numbers I didn't recognize and those that required it were added to my contact list as "telemarket".

26 phone numbers added, many of them from multiple calls.

The best part? Just as I started writing this post my phone buzzed and said "telemarket". Hah!! Gotcha!
