Americans spending more on cell phones than landlines

You knew this day would come - national statistics now show for the first time that Americans' cell phone bills are now higher than their local and long distance home phone bills. How about yours? Those numbers are based on an estimated 170 million landline accounts in the USA, vs. 250 million cell phones.

To Beverly:

You can only register your cell phone number at the national Do Not Call Registry, run by the Federal Trade Commission.

Missouri law does not allow cell phones to be added to the state No Call list. AG Nixon has asked the legislature for several years now to change this law.
