Innovative concept but you have a couple of small problems to overcome.
I practice what I preach and filter junk mail right at the post office.
Postage-due stuff gets returned.  I do have a cell phone but since 
making harrassing phone calls to cellular numbers is illegal in 
Ga (and maybe nationwide.), things could get very uncomfortable for you.
At the very minimum, it could be considered theft of services.  Since
the cellular system bill provides a very nice paper trail, cellular
harrassment is not a good move at all.
