There is a grain of truth in the message making it believable, but it's wrong on two counts: Not all cell phone numbers will be listed in the national directory planned for 2006. And telemarketers will not have access to the directory. It is illegal for marketers using auto-dialers — and most do — to call wireless phone numbers.

A national directory will be compiled, but numbers will be included on an opt-in basis.
If a cell phone subscriber does nothing, the number will not be listed.

This email warning has been going around for two years now.

Last time someone called on my cell phone and started to pitch me something, I said Do You Know, this is a cell phone? They said, sorry and hung up immediatly.
