Received this heads up in today's E-Mail.

Cell Phone Directory

A directory of cell phone numbers will be published soon. This opens the
door to solicitors calling our cell phones using up our minutes. The
Federal Trade Commission has set up a do not call list. You must call FROM
the number you wish to register, OR go to their website at
www.donotcall.gov, to be included on the do not call list. The number is
1-888-382-1222.

I suspect the reason it doesn't generate much interest is because there is no directory to be published. What will be coming is "wireless 411" where you can dial 411 from a cell phone and ask for someone's cell number. It's an opt-in only service though so if you don't opt in your cell number won't be available.

Adding your cell number to the Do Not Call registry certianly own't hurt however. Wink

fishin' I am not completely sold on that.

I had (have would be more correct) a stalker and so I called AT&T to yell at them for publishing my phone number "somewhere" .....and manager after manager said they have never done that (true - found out later, they got my number somewhere else), BUT a published online directory IS in the works. They gave me the address to write in to say "when it is published, don't put my number there!"
