Re: Telemarketing to Cellphones

Before you get everyone all excited and bent out of shape maybe you should tell the *whole* story and not just the bit that's supposed to make us all worry that cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers. The truth is that a wireless 411 "directory" is being developed. Your number in most cases will not automatically be included in this directory. In most cases you will have to *opt in* to the directory. Even when you do opt in there will be no paper directory. It will only be available through operators.

You are being terribly irresponsible in circulating this untrue rumor that telemarketers will receive cell phone numbers.
