Since I’ve been hearing about this, I decided to do some investigating. I found the following at Snopes:
Claim: A directory of cell phone numbers will soon be published.
Status: Multiple:
* A consortium of wireless providers is planning to create a 411 (directory assistance) service for cell phone numbers: True.
* You must register your cell phone with the national “Do Not Call” directory before 1 January 2005 to prevent your number from being provided to telemarketers: False.
So that’s that. 🙂
