The wireless phone companies are creating an opt-in 411 directory, but it's already against the law to use automated dialers to call cellphone numbers.

3. The link doesn't say anything about what you are saying
There is a urban legend out there about telemarketers getting a list of cell phone numbers but it is a bunch of bull crap.

6. I have been getting telemarketing calls
on my cell phone for almost a year now.

So if I don't recognize the number and it's long distance, I just don't answer.
