That is sick.  I also have a fax machine, and I bet I get five faxes a day soliciting some stock or lower mortgage.

I registered my cell phone a few years ago when I did the home number, but I do not know if it was valid at that time. I guess I should go make sure it is registered anyway.

I thought I had heard this before. I checked Snopes.com and found this....

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.

Here's the truth:

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. When the directory is ready, it will be available only as part of the existing 411 directory service, accessed by calling in and asking for a specific number. It will not be published in a book or on the Internet. And it will not be sold to telemarketers.

Cell phone subscribers can list their numbers on the do-not-call registry if they choose, but there is no deadline to get on the list, as the e-mail messages now circulating suggest

The entire article can be found here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp
